Thank you for your memorandum of 9 May. We are i-ettntni,
r/IEP process as it evolves and working to sharpen the focus
the priority intelligence interests of consumers as well as
.he number of questions.
It is not my intention that the KIO EP process should impact
adversely on departmental, intelligence interests. The reverse
should be the case. I believe we have seen in the 'Yom Kippur war
how departmental assets supported national needs and national
assets supported departmental needs. I would hope that the inteelli-
gence priorities reflected in the KIQe would provide focus to both
these complementary proceasses. Using KIQs as a e agement
tool should thus be beneficial to both national and departmental
even though, of course, they do not cover all requirements.
ear national or departmental.
As you perceive, the question of user satisfaction is integral
to the whole KjQx evaluation process. It is my plan to have the MOs
deal with all senior departmental, as well as national, entities in
work and provide the first cut at evaluation of performance
against the KIQa. Their report will be provided to the U IB for
review and subsequently to the NSCIC.
I very much appreciate the attention you have given to the KID;;/
KE process. Like you, I srn confident we will be able to develop
it into a useful and meaningful management tool for the community.
Sincerely
