FTICLOSURE
DRAFT
APPOINT EiNT OF SCIENTIFIC ATTACHES
1. NIA Directive No. 7 (Coordination of Collection
Activities) failed to allocate the responsibility for the collec-
tion of scientific intelligence. It left to each agency that
part related to its respective needs. Committee and Intelligence
Advisory Board discussions during the preparation of the program
indicated that future attention %tio uld be given to the scientific
and economic fields.
2. Since adoption of NIA Directive No. 7, the Atomic
Energy Commission and the Toint Research and Development Board
have designated the Central Intelligence Group as the agency to
furnish their intelligence support.
3. Although the Intelligence Division, War Department
General Staff, and A-2, Air Forces, have informally stated their
capability of making satisfactory collection of scientific in-
formation within their on respective fields, all the intelli-
gence agencies have recognized the urgent need for improved
collection in the broad field of scientific information related
to national security. The impending dissolution of TED, London,
threatens to reduce the effectiveness of the Armny's field
collection agencies in matters concerning nuclear energy.
4. The new responsibilities of the Central Intelligence
Group cannot be met with the existing facilities for the collec-
tion of scientific intelligence even though they may be con-
sidered as adequate to certain agency needs. Solution of the
problem is necessary.
a. The appointment of Scientific Attaches to
U. S. Missions in countries having the greatest
scientific potential appears to be essential.

b. It is believ~E~RkTsuch Attaches should
be furnished by one of the agencies. The services per-
formed would be for the common benefit of all agencies.
c. Scientific Attaches would be attached to
U. S. Embassies (Legations) and function in a similar
manner to other attaches.
d.. These Attaches would work in close collabora-
tion with the other attaches who would pass to them all
requests for information on scientific matters beyond
their capabilities to handle.
5. From informal inter-agency conferences, it is believed
that the following countries have the greatest scientific in-
telligence potential:
Russia
Poland
Ro umani a
Bulgaria
Yugoslavia
Czechoslovakia
Hungary
Austria
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
Spain
France
Belgium
Holland
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Finland
Fnnland
India
Japan
China
Mexico
Brazil
Argentina
The Director of Central. Intelligence therefore re-
quests. a discussion of the problem and adoption of an over-all
policy at an early meeting of the Intelligence Advisory Board so
that the detni.].s of a program _o^n be developed.
