NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD
MEMORANDUM FOR: Members, National Foreign Intelligence Board
SUBJECT: Intelligence Definitions
REFERENCE: NFIB 24.1/14, Subject: Definitions of Intelligence,
dated 13 September 1977
1. The Intelligence Definitions Working Group, which was established
by the reference, has completed the initial task of devising definitions
appropriate for inclusion in an unclassified intelligence glossary. You
are asked to comment on:
? The substance of the definitions;
? Any terms which should be included (with proposed
definitions) or any terms which you deem inappropriate
and believe should be omitted;
The draft Preface, Methodology, and Maintenance
chapters (which will be part of the publication
containing the glossary); and
? The draft list of acronyms and abbreviations.
2. While this coordination is underway, the Working Group will
continue to develop supporting annexes designed to enhance the glossary
when it is published (to include an index of other glossaries, graphic
relationships of words and terms, and duplicate definitions and sources
of intelligence terms). In connection with the latter, please bear in
mind that the definitions in this glossary may not and need not coincide
precisely with definitions used elsewhere for departmental or special
legal purposes. I welcome any suggestions you have which will move the
glossary closer to publication.
