I am writing to confirm the arrangements for our meeting on 19 May and to
provide you with a better idea of our objectives. I will be accompanied by
I believe it would be helpful if our meeting were to begin with a more
detailed description by us of the Intelligence Community's organization and
the problems that that structure poses for long-range planning. The Community
is a unique entity consisting of a number of relatively autonomous
organizations that are highly dependent on one another. I am enclosing a?'-
brochure that will give some idea of the relationship between the Director of
Central Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the other intelligence
agencies, and the national security structure.
I propose to leave the specific agenda in your hands, as we discussed on
the telephone, but suggest that the following areas are of particular interest
to us:
a. Methodology--I would like to know how you plan at the corporate
level. What are the kinds of issues/assumptions you consider? What
is the process by which they are selected? How are long-range
planning issues addressed? Resolved? How do recommendations find
their way into division budgets?
b. Significant Long-Range Issues--A number of the people who will
accompany me are interested in hearing about the results of your
recent planning meetin .
We are interested in this topic from both a planning and a
su stantive/policy perspective.
