MEMORANDUM FOR: Herbert E. Meyer
Vice Chairman, National Intelligence Council
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Estimate Schedule
1. On this estimate schedule--the Chinese Nuclear estimate looked quite
finished to me, and I wonder whether we can't get that in on 14 or 21 June.
I went over the project monitoring reports carefully. I'd like to see the
Andropov draft if it is available. I could read it on my trip
leaving at noon on Monday.
2. I was shocked to see listed as not yet
started since we have been talking about it for more than half a year.
3. I would like to see this information in another format. -There would
be a table listing the estimates, and for each estimate in separate columns
Item 1, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6, Item 8, and Item 10. You will see that what
I want is to be able to look down and see how long it takes to move the
projects through each successive step, how they lag and why they lag, and
how this varies with the complexity of the subject. Also, the drafter
should be indicated for each.
4. I don't understand why it sometimes has taken three months to get
a TOR coordinated, as it did with the ASEAN estimate, nor do I understand
how it takes over three months to get an estimate like the Colombian Drug
Trade drafted and up to the NFIB. We need to maintain a closer watch on
how these things progress and how having a scorecard available will help
accomplish that.
