MEMORANDUM FOR: Comptroller
SUBJECT : Intelligence Community Budget Data
REFERENCES : A. Memo dtd 3 Jan 63 from Robert Amory to John Bros..:
concerning subject problem and related papers
B. Memo dtd 11 Jan 63 from Comptroller to DCI via I1L
concerning DOD review of intelligence activities
C. Memo dtd 13 Dec 62 from Chief, PAS to Comptroller
concerning BOB reconciliation of Intelligence
Community Budgets
1. Review of reference papers indicates that the so-called
Intelligence Community budget for FY-1961+, included in the DOD portio=i,
(under the heading "Other Intelligence Programs") a host of activitie3
which have not been heretofore considered as intelligence prograsts, e.
It was noted that the activities _o
listed were identical with those chosen tentatively by the DIA for revaev
and consideration; presumably, to determine which, if any, should be
included within DIA's sphere of responsibility. In addition, it 5ho _
noted that the Agency's "covert action operations" are also included A
a part of the Intelligence Community's overall effort.
2. Reference C raised the question as to the extent and nature
the Director's unilateral coordination responsibilities and the U3IB1y
corporate managerial responsibilities with respect to this greatiJ
expanded "package" of activities included in the "Community Budge-;".
3. Reference B indicates that the Bureau of the Budget planned ?.,t.
receive from DOD and pass to the DCI, the results of the DOD review o.
their intelligence activities and, in anticipation of this action.
questioned who in the Agency would get this material and what the,,!, wota`_i
do with it?
1+. The action indicated in paragraph 3 above appears to be a
resumption of the old system whereby intelligence cost estimates here
prepared individually by the members of the community and transmitted -
the BOB, who simply put them together on a spread sheet and shipped tic
over to the DCI. It seems to me t h a t any community-wide d a t a of t m a r . -

gerial nature, including purely budgetary material, should. result fron. a
coordinated effort by the community under the direction of the DCI. The
results of this type of effort in the field of community wide mauage nt,
would be transmitted to the DCI for his use as the Coordinator, and two
use of the USIB in carrying out its managerial role as the community'
"Board of Directors". In addition and with due regard to nis atatutcrr
responsibility for the protection of intelligence sources and methods.
the DCI could, as the Coordinator and/or the Chairman of USIB, make
appropriate use of this data to satisfy any legitimate interests of
Congressional committees, the Bureau of the Budget, the President's
Board of Foreign Intelligence Advisors, etc., with respect to Intelli,-t:a
Community affairs.
5. At no time since the establishment of a Director of Central
Intelligence have we had greater pressures for, a greater deed to harp;
and a better climate in which to achieve strong comprehensive ccord Li
and sound corporate management of the U.S. foreign intelligence effo?..
The formation of the DIA has enhanced the possibilities for inspr:)vea - -t
in all areas of relationship between the DOD intelligence elemen.s at
the CIA, provided we jointly tackle the problems involved without fu,-, r
delay, while the DIA is still in its formative stage, and oeforo it comes
in its own eyes and those of the Agency, through neglect and ate.3-laL th
dealing, another and more potent "competitor" in the intel'igencl, ,jwL
