~9 MARCH ~9~0
AS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE FACULTY, IT GIVES ME
GREAT PLEASURE TO COME BACK TO THE ARMED FORCES STAFF
COLLEGE AS A GUEST SPEAKER AND TO TALK TO THE 4TH
CLASS ABOUT THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
I HOPE YOU FIND THIS SUBJECT INTERESTING, I
AM SURE YOU RECOGNIZE THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF IN-
TELLIGENCE IN THE MAKING OF NATIONAL DECISIONSa IT
IS POSSIB LE THAT SOME OF YOU WILL BE AFFECTED DIRECTLY
IN FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS. WHEN YOU MAY BE WORKING WITH
CIA, WITH SOME OTHER PART OF THE INTELLIGENCE COM-
MUNITY, OR WITH U, So INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES OVER-
SEASa IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR YOU, THEREFORE. TO BE
ACQUAINTED WITH THE FUNCTIONS AND ORGANIZATION OF
CIA, ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE IN-
TELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. WHAT NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS
AND HOW IT SERVES THE POLICY-MAKING PROCESSo SOME
EXPOSURE TO THE WIDE VARIETY OF RELATIONSHIPS CIA
HAS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THE MILITARY
SERVICES MIGHT ALSO BE HELPFUL
THE PLACE CIA OCCUPIES IN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
STRUCTURE AND THE ACTIVITIES IT UNDERTAKES ARE WELL

THE CONGRESS PROVIDED FOR FURTHER DEFINITIO6J AND RE-
FINEMENT OF CIA'S FUNCTIONS, IT SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED
CIA "TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY
COUNCIL FOR THE COORDINATION OF SUCH INTELLIGENCE
ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES OF THE
GOVERNMENT AS RELATE TO NATIONAL SECURITY," UPON
RECEIVING PRESIDENTIAL APPROVAL. THESE RECOMMENDA-
TIONS ARE ISSUED IN A SERIES OF CLASSIFIED PAPERS

WHICH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS AND THEY
DISTRIBUTE ASSIGNMENTS OF RESPONSIBILITY AMONG THE
DIFFERENT U,S, INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES,

THEY REPRESENT A MEANS FOR CIA AND THE OTHER INTEL-

AT PEARL HARBOR RESULTED IN THE DETERMINATION FOLLOW-

I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE SCHEDULED FOR A PRESENTATION ON
DIA, ITS FUNCTIONS, ORGANIZATION AND POSITION WITHIN
DOD, AND THE CUSTOMERS IT SERVES
THE INTELLIGENCE UNITS OF THE ARMY, I~AVY, AND
AIR FORCE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PARTICULAR MISSIONS
OF EACH ONE OF THE SERVICES. MUCH OF THE WORK OF THE
THREE SERVICE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENTS IS COORDINATED
BY THE DIRECTOR OF DIA~
IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THERE IS AN INTELLIGENCE
UNIT WHICH SERVES THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE POL-
ICY PLANNERSs IN A SENSE ALL OF OUR DIPLOMATIC PER-

A REQUIREMENT FOR MEN WHO APPLY THEMSELVES PROFES-

VITAL FIELD OF INTELLIGENCE ON NUCLEAR ENERGY DEVELOP-
MENT5B
A PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INVESTIGATION IS THE INTERNAL SECURITY OF THE
UNITED STATES, BUT YOU GAN EASILY IMAGINE THE VITAL
CONNECTION BETWEEN FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AND INTERNAL
SECURITYo SO THE FBI, T00, IS A MEMBER OF THE INTEL-
LIGENCE COMMUNITYB THE FBI AND CIA WORK CLOSELY
TOGETHER. BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH COMBATING AN INTER-
NATIONAL-NETWORK OF COMMUNIST CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. WHOSE OPERATIONS AND AGENTS
MOVE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE UoSa AND FOREIGN CoUN-
TRIESe
THESE THEN, EXCEPT FOR THE idSA WHICH IS IN A
UNIQUE CATEGORY. ARE THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY--CIA. STATE. DIA AND THE SERV-
ICE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENTS. AEC, AND FBI
IN ORDER TO ROUND OUT THE PICTURE OF THE COM-
MUNITY. I MUST ADD A NUMBER OF WHAT WE CALL ~~SERVICES
OF COMMON CONCERNa'r IT MIGHT BE MORE ENLIGHTENING
TO CALL THEM ~,ATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ~~~, THESE
ARE ACTIVITIES WHICH SERVE THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT
RATHER. THAN ANY PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY.

BY ONE AGENCY, BUT ACTUALLY OPERATE DIRECTLY FOR THE

THE OLDEST AND LARGEST OF THESE IS THE f~ATIONAL
SECURITY AGENCYe SINCE YOU RECEIVE A SEPARATE LECTURE
ON NSA, I WONBT GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT IT.
OTHER IMPORTANT NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ASSETS ARE
THE NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION CENTER. THE
BOARD OF NATIONAL ESTIMATES. AND THE FOREIGN BROADCAST
INFORMATION SERVICE AS THE CHART SHOWS, THESE ARE
PART OF CIA AND I WILL DISCUSS THEM WHEN I GET TO THE
INTERNAL WORKINGS OF THE AGENCY

AND IT MIGHT HAMPER THIS FUNCTION IF THE DIRECTOR WERE
SIMULTANEOUSLY TO ACT AS CHAIRMAN AND TO ADVANCE THE
VIEWS OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCYs FOR THIS
REASON, CIA HAS SEPARATE REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD

SINCE THE ESTAB LISHMENT OF DIA, THE INTELLI-
GENCE CHIEFS OF THE ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE ALSO
ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN USIB, BUT AS OBSERVERS
RATHER THAN AS OFFICIAL MEMBERS THEY RETAIN THE
RIGHT, AND, IN FACT, THE DUTY TO EXPRESS ANY DISSENT
THEY MAY HAVE ON MATTERS UNDER DISCUSSION, AND THIS
IS A FUNCTION THEY DO NOT HESITATE TO PERFORM
USIB MEETS REGULARLY ONCE A WEEK--SOMETIMES MORE
OFTENo I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NSGID WHICM ESTABLISHED IT,
USIB OPERATES AS AN ADVISORY BODY TO THE DIRECTOR OF
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCEe
THE USIB IS CONCERNED WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS? THE BOARD SETS FORTH--AND
PERIODICALLY REVISES--THE NATIONAL PRIORITIES FOR
THE GUIDANCE OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IN CHOOS-
ING INTELLIGENCE TARGETS AND IN ASSIGNING ASSETS TO
COVER THESE TARGETS?
THE USIB ALSO REVIEWS IN DRAFT FORM AND IN GREAT
DETAIL THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATES AND CERTAIN
OTHER REPORTS WHICH THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLI-

A NUMBER OF SPECIALIZED COMMITTEES WHICH FUNCTION IN
SUBSTANTIVE FIELDS, SUCH AS NUCLEAR ENERGY, MISSILE

SUCH AS SECURITY, AUDIO COUNTERMEASURES, AND THE EX-

THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY CIA FALL INTO ~ ~~`~`
THREE BROAD CATEGORIES;
COLLECTION OF INTELLIGENCE:
COVERT ACTION OPERATIONS: AND
PRODUCTION OF FINISHED INTELLIGENCEw
WE FIND IT CONVENIENT TO DIVIDE CIA`s INTELLI-
GENCE COLLECTION ACTIVITIES INTO THREE GROUPINGS THAT
REFLECT DIFFERENT MEANS OF ACQUISITION THE FIRST
IS OVERT COLLECTION WHICH, AS THE NAME SUGGESTS,
COVERS INFORMATION SECURED BY OPEN OR NONCLANDESTINE

BY THE FOREIGN ~ROADCAST INFORMATION SERVICE, WHICH

WITHOUT REGARD TO OFFICIAL POLICIES OR OBJECTIVES OF
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND SOMETIMES IN DIAMETRIC
OPPOSITION TO THOSE POLIGIES~
THIS IS NOT AT ALL THE CASE., THE .FACT IS THAT
WHENEVER THE CIA CARRIES OUT" A COVERT ACTION OPERATTON
OVERSEASo IT IS WITH THE PRIOR APPROVAL. OF THE HIGHEST,
LEVELS OF THE GOVERNMENT
WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF SUPERVISION OF
AGENCY ACTIVITIES I WOULD I~IACE TO SAY THAT. CONTRARY
TO THE GENERAL IMPRESSIONS CIA IS SUBJECT TO RESPONSI-
BLE AND AUTHORITATIVE SUPERVISION ON A CONTINUING
BASIS BY INSTRUMENTS OF BOTH THE EXECUTIVE AND LEG-
ISLATIVE BRANCHES OF' THE GOVERNMENTP IN THE SENATE
AND HOUSE THIS IS EXERCISED BY SPECTAL SUBCOMMITTEES
OF THE APPROPRIATIONS AND ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEESe
IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CIA IS UNDER CLOSE SCRUTINY
OF THE PRESIDENTS FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY
BOARDS THE BUREAU OF THE BUDGET AND THE VARIOUS COM-
MITTEES OF THE NEW y~ATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL SYSTEM
THESE COMMITTEES PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE MECHANISM FOR
THE INTEGRATION OF THE. AGENCY'S ACTIVITTES WITH OTHER
OVERSEAS OPERATIONS OF OUR GOVERNMENT
THE THIRD PRIMARY MISSION OF CIA IS TO PRODUCE
