28 June 1955)
a. The program was approved as amended.
b. Mr. Armstrong noted the requirement of the Department
of State for a reappraisal of Soviet motivations and intentions in
the light of the Geneva meeting of the chiefs of state. The Committee
agreed to schedule the estimate tentatively subject to a review of
developments at the Summit conference.
c. Mr. Kent noted the several comments of the NSC staff on
the program. The program will be modified accordingly.
d. With reference to intelligence support to the President and
to the Department of State prior to or during the Geneva conference,
Mr. Armstrong assured the Committee that policy-makers were aware
of the contribution which the IAC could make. Arrangements exist
enabling the delegation to communicate expeditiously to the JAC any
requirements the delegation may have during the conference.
e. The Chairman noted that his comments on NSC 5524
together with the views of the members on these comments would be
sent to the Special Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs.

convey the views of any member regarding the Geneva meeting to
the National Security Council at its Thursday meeting.

8. Proposed DCID 3/6:
Establishment of a
Guided Missile
Intelligence Committee
(IAC-D-81/9, 31 May 1955;
IAC-D-81 / 1 O, 6 July 1955;
IAC-D-81 / 11, 8 July 1955)
a. Mr. Weber noted the highlights of the SEC report to the
IAC, pointing out that a majority of the SEC approved the recom -
mendations contained:therain.
b. The Navy, Army, and Joint Staff members were in agree-
ment that the report was based on too broad a concept of coordination
of the field of guided missile intelligence, and were of the opinion
that only coordination of the scientific and technical phases of guided
missile intelligence should be undertaken by the SEC.
c. General Samford suggested that the SEC together with the
EIC, or possibly a special group designated by the IAC, undertake
a survey of the scope and adequacy of the present efforts in the
guided missile intelligence field, and report their findings and recom-
mendations to the IAC. The members could on the basis of the
survey then decide what was required in the way of coordination.
d. Mr. Amory stated that this survey would have to be the
initial job of the proposed Guided Missile Committee, and suggested
reconsideration of the basic provisions of the existing draft
(IAC-D-81/9).
e. The Chairman called for a new draft which would make
specific provision for a fact-finding survey to be made by an ad hoc
committee. He stated that the committee should report to the IAC
at any time it discovered situations requiring urgent IAC attention
and should, at the end of three months, submit a comprehensive
report on the state of guided missile intelligence together with recom-
mendations as to IAC action. The members agreed to this proposal
and agreed to nominate representatives to serve on the committee.
