discussion of the Narcotics Study.
1. The Chairman, Miss Eloise R. Page, DD/ICS, convened the meeting at
1600 hours, 11 October 1983. Miss Page announced that in view of the
complexity of the primary agenda item--The International Narcotics
Coordination and Collection Study--maximum time would be provided to
NFIC meeting.
2. The Chairman also announced that the Cruise Missile Study, which was
considered by the Committee at its last meeting, is being prepared for
publication, and that the DCI would be asked to schedule the study at a future
intelligence gaps on China.
3. Miss Page also provided the Committee a brief status report on the
implementation of the China Working Group, established to study persistent
discussion.
Narcotics Study
4. The Chairman introduced Mr. Jon Wiant, Chairman of the Narcotics
Working Group, and requested that he present the study to the Committee for
5. Mr. Wiant began his overview by stating that he was pleased that the
Committee was meeting to review and discuss the study. He noted that the
gestation and birth of the study had caused a number of concerns. Mr. Wiant
pointed out that the major problems central to the exercise were well-
summarized in the Executive Summary of the study. He noted that a primary
problem was posed by the question, "what do we mean by narcotics
intelligence?" Mr. Wiant stated that the Working Group was tasked by the CIPC
to develop recommendations for intelligence support to the law enforcement
organizations and just how the Intelligence Community could improve
intelligence support to senior policymakers. Mr. Wiant pointed out that the
absence of an agreement within the Federal Government on a narcotics control
strategy made it difficult to assess resource allocations to control the

supply of narcotics, and for interdiction and investigative strategies, or to
make recommendations for enhancing intelligence collection and production. He
noted that serious policy and legal issues prevailed on the question of
national intelligence capabilities being used to support law enforcement
activities. The contentiousness of this latter point, however, may result
from perceptions rather than fact. Mr. Wiant informed the Committee that
there are also concerns about protection of intelligence sources and methods
and the Fourth Amendment, all of which are deeply imbedded in the narcotics
problem and remain unresolved. Mr. Wiant stated that the legal domain in
which the Intelligence Community can operate must be identified.
6. In discussing the accomplishments of the Working Group, he cited its
ability to form a community of diverse interests and to work together for a
six-to-seven-month period in an atmosphere of candor and cooperation to
produce the narcotics study. Mr. Wiant noted that the study and effort of
Working Group have complemented the activities of the NIO for Narcotics.
7. Mr. Wiant reported that the Narcotics Study contained 54
recommendations which, if adopted, would make major inroads in the narcotics
intelligence field. He said that some Community activities were either under
way or had been developed during the Working Group's efforts. He cited as an
example
Mr. Wiant also cited the establishment of close working
relationships with the legal counsels in each of the agencies as a major
accomplishment of the Working Group.
8. In conclusion, Mr. Wiant stated he would welcome the Committee's
comments and recommendations on the study. He expressed his belief in a need
to sustain the narcotics community, and an ongoing need for assuring the
closest Community coordination on narcotics activities. He also noted there
was a requirement to develop an efficient and effective process for evaluating
our progress in this field and a commitment of resources. Mr. Wiant thanked
all of the agencies who participated in the Working Group and reported they
had all worked very hard in developing the study. He particularly thanked Mr.
CIPC staff, who served as principal drafter of the study, and
CIPC staff, who also assisted
in the preparation of the stuff
9. Miss Page thanked Mr. Wiant for his excellent overview, and stated
that she thought the study represented a very good job and was well put
together. The Chairman concurred in the necessity for keeping the narcotics
community functioning together and recommended that the Narcotics Working
Group become a permanent subcommittee of the CIPC to ensure continuing
Community coordination on narcotics-related activities and to monitor the
progress of implementing the approved recommendations contained in the
narcotics study.
10. At this point, the Chairman polled the members for their comments
and reactions to the Narcotics Study.
