MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHAIRMAN, INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY STAFF
2 0 AUG 1975
SUBJECT: Background Materials for New Chairman of the NSCIC
Working Group
1. This responds to your request for comments contained in your
memorandum IC 75-2454 of 30 July 1975.
2. It is my opinion that the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the NSCIC
Working Group should empower the Chairman, with the approval of the
members, to establish ad hoc subcommittees/panels as required to sup-
port specific functions of the Working Group. This would obviate the
revision of the TOR each time a subcommittee/panel is established or
dissolved.
:3. I propose that paragraph 4.c of the proposed TOR (concerning the
Intelligence Panel) contain the clause "to advise the Working Group
as required" vice "to provide intelligence support to the efforts of
the Working Group".
4. I share your opinion concerning Mr. Morell's proposal that the
NSCIC Working Group should"make recommendations for improvements in
'intelligence structure and organization". In the present atmosphere,
it would be unwise to have the Working Group engage in activities
beyond those authorized the NSCIC in NSCID No. 1.
