(SNIE 63. 1-2/1-55)
a. At the request of the Chairman, the Committee reviewed
and approved ae amended, subject to a footnote by the State member,
a memorandum on probable developments in the current Saigon crisis.
This memorandum had been prepared by the Board of National Estimates
at the request of the Chairman.
b. The Committee agreed to issue the approved text as a
special national intelligence estimate, with dissemination limited to
top policy makers and the intelligence community. An advance edition
is to be circulated as soon as possible.
2. Formosa Straits Problem
The Chairman raised informally the question of the frequency
of issue of the reports of the Formosa Straits Problem group. The
Committee concluded that a weekly report, supplemented by special
reports as necessary, would be more in keeping with the current
situation in the Formosa area than is the present daily. The Chairman
undertook to propose this change to the President and the NSC.
