gence support necessary for matters within the scope of the 1,4Titaty
Committee and the ma-or commands, and in irrangements for warn .ng t
enemy attack. In the instances where the requirements for ?nil tare
matters transcend strictly military intelligence, the current Land LiIil

not been raised. This Office will explore with the State Depa?tme.t
