PROPOSED ABOLITION
OF THE STANDING COIti1MITTE OF THE IAC
1. The Standing Committee of the IAC was established by
. DOID 1/1 on March 1918 " to assist the IAC in the performance of
its functions." A need existed then and still continues for
extensive coordination and contact among the IAC agencies. The
means for accomplishing this, however, have developed and im-
proved in three years and it is now felt that a formal Standing
Committee is no longer required.
2. Various offices of CIA have their own dealings with
other agencies and a number of regular and. ad hoc committees
have been set up for specialized problems. For example, National
Estimates, Scientific Intelligence and the Watch Committee func-
tions are handled by direct means without reference to the
Standing Committee
3. Other matters which might originally have been handled
formally in a meeting of the Standing Committee are now usually
taken up on an individual basis with the agency representatives.
On occasion natters may arise which one of the agencies wishes
to discuss with some or all of the others collectively. In such
cases an ad hoc meeting can easily be called of the appropriate
people from each agency.
4. It is recommended that the Standing Committee of the
TAC be abolished by the deletion of paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of
DCID 1/1. This proposal has the approval of all members of the
Standing Committee.
