NOTES ON DRAFT #2, dated 9 DECEMBER 1975:
ORG NIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
Page
2 Parts of the Directorate of Science and Technology are
involved as collectors.
3 USIB's role in advising the DCI on National Intelligence
Estimates and offering departmental dissents to the DCI's
Estimates should be specifically mentioned.
4 Is the statement about final resources and line control
over the NRO accurate?
7 "Production constitutes under 10% of total resources" -
whose? DOD's or the whole Community's?
The accuracy -- either in literal. statement 'or in possible
distortion -- of the full para (beginning "Two thirds...)
troubles me.
10 Top para is awkwardly phrased and, as phrased, misleading.
There is no question about these systems' usefulness to
military commanders in the field. The questions focus
on priorities -- whose needs take precedence, especially
in crises: the national decisionmakers' or the field
commander's.
10 "Another emerging challenge..." para, should frankly state.
"and how to keep. intelligence from being drawn into
partisan domestic political debate."
1.2 I seriously question the accuracy of the statement that
"top policy makers ... were not aware that such activities
were being conducted." We should not, cannot, endorse a
statement on this central point which is sloppily worded
or implies a degree of unauthorized free-wheeling (by CIA)
which, in fact, never existed.
15 Statement of DIA and INR involvement in SALT, as it stands,
is inaccurate.
17 Last sentence, top para: Point is not that analysts need
to understand operational policy decisions; they need
to know what actions (including statements made in private
channels) the U oGovvernment has taken / is taking - - actions

18 Relationship between DCI's responsibilities for protecting
sources and methods and the classification system (some-
thing quite different) is badly distorted.
23 Historical statement of why the USIB was established not
accurate. It was developed, initially, to protect depart-
mental equities not to assist the DCI. Rephrase - The USIB
currently advises the DCI....
? Y ".,111,11_LL Lee para: problem is more that decisions have been
made by telephone vote than that they have been made by
correspondence.
(Les -- per our 9 Dec telephone conversation, the last
sentence on this page (which refers implicitly to Robert
Kennedy and John Mitchell) is accurate.)
zV What do they mean by reestablishment of the GAO role? Did
the GAO ever previously ave suc a role?
35 Word "officer" should be added at end of 9th line (after
"senior foreign intelligence").
