1. Action: The Minutes of 11 August 1953 (IAC-M-116) were
approved.
Proposed Release
3. Discussion: General Samford indicated his concern at the
inadequacy of present guides as to when or when not to release.
Mr. Armstrong stated that a proposal to release an estimate is
tested, in the Department of State, by both those concerned with the
area about which the estimate is written and those concerned with
the area of the proposed recipients. Various members commented
on the inadvisability of releasing information which indicates the
degree of success of our intelligence, or of providing a country with
a long-term estimate where the continuity of that country's government
? is uncertain.
4. Action: (See item 9 below)

in Chile
