GUIDED MISSILE AND ASTRONAUTICS INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
5 May 1960
MEMORANDUM FOR : Chairman, United States Intelligence Board
1. Pursuant to its terms of reference, the majority of GMAIC
requests that the. Board approve the establishment of the. following
Subcommittees of GMAIC:
a. Deployment (Training and Sites)
b. Production
c. Technical (Characteristics, etc. )
These committees. will work under the direction. of GMAIC.
2. The Army member considers it unnecessary and highly un-
desirable to create a permanent organizational substructure of subcom-
mittees under GMAIC. Deployment and production working groups of a
semi-permanent nature do appear desirable as a result of the recent
clarification of GMAIC responsibilities in.these areas. The functions
of such sub-groups should not require a. major portion of the full working
time of the individual members but should concentrate on the exchange
of new evidence and preliminary analyses.
3. The Navy member. believes that. the present GMAIC structure
is adequate to perform the tasks assigned by the. USIB. He believes that
ad hoc working groups convened by GMAIC, as appropriate, are more
desirable than permanent subcommittees for providing the. requisite
support in the areas listed.
