POLICY FOR NATIONAL INTELLIGEPTCE
1. In the initial stages of centralizing intelligence activities
of common interest to State, War and Navy, it is necessary that a long-
rnge intelligence plan be stated. This matter should be made the subject
of an early NIA directive, but the desired policy should be resolved im-
mediately -- as a basis for planning and operating on the working level.
The, following general policy, therefore., should serve as a guide to all
concerned:
a. General. The overall national requirements for foreign
intelligence will be planned for and established by the Central
Intelligence Group, in consultation with other interested depart-
ments of the U. S. Government. Departmental Intelligence will be
reviewed, integrated, evaluated, and the final high-level intelli-
gence product disseminated to the Government as a whole, under
policies recommended by the Director of Central Intelligences through
the NIA to the President.
b. Collection of Intelligence. The various agencies to con-
tinue the operation of their existing collection means., except that
CIG will:
(1) Execute all federal espionage and counter-espionage
operations for the collection of foreign intelligence.
(2) Conduct all federal monitoring of press and propaganda
broadcasts of foreign powers.
(3) As soon as practicable, assume direct supervision of
existing special intelligence collecting means.
c. Research and Analysis of Information.
(1) The various agencies will devote their research and
analysis of information in the field of primary interest to
the activities
of their departments, e.g.:
STATE -- Political
WAR -- Military
Navy --- Naval 63 Efull

Policy for National Intelligence Production
(2) CIG will conduct research and analysis of informa-
tion and intelligence which is of common interest to more
than one department of the Government, i.e., geo-political,
economic, scientific, biographical, psychological, socio-
logical, etc. The intelligence product of the several
departments of the Government will be reviewed, integrated,
evaluated and the high-level intelligence product disseminated
throughout the Government where required for the national
security of the United States.
d. Distribution of Information and Dissemination of
Intelligence.
(1) All agencies will arrange for timely distribution of
raw information to CIG and to the governmental department
having primary interest therein. Likewise CIG will forward
raw information collected, which r elates to the political,
military and naval fields of endeavor, to the governmental
agency primarily responsible.
(2) All agencies will disseminate automatically the finished
intelligence product of their departments, and the spot intel-
ligence within their purview, to CIG. After review, integra-
tion, and evaluation, the overall strategic and national
policy intelligence relating to the national security will
be disseminated to all using agencies of the Government hav-
ing primary interest therein.
2. All intelligence activities must be directed toward assuring
that the Director of Central Intelligence is provided with the means to
carry out his responsibility under the,,. President's Ececutive Order, which
is -- "the correlation, evaluation and dissemination of strategic and
national policy intelligence relating to the national security".
