to the disposition of Section IV of the draft estimate. After an ex-
change of views on this matter, the members agreed that Section IV

published estimate. It was also agreed to authorize CIA to integrate
with and incorporate in this Annex A the material contained in
Annex A and Annex B of the draft estimate.
b. Agreed to defer action with respect to the post-mortem on
this estimate, and the validity study of NIE 11-6-54 and NIE 11-12-55,
until the next regular IAC meeting.

sentatives of AEC and CIA with respect to sanitization of this
estimate for purposes of release to certain foreign governments.
After discussing this matter the members agreed to review a memo-
randum listing possible deletions in the event of release, which had
been prepared by representatives of AEC and CIA and circulated at
the meeting, and to advise the IAC Secretariat of their concurrence
