SUBJECT : Status Report on PRC(I) Concurrence in NITS
1. Sam Hoskinson relayed to me by phone today the DISC Staff's
concurrence in the intelligence priority lists as transmitted under.
the DCI's memo of 1 May. He checked with.:David Aaron and reported
that we could regard Dr. Brzezinski as having concurred on record."

personally.

dent is necessary, since he has not been directly involved in this
project. If it is, I assume the DCI may want to do any prompting
