MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM:
Acting Deputy to the DCI for Resource Management
SUBJECT: Final Sign-Off on Your Annual Report I
1. Action Requested: That you do any final scan of the attached
galley proof of your Annual Report that you wish, and sign off on several
proposed changes in your own pre of the year (Part I) entered since
you approved the edited text.
2. Back round:
a. We have taken several specific substantive suggestions
from your Deputies and senior Intelligence Community managers on
topics in your precis of 1978 in Intelligence (Annual Report
Part I). For ou review they are, in order (see passages marked
in galley): For
25X1
(1) In E.O. highlight #5, Counterintelligence, end of
fi
t
rs
paragraph, rewrite suggested by John McMahon to reflect:
th
t th
a
e SCC(CI) has not been the principal catalyst of improved
FBI
CIA
/
liaison; that 1978 marked a further enhancement of
FBI
CI
/
A relations, not a revitalization; and that the increase
i
n personal contact is at your (Directors') le el--greatly
in
creased contact has been oing on at worki g and mar/gement
l
evels for several years.
OK No 2
5X1
(2) In E.O. highligh
f
t #6
, Restrictions, last sentence
o
second paragraph: should charter legislation not "dove-
t
i
"
a
l,
existing E.O. would, of course, have to be changed
t
o accord with law; your Legislatiave Counsel has suggested
thi
"
s
balance of guidelines and flexjbility" language which
we believe is your view.
OK V`` No 2
5X1
(3) Relations with
Congr
ess, end of first paragraph:
a sentence is inserted on surveillance legislation; your
L
egislative Counsel thought it might cause offense to 2

highli ~ht Congressional legislation coo on without
mentiQfiing this prominent 1978 effort.
No

25X1
(4) In your 17 January staff meeting, the DDCI
raised sensitivity to "openness"'and suggested Herb
Hetu review Part I in that light. He has done so; the
word occurs only twice in the first paragraph on
relations with The Public; he suggests changing
"openness" to "candor" in the first sentence; the word
"openness" has been dropped in the next senten as
grammatically unnecessary. I1 OK No 25X1
(5) DIA and AF have raised 11-3/8 "net assessment"
concerns in the Annual Report context in connection with
the first paragraph in Estimating. We have advised them
that in your Annual Report you are likely to wish to state
only your own strongly held views on the appropriateness,
indeed usefulness, of carefully caveated force comparisons
in estimates. Should you wish to bow to DoD concerns, you
could insert a sentence to the effect that some disagreement
exists over the degree to which it is appropriate for
Intelligence Corjmunity to get into force comparisons.
Leave as is _/ Add sentence
(6) In the paragraph on Predicting Political Upheavals
(Iran), the sentence "In Iran, clearly we were inhibited by
our desire not to undercut a friendly government...." has
been deleted at John McMahon's suggestion because in the Iran
case a decision was made back in -976 to try to collect on
internal opposition. The gene statement stands without
the Iran example. IOK No
(8) Just after that, a paragraph on the L_j has
been inserted at suggestion in view of the
promin of Pr i en is and Congressional concern in
1978. OK No

(9) In the fourth paragraph in the same section on
National/Tactical Interface, we are inserting a sentence
on the relationship with EUCOM re Warsaw Pact troop
rotation at Les Dirks' suggestion. In the next sentence,
both Bobby Inman and RM wonder whether you would rather
say "Our ability to develop the proper balance between
national and tactical capabilities is very important; it
is also...." instead of "Our ability to develop
capabilities to fill commanders' needs is very 1pgftant."
Leave as is Change ao
b. The only substantPart II changes since you last
reviewed the draft are:
25X1
-- We deleted the last two paragraphs in the National/
Tactical Interface discussion in Part II. 1 ::1
thought he had captured your view on funding in ose
paragraphs; since he obviously didn't, you and he need to
discuss this complex topic further (and a funding statement
is not essential in the Annual Report context).
3. Recommendation: If you can review changes tonight, we and
the printers are hopeful of meeting the HPSCI 25 January deadline. I I
