MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
FROM : PB/NSC Coordinator
SUBJECT : DCI Pre-Briefs (U)
1. Presidential Briefings. The next Presidential Briefing is
tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, 24 September. We hope to receive
confirmation early next week. The primary candidate for that briefing
is the Arabian Peninsula Security topic that has been discussed with the
DCI and under development for the past few weeks. There may be other
topics the Director will want to cover at tha riefing but none
have been specifically identified as yet. u
2. Subjects of DCI Interest. The Director has indicated that,
even though there is some uncertainty regarding the Presidential Briefing
schedule, he would like to continue to meet to discuss various subjects
of interest both for his own benefit and to screen possible briefing
topics. He has divided the topics of interest into two categories: one
includes those subjects for which he simply wants to meet with concerned
individuals and have a discussion (no papers need be prepared in advance);
the other includes subjects for which he would like to have one- to two-
page thrust outlines prepared--upon his review of these he will indicate
whether he would like to have a session to talk them over. In order to
meet the Director's desire to continue to meet with analysts, etc., we
will attempt to schedule at least one Pre-Brief session with the Director
each week unrelated to specific Presidential Briefing preparations.
Next week there are tentatively scheduled two such periods: on Monday,
15 September, 1430-1600, and Friday, 19 September, 1000-1130 (if there
is to be a Presidential Briefing on 24 September, the 19 September
meeting will most likely be devoted to subjects specifically under
consideration for that Briefing).
a. Topics for discussion only (no thrust outlines)
