TO: All NIOs
FROM:
JBJECT:
Attached is a revised version of the KIQs
(largely the work of able pen)
which does two things:
(a) It translates all of our input into
a single, coherent prose document.
(b) It reflects the major tinkering
that some of you wanted to do on your
original submissions.
I would like to go over this document
both substantively and editorially at our
text
session at 1430 on Thursday, hope is that
before you will be on tape and my charming companions -- after our
thorough e iberations -- can run off a final
version for our formal submission to the
Director and to others, including all of the
USIB members, for their review and coordination
prior to submission by the DCI to the NSCIC.

MEMORANDUM FOR: The Director
SUBJECT: Revised Key Intelligence Questions
1. Attached is the second draft of the KIQs. It
reflects three things:
(a) The fine editorial hand of
who has .taken the inchoate lump and made it a
coherent prose document written in the English
language. (In the process, the questions have all
been made questions.)
(b) Your suggestions and marginal comments
which we have tried to incorporate.
(c) Some substantive revisions of a few of
my colleagues based on their discussions with
their Community associates.
2. In such exercises, I am a firm believer in the
adage of less haste and more speed. My colleagues and I
will meet on this draft at 1430 on Thursday, 27 June. By
that time, I hope we will be in receipt of any further
-suggestions you might want incorporated at this stage of
the process. On Friday, 28 June, we will submit formally
to you and to others within the Community our proposed Key
Intelligence Questions for FY 1975. These can then be
properly reviewed and coordinated with an eye to an early
submission of a coordinated set of KIQs by you to the
NSCIC.
3. You can tell the honorable members of USIB that
the draft KIQs will be distributed to them for their review
on Friday, 28 June. I do not want to foreshorten the above
schedule because an extra 48 hours of careful thought at
this stage of the drafting process will save you intolerable
work later.
