NSC REVIEWED DOCUMENT AND HAS NO OBJECTION TO DECLASSIFICATION.
9/19/07
In accordance with my obligation to provide the Psychological
strategy Board with continuous review of the development and progress
of PSB approved plans, I am attaching for your information and nota-
tion the second report to me from the Chairman of the 25X1
Coordinating Committee.
The Committee has now been in existence six months, during which
time it has been breaking ground in an area of activity completely
novel in our governmentTs history of foreign relations. Accordingly,
it has moved slowly. The corranittee members have cautiously felt their
way forward while the Embassies have been explorir.~g their responsibilities
in this matter.
Qur experience has shown that the reduction of communist strength
and influence in must be regarded as the primary re- 25X1

Ambassadors with the Washington committee keeping a continuous watch on

Now that the initial organizational phase of coordinating the im-

activities the committee expects to move cautiously and in a manner

which will not interfere with the basic responsibilities of tY~e
two ~fmbassadors.
In reviewing progress since its first report, I feel that
the Washington committee has proved its usefulness and should
continue to provide the same high order of interdepartmental co-
operation in this project which, the chairman of the committee
informs me, has chaxacterized its work to date.
