MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. John Waller
Inspector General, CIA
FROM:
Acting Director, Policy Guidance Office
SUBJECT: Input to the DCI's Annual Report ^
1. n Preparation of the DCI's Annual Report for calendar year 1978,
due to t e President and the Congress by 25 January 1979, is now under way.
The DCI has approved a concept for this year's Annual Report which is more
selective than.last year's, both because this seems more appropriate to a
1978 characterized by attention to key intelligence issues rather than the
comprehensive report approach used for 1977 as a year of extensive community
restructuring, and also to limit length for a busy reader to a manageable
30-40 pages (last year's ran 80 plus). The DCI has also approved an outline
for this year's report (Attachment 1). Part I is designed to allow the DCI
to highlight the particular characteristics and emphases of 1978 in intelli-
gence; Part II is intended to air several issues of great importance to him,
his key Executive users, and the Congress. The Annual Report will carry
a high classification and receive extremely limited distribution.
2. 0 In connection with one aspect of the Legal and Propriety issues
section of the outline, we would appreciate your input on the effect to date
of augmented responsibilities, staffing, and increased frequency of some
categories of inspections. We would like, if possible, to get beyond
structural description of types and volume of inspection activity into some
examples of areas in which augmented inspection activities can make a dif-
ference in performance, whether in terms of legality, propriety, security or
operational effectiveness.
