MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN MCMAHON
Acting Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: CIA Analytical Production Schedule (C)
At your request, I have taken a poll of the NSC staffers concerning
the projected production list that you provided me a few days ago.
I am forwarding to you the results and hope that this reaction
list may be helpful to you. I would assume that you would seek a
similar type of reaction from the Department of State. The
first reactions are very positive. The staffers expressed
concern about the timing of a number of the items and had several
useful suggestions for new topics to cover. (S)
New Subjects.
A. Mexico. A long-range analysis of Mexico and projected
future developments. PFIAB is looking into this subject
and the President is interested.
B. Several SNIEs/IIMs were suggested on subjects dealing
with our allies:
-- GLCM/P II Decision: Will the Europeans See It
Through?
-- Western European Policies/Intentions Toward the
United States.
C. Short-Term Prospects for Sino/Soviet Relations.
D. Soviet Drive for Ports and Airfields in Africa.
(Strategic need, psychological need, great power
syndrome? Identify crucial targets the Soviets might
be after and what they might commit to get them?)
E. Future of the World Trading System: The GATT
Ministerial. A GATT ministerial meets in November
and this paper would need to be available by October
1982.
F. Western Sahara: Prospect for Resolution.

G. Lebanon. There are several proposals suggested for
this subject, including: "A Neutral Lebanon:
Possibilities and Prospects" and "Effects of Crises
in Lebanon on US Arms Sales."
H. Soviet Nuclear Weapons Design.
-- Fresh approach needed to increase our knowledge
of Soviet design, Soviet level of knowledge of
their weapons capabilities. (S)
Specific comment was directed to timing of the following research
projects:
A. IIM on Soviet Ballistic Defense. Required for fall
ABM treaty review process.
B. IIM on Caribbean Prospects for Stability. Speed up
needed.
C. IIM on Mexican Policies Toward Central America. Speed
up needed.
D. US Capabilities to Monitor Limitations on Strategic
Offensive Forces (NIE 4/11-82). Must be completed as
scheduled or usefulness will drop considerably.
E. Soviet Approach to Arms Control. Must meet publication
schedule or be sped up if possible.
F. The Philippines Under Marcos. Visit is mid-September.
Paper must be produced as soon as possible.
G. Evolution of ASEAN. NSSD action begins in September
and UN vote on Kampuchea due this fall. Request
accelerated production schedule.
H. Indonesia's Unclear Future. In light of Suharto visit
in October, request this item be accelerated.
I. Implications of Vietnam's Domination of Indochina.
NSSD on SEA plus September UN vote on this issue argues
for accelerated production schedule. (S)
