SUBJECT: Meeting with Mr. Horwitz and Generals Carroll and Quinn
on Current Intelligence Publications, 18 April 1963
1. I opened the meeting by referring'to the discussions between
Mr. McCone and Secretary Gilpatric, and saying that we had come to
discuss with them the feasibility of combining the CIA and DIA Bulletins
and that Mr. Cline would explain this in more detail.
2. Mr. Cline then referred to the study that CIA had made on the
problem of identical items appearing in both the CIB and DIB, and stated
that this was considered to be an issue that should be solved in view of the
fact that Mr. McCone had on several occasions been approached by
members of the White House staff to query him concerning differing inter-
pretations placed on the same item by the two services. Mr. Cline
referred to the statistical analysis of how many times during a given
period identical subjects were covered, and on how many occasions there
were differing views or interpretations put forward. He suggested as a
possible solution that there be one bulletin, the CIB, and that DIA issue
supplements on those subjects of strict military interest.
3. General Carroll said at this point that he didn't understand the
problem inasmuch as the CIB was a fully coordinated daily publication on
which DIA was consulted, and furthermore he didn't believe that the DIB
went to the same consumers. There followed comparison of distribution
lists and General Carroll indicated some surprise at the number of copies
of the DIB that went to the White House, and indicated a willingness to
stop all distribution of the publication outside of the Defense Department,
noting that CIA alone got 83 copies.
4. General Carroll then asked the question as to whether the purpose
of the meeting was to study the problem, or to agree on a single daily.
Mr. Horwitz read Mr. Gilpatric's memorandum which simply directed that
he and General Carroll get together with Mr. Cline and myself to study
the problem. I suggested that perhaps the next step would be for DIA to
review the problem from their point of view, and that perhaps after that
was done we could meet again and see what should be changed.

General Carroll commented on the fact that he thought there would be
difficulty with the Secretary of Defense and the JCS if there was any
feeling that DIA was being inhibited in what it published on military
matters. I noted that in the present day practically everything had some
military connotation, and thus it was quite difficult to draw any clear line
between political, economic and military. Everybody agreed readily to
this. There then followed'some discussion of the distribution of the CIB
to the unified and specified commands, and I noted that this was a practice
that had grown up over the years starting with CINCPAC and now there
is a large number.of copies of CIB's going both by wire and hard copy to
the various commands. General Quinn noted that DIA handled this
distribution for us.
5. It was agreed that DIA would produce a study within the next
few days presenting their point of view, and after we had a chance to review
