Item 4 EXECUTIVE SESSION
The following subjects are scheduled for this executive session:
a. Review of Dissemination of National Intelligence Estimates
At the 28 August meeting you asked each USIB Principal to
examine the necessity for each current recipient of NIEs and SNIEs to continue
on the distribution list. You also asked the Principals to review the practice of
quoting from NIEs in less restricted documents or messages, particularly those
going overseas, and to consider whether there should be a mechanism to develop
ground rules and procedures regarding such quotations.
As you requested, Larry Houston' s memorandum on
this subject is included under Item 4. I have alerted him and Abbot Smith to be
available to attend this discussion unless you desire otherwise.
USIB Agency Members have also been requested by me to
provide advance notification of any specific proposals they plan to make on this
subject, but none have been received to date.
b. Briefing by Carl Duckett
Special briefing by Carl Duckett as authorized by you.
