EMORANDUM FOR: Members of the NSCIC Working Group
Agenda for a 29 January Meeting
1. It is proposed that the next meeting of the NSCIC
Working Group be held at 1030 hours on Wednesday, 2.9 January
1975 in the White House Situation Room.
2. The agenda will be as follows:
a. Briefing on the National Intelligence Officers
Mr. George Carver, Deputy to the DCI for
National Intelligence Officers, will discuss the
functioning of the NIO system.
The 11 NIOs are personal representatives of the
DCI for liaison with senior intelligence users and to
ensure the production of national intelligence which is
responsive to the needs of consumers. Each NIO has
responsibility for a specific geographic area or topical
subject, such as Economics and Energy. Appointment of
the NIOs followed dissolution of the, former Board of
National Estimates.
Several Working Group members have suggested
that background briefings related to the mission of the
NSCIC would be of value. Mr. Carver's briefing will be
the first of such presentations. It is proposed that
the Working Group be provided an information briefing
at the start of each of the next several meetings.

c. Substantive objectives for the DCI'a
Objectives for the Intelligence ommunity
'for PY-19
Attached is a list of the five substantive
objectives contained in the DCI's 'Objectives for the
Intelligence Community for FY-19711.' These five, plus
four management objectives, are the total list of
objectives for the current year.
The PY-1975 substantive objectives were the
basis for the 69 Key Intelligence Questions for FY-
1975.
Each Working Group member is requested to bring
to the meeting his proposals for substantive objectives
for FY-1976. Each member should propose no more than
five objectives, which would represent his views as to
those matters on which high quality intelligence inputs
are expected to be required in FY-1976 on matters of
the greatest policy import.
It is proposed that the Working Group agree on
a listing of five substantive objectives which can be
submitted to the MSCIC for approval and forwarding to
the DCI.
d. The Omnibus NSCID
An omnibus National Security Council Intelligence
Directive (NSCID) which codifies, at the Secret level,
the eight existing NSCIDs and includes coverage of
several matters not now dealt with in any NSCID, such
as the Defense Intelligence Agency and national recon-
naissance activities, has been prepared under the
auspices of the DCI.
At its meeting of 23 August 1974, the NSCIC
approved the concept of an omnibus NSCID and directed
that a USIB-coordinated NSCID be submitted to the NSCIC
Working Group for development of a recommendation to
the NSCIC.

 Approved For Release 2001/08/14 : 4B00506R000100050063-1
The draft omnibus NSCID was considered by the
USIB on 5 December 1974 and the then-outstanding
issues were settled except for a reservation taken by
DIA pending drafting of further inputs on Defense
intelligence organizations which it intended to submit.
The DIA proposals have been forwarded to the DCI and
are being reviewed. The timing of USIB consideration
of the DIA proposed changes and additions is still
uncertain, but since the USSR--coordinated document is
to be referred to the Working Group, it is considered
timely to acquaint the Group with the document.
Accordingly, it is proposed that a brief
discussion be held on 29 January concerning the document,
its genesis, its purpose, its contents and any issues
considered pertinent to the development of a Working
Group recommendation.
