MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM:
erector, me igence Community Staff
SUBJECT: Suggested Talking Points on
Foreign Narcotics Intelligence
1. Attached are suggested talking points for your use with the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
2. The talking points demonstrate that significant progress has been
made in the past year. The factors responsible for this progress may be
summarized as follows:
o More precise guidelines have been issued to US
missions abroad; a closer cooperation among Country
Team elements focused on the narcotics problem; and,
as a result, improved Mission reporting.
o Clearer operational direction to the Drug Enforcement
Administration's mission as a result of cross-
rotational assignments with the FBI.
o More effective tactical coordination on operational
matters among various elements of the Intelligence
Community involving liaison between DEA, FBI, NSA,
the Clandestine Services, and Customs.
o Direct impetus to the foreign narcotics collection
effort as a result of the establishment of the White
House Task Force on South Florida.

3. An unresolved issue remains the lack of a senior-level Intelligence
Community mechanism to provide overall direction concerning collection,
dissemination, analysis, and evaluation of narcotics intelligence. If you are
queried on this point you may wish to note that you would hope that such a
body would evolve, inter alia, from current discussions with the Attorney
General regarding the "implementing procedures" of Section 1.7(g) of EO 12333
for the production and dissemination of intelligence resulting from criminal
narcotics intelligence activities abroad.
