SUBSl:JCT"I Proposed. li.an for Research and Intei11enca Offices
Pursuant to a directive of October lap 1945, from
the Under Secretary, an Intelligence Advisory Board was
established to advias the Special JVssistant for Research
and Intelligence (S -McC) as to (1) which parts of the
former 035 transferred to the Department of State (the
'Interim Research and Intel' i4pence Service,, hereafter
referred to as IRIS) should be retained beyond January 1,
1.946, and (2) which org.,ani7atioras within the prosant
structure of the Department of State engaging in i.n,telli-
,,enoc activities should be transferred to the now intelli-
;ence offices prior to January 3., 1946 , The Special Assist.
ant was further directed to consolidate the IRIS units to
be retained and the othor units of the Depart.eft of State
participating in intelli ?ence activities so that., by
January It 1946, all i.nteliI{;nce activities within the
Department would be %i,nder the juri }diction of the Special
Assistant for Research and Inte111gence
The Advisory Board met on October 19, 1945
After a general discussion of the pruhiom., It was agreed
that the >oard could proceed host; effeet:tvs "_1' by consultations

between individ ka1 members ar?d representatives of the SA--
MeC staff Such consultations have been held from time to
time during the past two months? but the preparation of
detailed recoirm,.endations has been delayed because the SA=
McO staff has been engaged in the preparation of a 1946
Supplemental Budget (necessitated by the Congressional
rescision of $29OOO,,QOO of the former 033 budget,, needed
to carry IRIS to June 300 1946, since restored) and of
the 1947 Budget, as well as in solving the numerous admin-
istrative problems created by the transfer of the former
OSS units to the Department,, At the sug ;estion of General
Nelson, of Mr. Russells s staff, a Committee was formed to
prepare an outline of the planned intelligence organization
for consideration by the Advisory Board., and later to
prepare the necessary Departmental Orders for submission
to Mr.. Russells off'-roe. Tho membership of that can ni.ttee

and experience will narrow but perhaps never fully e.Iiriinate,.
Before attempting :Lurther clarification of this area
let it be said that there can be no conflict between the
pure extremes of intelligence and operations the opo4 a.tin r
officer should no more take four weeks array from his do:,',
for a Job of intensive research than should the inteili~.?enice
officer assume the responsibilities of ',,policy and detailed.
implementation of policy.,
The area in which there may be want of agreement is
the area in which both have an important interest
the area of .information. The question will be to decide
where the informational responsibilities of the intelligence
offices stop and where those of the operating offices begLn?
At present only the broadest sort of allocation of responsi-
bility can be made n The intelligence offices should have
the predominant resp
nslbl.lity for basic research upon the
institutions of fors f g;n c?ouantries, upon situations and e ri.argen v
political and economic issues in fc,r;i gn countries, and upon
the capabilities of forein countries,, The operating offices
should have equal responsibility for the sort of spot informa-
tion which -12 in the files or minds of operating officers

and which is necessa?'y f'o:-^ the acquittal of the hour's
business. ;-low responsibi:l,ity should be fixed for a multitude
of intelligence du-'Gies which are to be found between those
fairly clear bands of function, such as periodic analysis
and reporting on current foreign developments, digesting
information cables and despatches, reference services, etc.,
Is a matter which must be worked out in experience o For
the immediate future, both intelligence and operations
should aim to put their respective limited informational
resources to optimum practical use.
There is no Intention, except in the cases spacifl
cally mentioned below, to absorb into the central intelligence
organization personnel of operating divisions who are currently
engaged, part or full time, in research activities, it is
anticipated, however, that some such personnel will be so
transferred in the future., when, by mutual agreement of the
intelligence staff and the appropriate operating officers,
it is decided that such transfers, on a selective basis,
would improve the quality of the research services Available
to the operating division concerned.

indicating that existing po:Licy should be revised.
a. There would be as tendency for each Office to
request inforri_.tion from its own research staff not be-
cause its answer would necessarily be definitive, but
because it was physically- close at hard. Thus a
staff assigned to one Geographical office would be
subject to requests or matters which are vital to the
business of that office but which, at the same time,
lie beyond the staff's professional competence, and
would either have to call upon the research staff
of another office or to risk an uninformed answorm
Even the most elaborate sort of coordinating_ mechanism
between dispersed research diirisions would have dif-
ficulty coping with this situation,.
4, The necessary integration between research
needs and the program for collecting and maintaining
basic information would be difficult to achieve, since
there would be no direct link between the individual
research divisions and t'.iose responsible for the col-
lection and reference functions

order to achieve applicability and timeliness of the end pro-
duct it is a matter o hir.li importance that the ro],.a. tionvh3..p

That opposite numbers should maintain regular cor:tact is not
enough. It is suggested that key members of the intelligence
staff serve as observers or technical advisers on departmental
and inter-departmental cor:mitteos where their attendance will
put them in intimate touch with the main" lines of the Depart-
ment's business Personnel from the operating units should
serve on committees of the intelligence offices such as a
committee of Division Chiefs which would have supervision over
the work program and the assignment of Priorities and, deadlines.
Through such arrangements the efforts of intelligence may he
directed effectively and the organization of the intelligence
offices shaped to perform with maximum efficiency and harmony.
(b) Collecting information relevant to the prohlet`t.
The primary source of fresh information from the field must
be the reporting actwvities of foreign service officers,
auxiliaries, and attachE s in the foreign missions o The pro-
fessional interest of the intelligence offices in the substance
and quality of such reporting is obvious; without access to

However, the intelligence staff should understand
clearly that the task of drawing policy conclusions from

operating officers find reason to believe that the intelli-

(2) Plan and implement a program of research and

through the preparation of reports, which will be described

in order to improve the relevance, accuracy, and timeliness
of the reporting services; and,, to a lesser extent, for
