SUBJECT: Coordination of Draft FY 1989 National Intelligence
Topics (NITs) via NITs Working Group
1. Attached for your review and comments is the Draft FY 1989 NITs
compiled from your submissions. In a departure from the past, we wish to
convene a NITs Working Group (composed of the points-of-contact of the
policymaking and defense organizations) to coordinate this draft at a meeting
to be held on 14 July at 11:00 AM in
In addition to coordination of
the FY 1989 draft, we want to use this opportunity to review the NITs process
and assess its impact on intelligence production. Your views and
recommendations for improvements will be most welcome. We hope this forum
will help improve communications between the consumer and intelligence
producer and ultimately contribute to better satisfaction of consumer needs
through more efficient intelligence production.
2. As you can see, the FY 1989 NITs draft is considerably longer than
last year's. Only a handful of items were deleted and many new items have
been added. Although we used your inputs judiciously and only added new items
when they were considered unique and met the requirement of national interest,
we still have a substantial increase in volume. In your final review, we
encourage you to look more closely for items which may be dropped.
3. Please notify of your attendance plans. If you have
any further questions, please contact me ori of our staff. We can
be reached on
