MEMORANDUM FOR: D/DCI/IC
Danny- -
This is in response to your request for comments on your
memorandum of 16 April suggesting quarterly "mini.-UST-R"
meetings in EUCOM and PACOM.
Although you say that the primary purpose of these meetings
would be in some way to increase the DCI's influence over the
intelligence activities of the national commands abroad, I have
difficulty seeing how quarterly "mini-USIB" meetings would
accomplish this purpose and what kinds of items would be on
the agendas for such meetings. Without more specificity about
these matters and what aspects of the intelligence activities of
the commands are to be influenced, I cannot comment on the
proposal as such.
In general, however, we stand ready to participate in any
substantive discussions at these "mini-USIBs" if they do not
require substantial research time in preparing for these meetings.
It would seem to me that establishing a quarterly routine initially
might be too ambitious. With EUCOM and PACOM involved, this
would mean eight meetings a year. Because of DIA's relationships
with these commands, how will Admiral de Poix react?
In sum, I think the proposal needs a lot more staffing
before you ask the Director to consider the matter.
