5. Proposed Review of Crisis Situations
The Chairman outlined generally a proposal for initiating a
regular review by the IAC as a body at its weekly meetings of dev-
elopments in actual or potential crisis situations (short of hostilities)
anywhere in the world. After discussing with the members the
reasons for, and nature of, his proposal, the Chairman stated that
he would probably circulate a paper on this matter which could then
be considered by the members at an early IAC meeting.

concurred in the view that these should be short papers.
8. NIE 93-57
Probable Developments
in Brazil
a. Approved as amended.
b. Noted the post-mortem on this estimate (see Secretary's
Note 1).

9. SNIE 11-6-57
Soviet Gross Capabilities for
Attack on the US in Mid-1960
Mr. Dulles suggested, and the members concurred, that
there be an initial discussion of, but no final action taken with
respect to SNIE 11-6-57 at this meeting. The members then exchanged
views on various matters relevant to this paper, particularly its re-
lation to the work of the Net Evaluation Subcommittee. During the
course of the discussion, the members agreed that, after publication,
this paper should be reviewed again on or about 1 July, on a staff
level, to determine whether any subsequent developments were of
such significance as to warrant consideration by the IAC of the nec-
essity of modifications in SNIE 11-6-57, which modifications might
then be brought to the attention of the Net Evaluation Subcommittee.
10. Executive Session
At 1150 Mr. Amory, who was then presiding, requested an
executive session, during which the members discussed matters
relevant to SNIE 11-6-57 and considered a special report by Admiral
Frost.

SECRETARY'S' NOTES
1. Because of its brevity, the Secretary, unless requested
to do so by a member, does not propose to reproduce and circulate
separately the post-mortem ors NIE 93-57 as noted by the IAC (see
item 8 b above), which is as follows:
"No serious intelligence deficiencies were noted
in the preparation of this estimate."
4. Unless objection is raised by a member at the next regular
meeting of the IAC, the Secretary proposes to release to USIA
NIE 93-57, "Probable Developments in Brazil," 8 January 1957.
