OFFICE OF,THE CHAIRMAN
12 July 1974
Mr. Colby:
Attached is a draft of a talking paper for the
1 August PFIAB meeting. It covers Phase I of a
proposed course of~action which would be responsive
,to a number of the non-operational PFIAB recommenda-
tions - principally those which bear on what they
call the need for a "national focus" of human source
collection.
If you have no major problems with the thrust
of the draft, I will clean it up a bit and have it
in your PF'IAB book which will be putting
together.

PFIAB TALKING PAPER
HUMAN SOURCE COLLECTION
The findings of your March 1973 report concerning the
national focus of human source collection states that:
"human source intelligence is a national endeavor
and not merely a collection of autonomous efforts,".
--systematizing, amalgamating and optimizing the. e
efforts is a national problem and not a problem to be
solved individually by several agencies--.11
In this regard you called for an improved national focus throe 1
steps to be taken whereby I can maintain "a regular overview or
resources, requirements, and responsiveness". Ycu also urz
me to probe for ways and means of exploiting and improving t ,he
collective efforts of the Government in human source
collection.

The problems of requirements and responsiveness stem
in large part from deficiencies in the adequacy of
substantive communication between production analysts E.nd
the human source collectors.
Analysts comp lain that:
without having a good feel for the collection
and reporting capabilities of State, Defense and CI.P
they cannot sort out from among these entices wno-
.can- do-what-best and provide each with tailored
guidance.
the responsiveness of collectors seems to be little
affected despite analyst efforts at requirements
and evaluations - so why bother. .
Collectors in turn complain that analysts tend to corn -nun i -ate
to them a combination of:
highly general unfocused statements of need which
belabor the obvious

a profusion of encyclopedic guides, manuals, lists
and detailed questions formulated without a realistic
understanding of current reporting capabilities or et-en the
likelihood of human sources being able to a.nswec-
the questions.
. , no feed-back on the relevance of their reporting to the
key substantive issues of current concern to the
Washington community.
There are, however, instances when communication is good
and the substantive guidance system works well, such as:
.-whet the analyst and the collector, through initiative or
happenstance, establish sensible communication and it
develops that one has a clear and specific need and to
other has an existing capability to provide information
that is directly relevant. The analyst and collector
can now play the question-answer and further-question 1-,_me.
This nie ans that in instances where the area of source
knowledgeability can be reasonably well defined to the analyst.
he can and will respond with clear and concise guidance ailor~!d
to optimize exploitation of the source or source ma.teria_i av2 i' able
to the collector.

Instances such as these do not happen often enough to
be effective throughout the human source community.
But I realize that it is not realistic to try to have each
of the State, DOD and CIA collection managers join an
institutionalized community-wide system of "source
notifications" against which all community analysts
write tailored guidance.
To develop a foundation for my overview of requirements anc
responsiveness, and as a means of improving substanti' e
communication between analyst and collector, I intend to
begin with systematic assessments of the collective reportir#
on the host country from our principal U. S. foreign poss.
These assessments will serve several purposes, the first of
which is to form the basis for communicating to analysts
fairly precise profiles of substantive areas of source
knowledgeabilities on the host country (or reporting strengths
at each post, not only that of State but also that of Defense az

Armed with this insight into the most valuable col-
lection capabilities (or reporting strengths) of the
several collection entities at the post, the analy;;t
can be motivated to tailor and communicate highly
relevant substantive guidance via each collector's
own command channel.
Such guidance should serve to maximize exploita-
tion of the identified reporting strengths.
These assessments will also serve to identify collection
and reporting deficiencies at the post, such as:
*a void in post reporting coverage of host country
1
affairs of current concern to U. S. national intel-
ligence consumers;
reporting, which is of marginal value to the com-
munity's national intelligence production process;
reporting of information on host country affairs
which is readily available in Washington through
the press, broadcasts or similar media;
failure to optimize a valuable collection capability
despite improved and tailored substantive guidance;
Clandestine Service reporting on host country affairs
which logically should be covered by overt reporters
at the post.

On the basis of the overall findings of these assess-
ments I shall be able to communicate to both ambassadors
and respective collection managers my guidance on the
most effective distribution of tasks among various post
resources having responsibilities for the reporting of
information useful to U. S. intelligence.
Ultimately, as I am able to employ these post reporting
resources as "a cohesive national asset, " I will be able
to:
optimize the interrelationship between overt and
clandestine collection on important national require-
ments on selected host countries; and
clearly set forth those topics on which:
? .. overt collection and reporting of information cn
the host country can satisfy a large part of the
national requirements but on which some
clandestine collection is required to gain ad-
ditional perspective or balanced views not
available through State and DOD reporting by
itself;

overt reporting can provide all of the informa-
tion needed to maintain base line surveillance
of affairs in the host country, thereby con-
serving the CIA assets at the post for use
against the hard targets (e. g. , USSR and PRC).
One of the key points in my 1975 Objectives, which I rece-fitly
transmitted to the President, was the creation of the the
new Human Sources Committee of USIB and a task to im-
prove substantive communication between intelligence
producers and human source collectors.

In this regard I am now specifically tasking the Chairrrnn.n
of this Committee, in a Letter of Instruction, to t tke J
steps necessary:
to implement the program which I have outlined for
systematic community-wide assessment of the
reporting from selected major posts in terms of it.,;
responsiveness on host country affairs of concern #o
consumers of the U.S. national intelligence product;
and,
to use these assessments to improve substantive
communications and thereby optimize both the re-
porting capabilities and potential of the post.
Over the past several years, several somewhat-related ac-. _ons
have been undertaken, such as when the CIA and State analt.ical
components assessed the adequacy of Foreign Service Cif:: cue;
reporting from various posts in support of the Departrnen, I
own Inspector General surveys. These have been useful fc- a
limited specific purpose.
What I am proposing here is vastly different:
.. It is a community-wide assessment of collective State, DOD
and CIA reporting from the post that will be the forerumer

of a results-producing system for overseeing the
performance of all human source reporting resources
at the posts.
Once this beginning step is well underway, several more phases
will be required in order to further unify the human source
collection effort.
These include:
development of a similar systematic approach for
maintaining an overview of the responsiveness of the total
,community human source effort against the denied-
area hard targets, primarily the USSR and the PRC:
development of a program for integration of these
collection assets now controlled by the services an,:i
militaty commands into the overall community
human source collection guidance system.

- This systematic approach to intensifying the national focus
of the human source collection effort is not an "instant
cure " for the many problems caused by the autonomy of
various parts of the human source collection effort which
your report noted.
But as the effort moves toward the ultimate objective
of a national effort, it will also treat many of your
specific recommendations such as those concerning
the inadequacies in the State and Defense guidance
and requirements mechanisms; the tailoring of intel-
ligence taskings of Defense Attaches; the identifica-
tion of DOD collection units essential for support to
commands; refinement of economic requirements Tor
clandestine collection; and, last but not least, a re
vitalization of State and Defense awareness of their

I want to commend you and your associates for the
initiative you have shown in adopting new manage-
ment directions for the Central Intelligence Agency.
The steps described in your Agency's Annual Report
for Fiscal Year 1973 and subsequent developments
support my directives of November 1971 and my
expectation that you can produce better intelligence
at less cost.
I realize that you face problems and budgetary
pressures, but you have started on the right path.
I want to encourage you to continue to make the CIA
more responsive, to improve its product, and to
insure that resources are applied to priority needs.
I also support your efforts to extend these same
goals to the rest of the intelligence community.
Sincerely,,.,

Extract from MOR on DCI's Meeting with PFIAB of 7 June 1974
"5. The DCI suggested the Committee defer a report on the
HUMINT question until next meeting. DCI, on inquiry, did report that he
had had a conversation with the Director, FBI, and that matters were
running smoothly in that quarter. The Chairman registered satisfaction
and noted this was his understanding as well. As a parting comment,
however, the DCI noted that he still had a number of issues with
the Department of State which he hoped to address with the Secreta-<
at an early date and on which he could report later to the Board
if desired."

Interim Report on FY 1974 Objectives
for the Intelligence Community
1. The five objectives for the Intelligence Community, as
approved by the President on 23 September 1973, were based on
the Presidential memorandum of 5 November 1971 on "Organiza-
tion and Management of the Intelligence Community, ff and were
supported by 24 identified tasks and eight sub-tasks.

objectives.
Assure authoritative and responsible leadership for th?
Community as a -whole.
Providing this leadership has been my principal
focus throu?hout the year a- d is reflected in responses
to'the other objectives. A determined effort has been
made to establish substantive intelligence needs of the
US Government as the driving force for work of the
Intelligence Community.
-- "ey Intelligence Questions (KIQs) were prornul.zate.i,
in coordination with members of the National Sec_~
Council Intelligence Committee, as guidance for nearter
collection and production activity on matters of hi=Yh cia rrei
interest. New KIQs are being formulated for FY 197-9.
-- "The DCI's Perspective of the Intelligence
Environment" was disseminated in August 1973 throughout
the Community as guidance. The document d ascribed
trends in the world situation expected to have an imp at on
intelligence tasks and identified the primary intelligence
problems to which attention needed to be directed. A new

included both tasks which could be completely accomplished Withi
the year and projects which will require attention over a cone ruin
period. Overall, I consider that satisfactory accomplishment or
progress was achieved in more than three-fourths of the tasks. in
two instances, tasks were quite clearly redundant and were eiimi-
nested, and progress was slower on a few tasks than I had anticinatedf.
As a case in point, in response to the President's charge that-tact:-c31
intelligence be included in the National Foreign Intelligence BiLdgett:
Recommendations, one of the major FY 1974 tasks was to be tom-
pletion of a joint Secretary of Defense-DCI study of the national/
tactical intelligence interface. Work is well underway, but still fz.r
from completion, and in retrospect the original schedule for
accomplishment of what is clearly a very complicated task wa-s
unrealistic.
4. From the DCI level, much of the management-by-objective
process is necessarily permissive rather than directive since the
DCI has no authority to direct accomplishment of tasks by orgxzniz~_--
tions within the federal departments. The identification of obj>ecti=.-es
and of tasks related to movement toward those goals served a usef if
purpose, however, and was supported by a high level o coope7-atior,
throughout the Community. The FY 1975 effort, for which obj :ctij-e3
already have been developed and milestones established, will
benefit from the"FY 1974 experience.

THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20305
The President
The White House
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
18 June 1974
Thank you for your most encouraging letter of March 22, 1974,
and its reinforcement of your earlier directives that I assume
leadership of the Intelligence Community. Since taking the oath in
your presence last September 4th to fulfill these duties, I am pleases
to report a general spirit of cooperation and collaboration among
the different elements of the Intelligence Community. The committee
structures established in your November 5, 1971, directive
(National Security Council Intelligence Committee, Intelligence
Resources Advisory Committee, and the reconstituted United States
Intelligence Board) have been useful vehicles for the deternzinati_)n
of substantive and resource questions affecting the Intelligence
C ommunity.
During Fiscal Year 1974 we have been implementing the
Objectives approved in your letter of September 25, 1973. 1 hopY
the annual report on these Objectives, to be filed after the end of
the fiscal year, will be satisfying to you. A number of steps have
been taken which in my view improve the responsiveness of the
Intelligence Community to your needs, those of the National Security
Council, and those of the Congress. Specific steps of an organiza-
tional and procedural character have also been taken to focus the
Intelligence Community on higher priority needs and to increase
the effectiveness of our collection and analytical operations.
A fundamental element of my attempt to respond to your long-
term goals of November 5, 1971, is the effort to establish
25X1

 Approved For Release 2004/03/23 : CIA-RDP80MO1082A000900190003-4
substantive intelligence needs as the driving force for the
Intelligence Community. Organization, evaluation and resource
allocation should seek the satisfaction of such intelligence require-
ments. I am pleased to report a general acceptance of a new
venture in this area, the identification of Key Intelligence Questions
for Fiscal Year 1974, which your September 25th letter encoura`:ed
me to produce. This guidance for what the Intelligence Community
should cover will be used as the base point for the evaluation of our
effectiveness at the end of the fiscal year. We are still working
out the details to implement this process fully, but I intend to ensure
that the substantive intelligence needs of our customers dominate
discussions and decisions about the Intelligence Community.
*Carrying on the process described above, and still responsive
to your November 5, 1971, long-term goals, I submit herewith for
your approval the Objectives of the Intelligence Community for
Fiscal Year 1975. The first group of these I have termed "Substantive
Objectives, " describing the output I believe you would esp ect of the
Intelligence Community during Fiscal Year 1975. These Substantive
Objectives would be used as the base for the development of more
detailed Key Intelligence Questions which I would issue to the
Intelligence Community with the approval of the National Security
Council Intelligence Committee. A second set is named "Resource
Management Objectives,'' dealing with the interaction of the members
of the Intelligence Community and the allocation of resources to a`-;_d
among them. These Objectives will be reflected in my Dec o:r-her
submission to you of recommendations for the national for'eia;n
intelligence program, including tactical intelligence. estones
have been established for the measurement and evaluation of
progress toward satisfaction of these two sets of Objectives, and
they will become the basis for my annual report to you of how
effectively the Intelligence Community performs during Fiscal Yezr
1975. A copy of the Milestones has been provided to the Director
of the Office of Management and Budget.

Dear George:
Your letter of 27 February is much appreciated.
I fully agree with your view that the tactical intelligence
capabilities of the Navy need to be sustained, and I only wish it
were possible for me to include a visit to the Naval forces in the
Mediterranean during my March trip to Europe. As you can understand,
my trip already has been planned on a very tight schedule. I am,
however, arranging for Lieutenant General Graham, my Deputy for the
Intelligence Community, to visit Rota as part of a trip he will be
making in late March. I will try later to make specific visits to
the U&S Commanders, including USCINCEUR, to allow more detailed
observation of the intelligence needs of the military forces in the
field.
The national/tactical intelligence interface study is moving
along, but it is far from completion. I appreciate your offer of
pertinent parts of the Board's Navy study for use in this effort.
I recognize the basis for your concern with respect to coverage
of the NRP in an omnibus NSCID, but I can assure you we are not
going to tinker with a program which is operating well. There is
no intention to consider NRO activities as just another intelligence
system.
The omnibus NSCID project is still in the rough draft stage.
The initial effort is exploring whether all of the existing NSCIDs
could be consolidated in a single NSCID at the Secret level. From

NSCID and DCID structure which might be Improved. We wit1
certainly be in touch with you before any draft hardens into
final form and, as usual, would be most appreciative of your
views.

PRESIDENT'S FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY BOARD
February 27, 1974
In reviewing the minutes of your presentation at the February 7
Board meeting, two items which you raised stimulated discussion
then or subsequently on matters of deep and longstanding concern
to the Board that I believe worthwhile bringing to your current
attention. They are:
(1) management of the National Reconnaissance Program; and
(2) strategic- tactical intelligence interface.
25X1
The Board is most enthusiastic about your present effort to examine
the original directives governing the management of the NRP, and
reiterates its offer to assist you in this process. With regard to
constructing a National Security Council Intelligence Directive to,
among other things, replace the Vance/Raborn agreement of 1965,
the Board would be reluctant to support an "omnibus" NSCID if the
NRP would thereby be treated as any other intelligence system.
We believe the magnificent achievements and management effi-
ciencies obtained to date are in great measure a reflection of the
special treatment accorded this most valuable national asset.
As regards the subject of strategic-tactical intelligence interface.
the Board strongly endorses your intent to address this matter in
the comprehensive manner it deserves. You may be assured of our
support in this endeavor as well. In this connection, we believe
there are certain parts of the Board's Navy study, conducted in
response to the President's charge at our October 4, 1973 meeting
with him, which you may find of some utility. As soon as it is
possible to do so, I will send you a copy for review. In the mean-
time, however, let me note that, based on our observations worldwide.
we conclude that the U. S. Navy now has an advantage over the Soviet
Navy in the tactical exploitation of communications intelligence.

The technical support necessary to sustain this requires some
assistance from the Washington community, but the finished
product is generated on-the-scene and reflects the essential
relationship between intelligence and operations.
If you are able to keep your scheduled European trip, might I
suggest that, if it is at all possible, you include a day or perhaps
two in the Mediterranean area with our Naval forces. Based on
Members' reactions, I believe you too would find it exceptionally
beneficial, particularly as regards the ability and limitations of
tactical forces to satisfy their own intelligence requirements and
their level of dependence on national authorities. I am confident
the Navy would welcome the opportunity to host you.
