IAEMORANDUM FOR: USIB Committee Chairmen
SUBJECT: Annual Reports and Evaluations of
Committee Progress
REFERENCE: Memo dated 20 June 1975, from Acting
D/DCI/IC, subject as above
1. During the month of August I plan to hold individual
conferences with each chairman to discuss committee progress
during FY 1975 and to work out revised objectives for FY 1976.
2. As the basis for our discussion on committee progress
during the past year I will use two references: the letter of
instruction issued to you by the DCI for FY 1975 and the report
you provided for inclusion in the DCI's annual report to the PFIAB.
3. Before we meet I will also need from each of you a
proposed letter of instruction which contains your best judgments
on where your committee's efforts should be placed during the
coming year. I would like to have these drafts by Wednesday,
6 August, so that we can move ahead quickly to establish committee
objectives for FY 1976.

MEMORANDUM FOR GENERAL WILSON
It is recommended you sign the attached memo to
all USIB Committee chairmen.
Response to this memo by 6 August will give
you the basis for the interviews with the
chairmen which you earlier had indicatdd to
me you would like to conduct in August.
Annual reports are in from all chairmen except
CCPC and HSC. Deadline was 15 July.
I ladvised me this morning he had
never received the memo requesting inputs of
a brief history for inclusion in the report
to PFIAB. He now has a copy and will have an
input ready for you shortly.
I suspect CCPC doesn't have much to report.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence
Community
SUBJECT MPRRD Representation to USIB Committees
1. During your meeting Monday with the USIB Committee
monitors, I indicated that I would like to increase MPRRD
participation in the varicus committees activities. The
primary reason for our participation is to be well informed
of all resource implications which might result from a
committee's efforts. I do not propose that MPRRD personnel
replace any of the current IC Staff monitors, but participate
in the capacity as alternate monitors or as observers. This
involvement will permit us to be more aware of the issues
which may surface and be better prepared as we approach
resource review time.
2. The following are my recommendations for each
committee:
COMIREX--Major Pence and Mr. Eisenhaur as observers.
GMAIC--Major Pence and Mr. Hurwitz as observers.
JAEIC--Mr. Hurwitz as an observer.
SIC--Major Pence as an observer. Larry is currently
a member of the Priorities and Resources Subcommittee
and observer status would help us keep up with other
aspects of the SIC.
IHC--Mr. Hurwitz and Mr. Eisenhaur as observers.
HSC--Mr. Hurwitz and Mr. Eisenhaur as observers.
SIGINT--LTC Parker as a monitor with Major Pence as
his backup.
CCPC, IDC, EIC, and Security Committees--Mr.. Lloyd as
observer. These committees do not have resource
implications of the magnitude that the other committees25X1
do, but I believe we should be aware of their activities.

3. I should point out that although two names are
submitted for most committees, only one observer will normally
attend committee meetings. If you approve of these nominations,
we will coordinate our attendance through the designated IC
Staff monitor.

1. The United States Intelligence Board (USIB) is established, by
National Security Council Directives to advise and assist the Director of
Central Intelligence (DCI) as he may require in discharging his statutory
responsibilities and in coordinating the foreign intelligence activities of
the United States. The Board was created in September 1958 to assume
the responsibilities and functions previously discharged by two separate
bodies - the Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC) and the United States
Communications Intelligence Board (USCIB).
2. Under the chairmanship of the Director of Central Intelligence,
the USIB membership consists of the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence, Vice Chairman, (CIA); the Director of Intelligence and
Research, Department of State; the Director, Defense Intelligence
Agency; the Director, National Security Agency; a representative of the
Secretary of the Treasury; a representative of the Atomic Energy
Commission; and a representative of the Director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. The Director of Central Intelligence, as Chairman, is
authorized to invite the chief of any other department or agency having
functions related to the national security to sit with the United States
Intelligence Board whenever matters within the purview of this department
or agency are discussed. The Intelligence Chiefs of the Military Departments
attend USIB meetings as observers. The structure of the United States
Intelligence Board is shown in Tab A hereto.
3. The basic charter of the USIB and the authorities of the
Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) in his role as the Chairman, USIB,
are contained in National Security Council Intelligence Directives
(NSCID) Nos. 1-8, which are based upon the National Security Act of
1947 as amended. The most basic of these, NSCID No. 1, directs
that the DCI shall coordinate the foreign intelligence activities of the
United States. It also contains the charter of USIB (Tab B) and
specified membership on the Board (see Tab C).
4. NSCID No. 2 directs the coordination and allocation of overt
intelligence collection activities, and NSCID No. 3 covers the coordination
and allocation of intelligence production. NTSCID No. 4 provides for the
handling of defectors. NSCID No. 5 specifies the procedures necessary
to achieve direction and coordination of U. S. espionage and counter-
intelligence activities abroad. The activities pertaining to communications
intelligence (COMINT) and electronic intelligence (:['.LINT), together
designated as SIGINT, are regulated by the provisions of NSCID No. 6.

Establishment of critical intelligence communications means is directed
by NSCID No. 7. Finally, NSCID No. 8 provides guidance on photographic
interpretation for intelligence purposes. As appropriate, the NSCI'Ds are
supplemented by Director of Central Intelligence Directives (DCIDs) which
spell out in greater detail the more general provisions of the NSC
directives.
5. The foregoing NSCIDs were all revised as directed. by the
President in his memorandum of 5 November 1971 which reaffirmed,
clarified and strengthened the DCI as the Government's principal
foreign intelligence officer. Under the new directives, the USIB
structure remained essentially the same, except for the addition of
a member representing the Secretary of the Treasury. The new NSCID
No. 1 states that the USIB is to 'advise and assist'' the DCI with respect
to:
a) the establishment of appropriate intelligence objectives,
requirements and priorities.
b) the production of national intelligence.
c) the supervision of the dissemination and security of
intelligence material.
d) the protection of intelligence sources and methods.
e) as appropriate, policies with respect to arrangements
with foreign governments on intelligence matters.
These responsibilities are complemented by the establishment in NSCID
No. 1 of a new Committee, the Intelligence Resources Advisory Committee
(IRAC), to be chaired by the DCI to advise him on the preparation of the
intelligence budget and the allocation of resources among programs and
to insure that they are employed in accordance with approved requirements
with no unwarranted duplication.
6. In making recommendations in matters concerning such
intelligence activities of the departments and agencies of the Government
as relate to the national security NSCID No. 1 states that the DCI shall
transmit therewith a statement indicating the dissenting views of the
members of the USIB. National Intelligence is produced by the DCI and
can carry a statement of abstention or any substantially differing
opinion of a United States Intelligence Board member or of the Intelligence
Chief of a Military Department.

7. Actions taken by the USIB in regular meetings or by
memorandum vote are concerned about equally with consideration of
substantive estimates and Watch Reports, and with the provision of
policy and program guidance normally formulated by the respective
Board committees. Recently, the USIB has averaged about two meetings
per month with an agenda of 4-5 items, plus around 14 memorandum actions
per month concurring in or noting items not requiring deliberation in
meetings (see Tab D).
/8. The Board of National Estimates ( BNE ) periodically presents
to USIB for concurrence a program of National Intelligence Estimates
(NIEs) for production during the next six months. In preparing this
program the BNE consults with committees of USIB and member agencies,
and with the White House Staff. For all practical purposes, the Chiefs
of Intelligence of the Army, Navy and Air Force contribute to and
participate in the production of NIEs essentially as do IJSIB Members.
Requests for N1Es or Special National Intelligence Estimates (SNIEs) may
also be submitted any time the situation warrants through the Chairman
or the BNE. After approval of the request by the DCI terms of reference
are prepared and contributions elicited from member agencies. From
these contributions BNE prepares a draft which is reviewed, commented.
on and revised as necessary by the BNE and representatives of USIB
agencies prior to submission to the USIB. As pointed out previously,
any agency may register a substantive dissent to any part of an estimate..
9. In order to provide effective professional support to USIB over
the wide range of specialized intelligence subjects considered by the Board,
there are 14 committees reporting directly to USIB. The membership
of these committees is generally made up of trained personnel with
experience in the field represented. The primary areas of responsibility
and examples of subjects handled by the various USIB committees are
shown in Tab E. Most USIB committees, working within their terms of
reference in DCIDs and the policy guidance of the Board, are authorized
to conduct the majority of their day-to-day business without reference
to USIB, unless Board action is required or there is disagreement on a
particular matter. Certain other committees, however, by the nature
of their activities must refer the majority of their work to USIB prior to
dissemination to the intelligence community. The Committee on Imagery
Requirements and Exploitation, the SIGINT Committee, the Critical
Collection Problems Committee, the Guided Missile and Astronautics
Intelligence Committee, the Watch Committee and the Intelligence Information
Handling Committee are outstanding examples of committees
that work closely and frequently with the Board. The Chairman of each
USIB Committee also plays a leading role in support of the DCI and USIB.

O Each chairman is immediately available on a day-to-day basis to the
DCI as Chairman of USIB to perform any staff studies or other assignments
for the DCI or. USIB requiring a coordinated intelligence community approach.
Attached at Tab F are brief narrative descriptions of fourteen USIB.
Corr mittees.
10. As appropriate the USIB Committees are responsive to and
provide support for the DCI and II:.AC in the area of intelligence production
and resource management.
11. The USIB Executive Secretary, under the supervision of the
DCI as Chairman, USIB, provides staff support in managing the Board's
affairs and its relationships with the various USIB committees and agencies.
The USIB Secretariat is primarily concerned with developing an agenda of
items to be considered by the Board at each meeting or by memorandum
action between meetings; reviewing, editing, coordinating, reproducing,
and circulating USIB documents; recording the minutes of each meeting
including a record of memorandum actions; and follow-up actions.

assistants and one information control officer.

National Intelligence Survey Committee
The National Intelligence Survey Committee is the
USIB Committee responsible for guidance of the Nation,-al
Intelligence Survey Program, including final coordination,
approval, dissemination, and development of production
schedules. The Committee is composed of representatives
of State, Army, Navy, Air Force, DIA and Treasury, with
the CIA member (Director/OBGI) as Chairman. The Com-
mittee meets routinely the first Wednesday of each month.
The Committee submits an Annual Report to USIB
on its activities and plans, and it submits an annual production
schedule to USIB, usually planning 12 to 16 months in advance.
Approximately half of the NIS production under current plans
is done within CIA (OCI, OER, OSI, DDP, and OBGI). Most of
the're:mainder is done in DIA. Nevertheless, Army, Navy,
and Air Force members of the Committee participate ctively
and on more-or--less equal footing with the DIA member because
of the high level of inter. est the Services have in the product.

INTERAGENCY CLANDESTINE COLLECTION', PRIORITIES COMMIT T EE
The function of the Interagency Clandestine Collection
Priorities Committee (IPC) is to identify those information
requirements of the U. S. Government which justify clandes?-
tine collection by the Clandestine Service of CIA, and to
publish a current comprehensive statement (IPC List) of
such requirements. The Committee is composed of represen-
tatives of DIA, Army, Navy, Air Force, State, AEC, NSA,
Treasury and CIA (representing DDI-DDS&T), with a senior
officer of the Clandestine Service as Chairman.
The Committee normally meets twice a year to review
procedures and problems but may meet for a particular pur-
pose at the request of any member. The essential work--
the continuous revision of the IPC List--is carried out by the
Secretariat, which is a part of the Foreign Intelligence Staff
of the Clandestine Service, and which is in day--to-day con-
tact with Committee Members. The List consists of 145 sections,
some of world-wide or. regional application but most identifying
requirements for information. on specific countries. Each
section is submitted to all members at least annually for
addition, deletion, or change, but significant new require-
ments are incorporated into the List as they emerge.
