MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (COMHUNICATIONS,

SUBJECT: Request for Intelligence Community Staff survey of manpower

(TSCW) Interpretation Center
(NPIC), requested a 25X1

Secretary of Defter se ( III te: i 1 1 gci-'ice) (A,S1) (I)) . aiih i it,! '!l tl }r, at the
request of ASD(I) , en ad hoc panel , chaff ecu by Dr i g Rurrule y of
the Intel iiclcilce CI.w.-IUnIty )ta-!'f, waas crcaatea to .,.(Jj-iine t.liis resource
issue. Although the panel did not coieplete a report, it did recommend
to the Director of C- l cral Intel i i ,iethat CC! I ", the Di t ector
of NPIC, and appropri ate el ei?~cnts of the Into'! l i gence Community Ste,
should be charged to determine ',whether any basis exists for increasiil
the present levels of photo interpreter manpower and, if such basis
does exist, develop a comprehensive, Coll?I';(.lni i;y' Uric'n'tt d proposal to
be used by the DCI and the Committee on Foreign Intel l i g~ence."
(TSCW) Meanwhile, on 5 July 1977, the Director, NPIC, in a meniara idum
to DIA and CIA, requested a separate, temporary augrlleiltation of the
Center oilimeegar'y analysts, mostly f_~r the I1-period September through
(C) The resources in both cases could only be made available at the
expense of other DIA activities in upliort of i1C.D dial other CU11:.umers
of DIA products. Further, the nlorlttis irtdicettcd in the i,1.-IC nl~li', r'e;;ialaln
also will be a peak workload period for DIA imagery analysts in the
satisfaction of DoD requirements. This is therefore a zero sum game
in which the anticipated NPIC requirements can be met only by DIA
failure to meet other requirements of equal priority and need.
