General Collins raised a question with respect to the pro-
cedure to be followed by the ad hoc committee established to review
the proposal for release of military intelligence which had been con-
sidered recently by the IAC (IAC-M-327, item 7). General Cabell,
who was then presiding, noted that, under guidance given to the
chairman of that committee, it was expected that the committee's
work would include not only preparation of draft criteria but also
a review of the proposal itself; however, the particular order in
which these matters were to be considered was for the ad hoc
committee to decide. The members concurred in this procedure.
