Conflict Between NIE 40 and
Se :4ions of -rhe NIS I4C-D-l3/3)
5. Action: It was agreed that NIE 40 should be pushed to comple-
tion even though certain sections of NIS would thereby be retarded.
. Discussion: The competition of work on NIE i0 with the
certain sections of the NIS schedule was recognized to be more cri-
ti.ca-1 as a result of a five percent personnel reduction across the
board in the service intelligence agencies. Some relief' in this
problem was afforded by cutting to a minimum the terms of reference
of NIE 40 and by the understanding that the Service Agencies might,
where necessary, produce rough estimates of Satellite capabilities
on the basis of existing research. This competition for limited. re-
sources in the economic field may be expected. to continue and even
to increase.
7. General Smith suggested, with respect to the five percent
personnel reduction in the Service Agencies, that every effort should
be made to retain within the intelligence community, qualified. personnel
who might; be, released under the cut. This might be done either by
CIA. and the Department of State hiring 'them or perhaps by somehow
assisting the service intelligence agencies to continue to have the
benefit of the services of such personnel.
