of parts of paragraphs 3c and 10. The first part of paragraph 3c

sentence of paragraph 10 will now read as follows: "Admiral

suggesting the possibility that Tito. is deceiving the US and might
be, in fact, working for the Soviet Union."

The Chairman referred again to items 4 and 5 of the minutes of
the previous meeting (IAC-M-170) regarding the release of estimates
involving MIC policy. After some discussion of the matter it was
concluded that no formal action need be taken but that, where questions
of MIC policy are involved, these should be resolved by the members
before the meeting of the IAC at which the release of an estimate is
to be considered.

of the subject of guided missiles and stated that, in the interest of
national security, this most serious threat should be given the highest
priority. The Chairman directed that, in the preparation of a revised
statement of National Intelligence Objectives, now under way, this
subject be presented in such a manner as to require a clear-cut
decision by the committee on the matter of priority.

expressed the appreciation of the committee to the consultants, who

make sure that all gaps are.filled and that the procedure undertaken
