MEMORANDUM FOR: National-Intelligence Officer for Economics
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Industrial Mobilization Capability
1. Lionel Olmer expressed tome the other day his great concern
about the steady impairment of our industrial mobilization capability
and his frustration that nobody in town seems to be addressing it. He
mentioned Dick Levine, working under Roger Robinson at the NSC staff,
who has some responsibility in that area, but I don't remember
connection he was mentioned. He did say tha
n his staff, is the most knowledgeable person about the
state o our industrial base in mobilization terms.
2. This is something I want to look at in foreign intelligence
terms. What capabilities are being shifted offshore? What are the
motivitations? What are the implications? Pursuant to my conversation
with Lionel Olmer,0 has called over to say he is ready to provide
a briefing. 1 would like you to get in touch with him
receive the briefing and then tell me what role we can ay in prove ing
information that the policymakers would need to address the problem.
