AUGUST 4, 1977
STATEMENT FROM OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
CONCERNING PRESIDENTIAL DECISIONS ON REORGANIZING THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
Following consultations with the Vice President, his principal national
security advisors, and Congressional leaders, the President has completed his
review of the NSC studies on the organization and functions of the Intelligence
Community.
The President's decisions provide for needed changes while retaining the
basic structural continuity of the intelligence community.
The purpose of these changes is to provide for strong direction by the
President and the National Security Council, and to centralize the most critical
national intelligence management functions under the Director of Central Intel-
ligence (DCI) -- tasking, resources, and national analytic production. Left
unchanged are operational and support activities as they are performed adequately
today.
This organizational arrangement builds on the experience of the past by
strengthening the role of the NSC system and the DCI. At the same time, it
assures responsiveness to both the intelligence requirements of major national-
level consumers-of intelligence and the operational needs of the departments and
military services.
For-the first time, the major consumers of intelligence will be
charged with the formal responsibility for formulating their
requirements for substantive intelligence. Thus the real
requirements of the policy making level rather than technology
or ability to collect will drive the entire intelligence process.
The DCI will also have the ability to respond to these require-
ments through his full control of:
1. A new mechanism for setting specific tasks for all
intelligence collection organizations, the National
Intelligence Tasking Center.
2. His mandate to manage the budgets for all predominately
national intelligence activities.
3. His sole responsibility for the production of national
analytical products.

Placing full responsibility for the most critical management
functions in one authority should result in more productive
and cost effective foreign intelligence activities.
-- The National Security Council will continue to play the
leading role in overall direction of the Intelligence Community.
The NSC Special Coordination Committee will continue to assume
responsibility for review of the most sensitive intelligence
operations and collection activities. The new Policy Review
Committee when chaired by the DCI will provide the direction
to both the collection and analytical production effort that
was missing in the past.
-- The recently strengthened Intelligence Oversight Board will
continue to assist the President in investigating possible
illegal or otherwise improper activities within the Intelligence
Community and assuring that appropriate corrective actions are
taken.
Here are the specifics of the reorganization:
1. The National Security Council should continue to provide
guidance and direction for the development and formulation
of all national intelligence activities. The NSC Policy
Review Committee, chaired by the Director of Central
Intelligence, will define and assign priority for substan-
tive intelligence requirements and will evaluate the production
of analytical intelligence reporting. The PRC will submit
semi-annual reports to the NSC on its activities. Its
membership will include the Secretary of State, Secretary
of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury, the Assistant. to the
President for National Security Affairs and other attendees
as deemed appropriate by the Chairman.
2. The Director of Central Intelligence will have peacetime
responsibility and authority for translating PRC-validated
national intelligence requirements developed by the PRC
into specific intelligence collection objectives and targets
for assigning these to intelligence collection organizations.
For these purposes a National Intelligence Tasking Center,
jointly manned by civilian and military personnel, will be
established under the direction of the DCI to assign tasks
to all national intelligence collection systems. The Tasking
Center will also be responsible for ensuring that the resulting
flow of intelligence is routed immediately to relevant components
and commands. In periods of crisis or in wartime the power to
assign collection tasks may be delegated to the Secretary of
Defense upon the express direction of the President.

3. The'Director of Central Intelligence should have full and
exclusive authority for ap roval of the National Foreign
Intelligence Program (NFIP) budget prior to its presentation
(through ususal procedures) to the President, for its
presentation to Congress, for reprogramming of NFIP funds
and monitoring the implementation of programs. In response
to the DCI's guidance, the departments and agencies of the
NFIP will submit their proposed national program budgets to
the DCI and assure that the DCI has all information necessary
to perform his budgetary responsibilities. The National
Foreign Intelligence Board will advise the DCI on all of his
budgetary responsibilities in the same manner as it does.on
national intelligence production and other activities of
common concern. Department heads will retain the right to
appeal the DCI's budget decisions to the President. The
Director of Central Intelligence will be provided with adequate
staff support to ensure his full access to relevant information.
and the capability to carry out audits and evaluations of -
intelligence programs.
4. The Director of Central Intelligence will continue to act
as the primary advisor to the National Security Council and the
President on substantive foreign intelligence and to have full,
responsibility for production of national intelligence in
appropriate consultation with departmental analytical centers.
He will retain all other powers provided to him under relevant
statutes and executive orders.
5:' Apart from the foregoiirg,line authority will remain with the
heads of the relevant departments and agencies. All other
organizational and operational arrangements and responsibilities
assigned under existing statutes and executive orders shall
remain in full effect. Personnel and administration, management
and support activities, operational implementation of DCI tasking,
and audit/inspector general functions will remain as presently
assigned under departmental arrangements.
These decisions will be embodied in a new Executive Order for the-
Intelligence Community as an interim measure until appropriate charter
legislation can be introduced and enacted by Congress.
