NOTE FOR: DCI and DDCI
SUBJECT: Surveying Consumers of Intelligence
1. Walt Raymond informed me that some thought has been
given in the NSC Staff to Bud McFarlane chairing or organizing
an effort to evaluate consumer reactions to intelligence
production. It was not clear in Walt's mind what exactly
was being. considered, but wanted to forwarn us that McFarlane
may raise this issue.
2. In discussing this possibility with Dick Kerr, there
may in fact be something useful that an NSC lead group might
contribute to improving the consumer producer dialogue
and the effectiveness or our efforts. In view of the
activities'of the IPC through the NITs exercise and the DDI's
efforts to canvass the assistant secretary and deputy assistant
secretary levels, Dick thought it might be wise for either he
or Bob Gates to chat with McFarlane before he launches a new
effort along these lines.
3. I recommend, therefore, that at this juncture you
merely listen to what McFarlane has to say.
