WEEKLY ACTIVITIES AND STATUS REPORT FOR THE DD/ICS--27 February 1985
CIPC Organizational Activities
? Work continues on redrafting the Cruise Missile Report, however, it is
going to take longer than originally planned--a substantive gap has been
identified. We should have a draft report ready for your review by the
end of the week.
? We now understand that a DDO representative will be in attendance at the
final CBW Intelligence Subcommittee meeting scheduled for 4 March 1985.
Apparently, common sense prevailed and we did not have to intervene.
? NSA will be interviewing 8-10 individuals for the CIPC staff position.
This process should be completed by the end of next week. NSA will give
us the opportunity to interview the selectee before a final decision is
made. Their plan is for the NSAer to EOD here by April.
Terrorism Activities:
discuss the current draft of the Terrorism Working Group's study on
counterterrorism. Charlie stated the report contained a considerable
amount of useful information and recommendations. He nevertheless did not
endorse its publication for two principal reasons: First, the costs
referenced were based on NSDD-138 estimates, now eight months old and
possibly "OBE'd" by virtue of having been incorporated to some unknown
extent in the FY-86 NFIP. Charlie believes that the NSDD-138 has
unfortunately proved a worthless exercise. He has pushed Ollie North to
generate a NSC response to the DCI's NSDD proposal, but to no avail. He
plans to see Arnie Donahue, OMB, this week on the same subject but expects
only to be told that unprogrammed resources would have to be "taken out of
hide." That being the case, Charlie recommends against proceeding with
resource recommendations based on what has already been demonstrated as a
losing cause.

? Charlie's second point was that the report does not offer a well focused
unified strategy against terrorism. In his capacity as NI0/CT, Charlie
expects to formulate such a strategy in the coming year and proposes that
such a study would more appropriately emanate from that strategy, rather
than precede it. When pressed on what a counterterrorism "strategy" might
look like, Charlie replied that the closest thing he had yet seen to his
concept of such a strategy was the NSDD-138 response.
? Charlie noted that the report had already produced significant benefits:
the Community Terrorist Alert System (FLASHBOARD), coordination of R&D
work in counterterrorism, identification of training needs, even the ideas
on assertive Community leadership. But work on all of these has already
commenced. Including them as recommendations in the report would,
therefore, be superfluous. Charlie suggested the report be remolded into
a vehicle that would briefly inform the DCI of progress made in the
counterterrorism community and provide the CIPC with advice on general
directions toward further progress.
International Narcotics:
? After conferring with State/INM andl George will not be
attending the Panama narcotics conference. State is already dealing with
a numbers problem at this time (some 90-odd PeODle are attending); Charlie
Allen, NIO/Narcotics, A/NIO, and will be carrying
the Community banner; and State has decided, for security reasons, not to
hold a general Intelligence Community briefing for the conference

nput to this weekly report:
"My final week on the CIPC staff begins with mixed emotions. Service with
CIPC has certainly provided the opportunity to grow in knowledge and
ability that I requested during my ICS assignment interview. Hopefully,
that growth has proven to be mutually beneficial.

? The task force completed its review of a second draft of a preliminary
report on this subject on 26 February. A clean version will be ready by
the end of the week.
Combat Intelligence Analysis:
? In attempting to arrange the final CBW Intelligence Subcommittee Meeting
on 4 March, it has been evident that the clout of the subcommittee has
been diluted by the DCI's 24 December memorandum which disapproved its

Miscellaneous:

As the Committee itself continues to evolve, there will always be
opportunities available to provide valuable support to the Community by
exercising CIPC's unique charter to investigate and offer potential
solutions to our most contentious problems. Should budgetary
considerations become a part of any future efforts, my assistance is
always available (barring any change of heart on the part of D/PBS). As
they say in the Navy, 'Fair winds and following seas."'
