responsibilities of the departments and agencies. The summaries do not
include the varying types of qualifying phrases that are to be found in
the full text of these provisions, i.e., "within the limit of their capa-
bilities," etc.

(New Series)
DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTIVE NO. 1/3'
PRIORITY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE OBJECTIVES
(Revised 24 May 1960)
1. Pursuant to NSCID No. 1, paragraph 3, the following list of priority
national intelligence objectives is established as a guide for the coordina-
tion of intelligence collection and production in response to requirements
relating to the formulation and execution of national security policy.
This list replaces that contained in DCID 1/3, 30 September 1958, which
is hereby rescinded.
2. In accordance with the criteria set forth in the Annex, all items in
this listing are deemed to be critical national intelligence factors requir-
ing priority attention and effort. Distinction is made, however, between
three levels of priority within the general priority category. Order of
listing within these three groups is a matter of convenience in presenta-
tion and has no significance with respect to the relative priority of
specific items within the group.
3. Although a given subject may be listed as a matter of priority, not
every bit of information relating to it will be required with equal urgency
and some may be procurable by routine means. It is therefore incum-
bent upon research personnel to exercise discrimination in allocating
analytical resources and in formulating information requirements so as
to accord priority only to those aspects of the listed subject which actually
require a priority research or collection effort. Similarly, if specific
collection and analytic facilities are inadequate to satisfy all the require-
ments levied upon them, a determination of priority in their use will
have to be made, under the general guidance of the PNIO's but in terms
of specific operational capabilities.
4. In order to afford a stable basis for intelligence planning, this direc-
tive is designed to remain valid over an extended period. It will be re-
viewed annually, or on the request of any member of the United States
Intelligence Board. It is recognized that urgent interim requirements
may arise requiring ad hoc treatment.
I This revised Directive is a re-issuance of DCID No. 1/3 of 15 December 1959
(which had superseded DCID No. 1/3, dated 30 September 1958), deleting
references to Annexes B through F, in accordance with the USIB decision of
24 May 1960 to discontinue publication of Annexes other than the Annex on
"Criteria for Determining Priority National Intelligence Objectives."

CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING
PRIORITY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE OBJECTIVES
1. Priority National Intelligence Objectives should be directly related
to the intelligence required in the formulation and execution of national
security policy. They should flow directly from the intelligence mission
as set forth by the NSC and are therefore merely more detailed specifi-
cations of the intelligence required to fulfill that mission. They should
provide the basis for determining appropriate research and collection
requirements.
2. Most of the intelligence required in the formulation and execution
of national security policy will be the product of normal intelligence
collection and research. Priority National Intelligence Objectives should
be limited to those critical factors which require special attention and
effort.
3. In order to afford a stable basis for intelligence planning, a state-
ment of Priority National Intelligence Objectives should be designed to
remain valid over an extended period. It should therefore exclude topics
of urgent, but transitory, interest, which will require and receive ad hoc
treatment in any case.
4. Broad generalities are of little practical use as priority guidance to
collection and research. Priority National Intelligence Objectives should
therefore be specific enough to provide guidance for planning the alloca-
tion of collection and research resources, but not so specific as to con-
stitute in themselves research and collection requirements.
5. Although all items in a statement of Priority National Intelligence
Objectives should be worthy of special attention, it is obvious that some
will be of greater urgency or importance than others. Any listing of
such objectives must be based on an analysis of the world situation and
US security interests and should be reviewed annually.
The following criteria will serve as guidance for determining the relative
importance of Priority National Intelligence Objectives:
1. First Category: those which will permit the US (a) to antici-
pate and counter those policies or actions of foreign states which
would occasion gravest consequences to the US; and (b) to
stimulate policies or actions of foreign states (or actions within
them) which could occasion greatest benefit to the US.
II. Second Category: those which will permit the US (a) to antici-
pate and counter those policies or actions of foreign states which
would have serious consequences for the US; and (b) to stim-

ulate policies or actions of foreign states (or actions within
them) which could occasion great benefit to the US.
III. Third Category : those which will permit the US (a) to antici-
pate and counter those policies or actions of foreign states which
would have harmful consequences to the US; and (b) to stim-
ulate policies or actions of foreign states (or actions within
them) which could occasion substantial benefits to the US.

Guidance and Support to Certain
Aspects of Space Surveillance
Program and Project SENTRY
After discussion the Board approved the proposed actions set forth in
USIB-D-33.6/3, 27 March, subject to certain amendments distributed at
the meeting. The Board concurred in the Chairman's nomination of
Colonel Macia of the Air Force to serve as chairman of both the Space
Surveillance Intelligence Support Committee and the Satellite Requirements
Committee established by the Board action. The members also agreed
with the Chairman's suggestion that these actions be recognized as only
tentative approaches to the important intelligence questions which exist
or will arise in these fields and that these problems should be kept under
close and continuing review by the Board. In this connection, the members
agreed that the two new committees should be instructed to study pertinent
questions and, after an appropriate interval, make recommendations with
respect to the Board's future approach to intelligence problems in these
fields, including questions such as the nature of the subcommittee or other
mechanism (e.g., whether existing committees, a combination of existing
committees or a single new committee) which ihould furnish the primary
staff support to the Board, and the general allocation within the intelligence
community of responsibilities for future work in this field.
During the course of this discussion the Chairman advised the members
of the substance of a letter from. Mr. Glennan of NASA, bearing on the
question of mutual support between the intelligence community and that
Agency.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Members of the U.S. Intelligence Board
SUBJECT . Intelligence Board Guidance and Support to Operational
and to R&D Aspects of the Space Surveillance Program and
the U.S. Reconnaissance Satellite Program.
1. In accordance with informal expressions of the views of various
interested members of the intelligence community n conversations pursuant
to last Tuesday's Board discussion, General Truscott's Office recommends
that the Intelligence Board take the following actions:
a. Establish a Space Surveillance Intelligence Support
Committee of the U.S. Intelligence Board which would have
the over-all mission of facilitating development and utiliza-
tion of a national space surveillance system against foreign
space vehicles, including SPACE TRACK, for the maximum benefit
of the U.S. intelligence community. This Committee would be
intended to meet the needs described in General Walsh's memo-
randum of 19 March, and specifically to discharge appropriate
Board and community responsibilities (not already otherwise
assigned) in connection with the further handling of substantive
intelligence requirements established under regular Board
procedures, and the utilization of data.
b. It is further recommended that the Board utilize the
existing Ad Hoc Satellite Requirements Committee (established
at Air Force invitation 25 April 1958) and re-establish it as
the regular Satellite Requirements Committee of the Intelligence
Board for providing intelligence guidance and support to U.S.
reconnaissance satellite programs, including Project SENTRY --
specifically for discharging appropriate Board and community
responsibilities (not already otherwise assigned) in connection
with the further handling of substantive intelligence requirements
established under regular Board procedures, and the utilization. of
data.

c. It is further recommended that membership on both of
the above Committees should be extended to any interested Board
members, not now participating, who wish to be so represented.
Arrangements should be authorized for participation by other
appropriate offices in the U.S. Government on the invitation
of the Chairman. Provision for ARPA participation in Committee
discussions, when considered. appropriate, should be arranged.
through and under the auspices of General Erskine's office.
An appropriate Chairman for each Committee should be designated
by the DCI in consultation with and with the concurrence of
the Intelligence Board. More detailed terms of reference are
not considered necessary or desirable at this time.
2. The above Board actions would provide important continuity in
the intelligence community's present support to Projects SPACE TRACK
and SENTRY; and would not preclude or prejudice any different or addi-
tional arrangements which the Board might wish to undertake at a later
date. It is believed such actions (a, b, and c, above) would complete
the Board decisions required at this time on General Erskine's letter
of 5 March and on Mr. Quarles' earlier letter of 19 February. The Board
would accordingly refer recommendations c. of General Erskine's letter to
the new Space Surveillance Intelligence Support Committee for its consi-
deration, and refer recommendation b. to GMAIC for appropriate actions
under its stated responsibility (under paragraph 1+.b. of DCID 3/4) to...
"review the scope and effectiveness of collection and production efforts
to meet these objectives, and to make the necessary substantive
recommendations to the departments and agencies concerned."
3. It is requested that this paper be placed on the agenda for
31 March for Board consideration.

Terms of Reference
Ad Hoc Group for ELINT (AGE)
The AGE Committee was established by the acceptance of the military
members of USIB of CIA's invitation of 9 September 1959, signed by
Richard M. Bissell, Jr., (DD/P) from which the following is extracted:
SUBJECT: ELINT Requirements Requiring Sensitive Collection
1. The National Security Agency, with the concurrence of the ELINT
Committee (a subcommittee of the USIB), has indicated its preference for
turning over to CIA for collection action those priority ELINT requirements
of the community which cannot be satisfied by assets subject to the
direction of NSA.
2. It is the belief of CIA that this is proper procedure. However,
in order to insure the maximum use of existing assets, the requirements
received by CIA from NSA should be screened against US agencies ELINT
collection capabilities of a sensitive or clandestine nature. Where none
exist it may be necessary for CIA to proceed with the development of new
equipment or operations.
3. As a means of accomplishing the foregoing, I am requesting
to meet with your representatives from time to time on
an informal basis. He has already done so on a problem bearing on Glau.
This group, for lack of a better name, I suggest be called the Ad Hoc
Group for ELINT (AGE). Unless you perceive some objection to this, may I
invite you to name a representative with whom I~ may be in touch
on these matters.
4+. I am very hopeful that by working closely together on these
ELINT problems we can avoid wasteful efforts and, what is more important,
actually obtain better collection against priority targets.
