MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy to the DCI for Resource Management
SA/DCI
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Annual Report for 1978
1. The DDCI and I had a discussion on Thursday about the draft
Annual Report. I believe he has communicated with John separately on
this. I told him that I basically liked the draft report, but I was
concerned that it was a bit too long and that I had considerable
reluctance to modify it substantially since I had approved the outline
in fair detail.
2. Reflecting on this at home on Friday, I decided that it would
do me some. good to organize my own thoughts as to where we had come in
1978 and where we were likely to be going in 1979. Accordingly, I did
an outline and sat down with a tape recorder and the results are attached.
Please throw this into your pot of drafts as another consideration. When
doing it, I would particularly like to have you get OLC to look carefully
at the legislative part of it, and Les Dirks at the past and
future satellite material, John McMahon at the HUMINT, and any others
you think could judge whether we have encapsulated the record and the
trends in their areas.
3. Incidentally, I believe this draft could virtually be unclassified
at least down to the details about the future.
4. -I didn't have any of the drafts with me when I worked on this,
nor did I have any list of what Boland's committee specifically requires
of us in this report. On the other hand, if those specific requirements
don't fit into the framework, they could be tacked on as appendices.

Here is an advance copy of the draft section
from the DCI's Annual Report on Major 1978 Accom-
plishments. The substantive part at the end I
sought Mr. Bowie's advice on, and he told me through
Alan that he favored this three category approach
(negotiations, support to decisions, area
background.) I will be circulating a full draft
for NFIB principals comments in about two weeks,
but it might make life easier if you in NFAC had
an early look at this section as you did at the
other three sections of particular interest to you.
Please phone any advance comments to me
by COB 2$ Dec and I'll include them in the
NFIB draft; otherwise things can be caught in the
full draft. One word of caution; the DCI is especiall
