MEMORANDUM FOR CHAIRMAN, USIB
SUBJECT : Secretariat Summary of USIB Agenda for 11 April
Item 1 Minutes and Associated Paper of 4 April Meeting
Drafts have been circulated by the Exec Sec for USIB approval;
Sponsor -
Item 2 Watch Report
Draft by Watch Committee to be circulated for Board approval;
Sponsor -
Item 3 National Intelligence Survey (NIS) Coverage Plan
NIS Committee recommendation for Board approval;
Sponsor - Mr. Brammell
This paper is responsive to a 1965 USIB directive that the NIS
Committee report annually on this subject. The plan proposed in this year's
report is intended to replace the more limited 2-year production forecast
formerly submitted for Board approval in previous years, and to be more
responsive to basic USIB directives on the NIS Program. Mr.Brammell's
memorandum points out that the proposed plan establishes NIS area priorities
for the General Surveyswhich will continue as the primary unit of NIS coverage
at the same production rate as in previous years. The production rates for
supplementary topical coverage reflect some reductions, while reallocating
more limited capabilities for concentration on more important topics. The
new plan is summarized in more detail in Mr. Brammell's briefing memorandum
for the CIA Member of USIB.
The Chairman of the NIS Committee recommends USIB action
along the following lines:
a. Approve the NIS Coverage Plan as contained in the
attachment as a long-range production planning guide to be
implemented flexibly and reviewed annually.
b. Note that the NIS Committee will discuss in its
Annual Report to USIB any significant changes to the subject
plan.
c. Note that the NIS Committee will submit an
annual production schedule to USIB before the beginning of
each fiscal year.
