MEMORANDUM FOR THE DDCI
SUBJECT: Air Force Request for Release of NIE 11-5-59
to RAND
1. This Air Force request should be checked carefully as it probably
will set a precedent for handling such requests in the future.
2. One possibility would be the approach used in the attached draft
Secretary's Note to last Tuesday's Board meeting. The other alternative
would be to treat the "originating agency" of NIE's and SNIE's as the
DCI or CIA. This could be done on the argument that these were papers
basically "produced" by the DC.I, in which the other USIB members
concurred. Administratively it would be simpler for the requests for
release to go only to CIA (e. g., OCR, O/NE or higher authority.
Also it would eliminate the problem of CIA theoretically having to get
USIB approval to pass any estimates to its contractors or, perhaps,
"consultants" (if they are deemed to be "contractors" within the
meaning of the policy paper.
3. Please indicate your preference.

SECRETARY#S NOTES
2. The Air Force has requested that NIE 11-5-59, "Soviet
Capabilities in Guided Missiles and Space Vehicles, " be released to
the RAND Corporation. It has also certified to RAND"s need-to-know
for this estimate, to be used in connection with certain long-range
research studies RAND is conducting under an Air Force contract.
Under the USI$-approved policy on release of intelligence to contractors
of USIB organizations, NIE's and SNIE's will not be released to such
contractors without the permission of the "originating agencyl (Attachment
B to USIB-D-39. 5/2, 10 November, para. 3 j (4)). Inasmuch as this
request involves a document produced by the DCI with the concurrence
of the members of USIB, it appears appropriate to obtain Board clear-
ance for this release. Accordingly, any member who objects or wishes
to discuss this matter is requested to do so at the USIB meeting on 2
February. In the absence of such objection or request for discussion
we will consider the Board has approved this release as of that date.

Remarks: Gen. Cabell
1. As you were tied up Friday I didn't attempt to
pursue this matter with you then and consequently
did not add the Secretary's Note to the minutes of
the 26 Jane meeting.
2. If you prefer the approach in the Secretary's
Note we could add it to the minutes of the tf.Feb.
meeting, giving a 9 Feb. cut-off date. If you pref
the other alternative I assume it would be handled
orally with the Air Force alone.
3. Mr. Amory indicated that he preferred the
latter alternative--treating them asCTA
papers. Clearance for release would be from Mr.
Borel or from the DD /I if you desired
