MEMORANDUM FOR Major General John A. Samford
Director of Intelligence, USAF
Rear Admiral Carl F. Espe
Director of Naval Intelligence
Major General Arthur G, Trudeau
Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, USA
SUBJECT;; Agreed Activities
1? In General Samford's memorandum to me of
13 May 1954 on this subject,, he stated his strong feeling
that the members of the Joint Intelligence Committee anrd1
should make every effort to reach agreement on "Agreed
Activities" before turning the matter over to the NSC for
resolution, He also asked for my present view of an accept--
able agreement,
2. A draft of an agreement which would seem to
be an acceptable basis for the carrying out of our respective
responsibilities is attached hereto., You will note that this
agreement is drawn in the form of a DCiD,;
3. This draft takes cognizance of the Armed
Services' functional need to conduct certain foreign espionage
and counterespionage operations and tiounterintelligence op-
erations, and seeks to relate th- se operations to those con-
ducted by the Director of Central Intelligence under DTSCID-5?

4Q Our mutual desire, I am sure, is to strengthen
the resources which this Government can. make available
and which can be used in a practical manner for clandestine
activities. This can be most effectively achieved believes
by implementation of the attached proposed DCID which
seeks to establish a framework for the systematic resolution
of questions pertaining to the major problem as they arise in
these relationships,
5. I would suggest that this document first be
discussed by us at an early date, and subsequently put be-
fore the LAG for its consideration, Whatever directive is
finally issued should, it seems to mes be noted by the NSC.
At the time of referral to the NSC1any unresolved questions
could likewise be placed before them,
