4. Report by Critical Communications
Committee

-urv.,t, vl snis c.om-
mittee, dated 21 July, which was circulated at the meeting. The
members noted the report and approved the recommendation contained
therein that SAC, TAC and ADC be added to the list of addressees for
CRITIC messages. With respect to the dissemination to IAC members
referred to in paragraph 2, it was understood that CRITIC messages
would also be distributed to the FBI and AEC by CIA, as appropriate,
and in the light of memoranda outlining the general requirements of
those two agencies, which would be furnished to CIA by the FBI and
AEC.
In this connection Mr. Sheldon raised a question regarding the
transmission of information within the intelligence community. After
discussion it was agreed that transmission of information to the
Watch Office of an IAC agency should constitute notification to the
principal of that agency; however, it was understood that Watch
Officers would be instructed to honor any specific requests by dis-
patching officers of other agencies that principals be personally
notified.
A question was also raised as to whether CIA would assume the
responsibility of transmitting to all other IAC agencies information
regarding an impending crisis situation which was passed to CIA by
another agency. Mr. Sheldon noted that new facilities now scheduled
to go into operation about 1 September would permit simultaneous
transmission of such information by CIA to all IAC agencies. How-
ever, he queried whether CIA should assume such a responsibility
prior to the installation of this new equipment. The members then
agreed that Mr. Sheldon should study the problem further and report
