the estimate of the strategic importance of Albania in wartime.
Proposal for an Estimate of the
Soviet Civil Defense Capabilities
4. Action: It was agreed that the proposed study should be
considered to be a part of the total estimate of the Soviet Air
Defense capabilities and that this total estimate would be con-
sidered to include (a) active Air defense capabilities, (b) passive
defense measures, and (c) Soviet industrial dispersal and location
of stockpiles. It was further agreed that the capabilities of the
several agencies would not permit a simultaneous attack on all three
parts of this estimate and that the highest priority should be
given to the first of these with work moving forward on the other
two as circumstances permitted.
Intelligence Aspects of A regi
ment with Germany IAC-D
5. Action: It was agreed that there would be established a
subcommittee of the TAC to hold itself alert to intelligence develop-
ments in the implementation of the U. S. contractual relationship
with Germany once it is negotiated and to submit to the IAC recom-
mendations where IAC action is required to further intelligence
interests in Germany. Insofar as intelligence organizational
problems in other countries or in international bodies subcommittee
have a bearing on the contractual relationship, the should consider them and submit recommendations to the IAC if
appropriate.
