Joint Intelligence Committee
Washington 25, D. C.
17 April 1950
MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHAIRMAN, INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY CC +IIT'=:
Subject: Standard Operating Procedure for Preparation
and Dissemination of National Estimates.
1. In order that IAC members might fulfil their individual
and collective responsibilities, and that Intelligence users be
provided with the concerted views of the responsible Intelligence
heads, it is recommended that the following Standard Operating
Procedure be adopted:
a. As a general principle, no drafts of national
estimates shall be circulated, other than to the Intelli-
gence agencies themselves, until finally and definitely
acted upon by the IAC,
b. When a deadline for the distribution of an
estimate is established and IAC agencies have been so
advised, notification of any changes in that deadline
will be transmitted expeditiously to the IAC agencies*
c. In principle and to the extent practicable, the
dissent or comment of an IAC member will be given prominence
equal to that of the basic estimate,
d. The above applies also to estimates or studies
produced by the JAEIC.'
2. It is requested that IAC members be informed of action
being taken by you with respect to the above.
