THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
DCI/IC 74-0964
Office of the Director
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, National Security . Council Intelligence
Committee
SUBJECT : Membership of the NSCIC Working Group
1. Since the mission of the NSCIC is to "give direction and
guidance on national substantive intelligence needs and provide for
a continuing evaluation of intelligence products.from the viewpoint of
the consumer," I propose that you approve a reorganization of the
NSCIC Working Group which will limit its .membership to "users,"
other than myself as the DCI representative.
2. From its initial organization, the Working Group has included
almost as many intelligence producers as users, and the heads of the
production offices have tended to dominate the discussion at Working
Group sessions. The State Department representation has included both
a member of the Planning and Coordination Staff and the Director, INR.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been represented both
by the J-3, JCS. and the Director, DIA. The DCI representatives, in
addition to me, have included the Deputy Director for Intelligence,
the Deputy Director for Science and Technology, and the Director,
Office of National Estimates (since abolished).
3. 1 suggest that you approve a restructuring of the Working
Group to limit its.membership to one, or at most two representatives
of each NSCIC principal, with each such. representative to come from
an office which. uses rather, than produces intelligence.
4. I recognize. that some matters which come before the Working
Group will require inputs.from the Intelligence Community. In such
cases it will be my responsibility as the Working Group Chairman to
obtain the necessary inputs, either from the USIB or from an ad hoc
committee (which. I would head) representing the producers of iritpit;-
gence.
