SUBJECT: Meeting of the Ad Hoc Working Group for DCID 1/2
1. The group met for two hours this morning to discuss
an initial draft of a new DCID 1/12 and its proposed attachment,
an explanation of the Intelligence Community planning system.
2. The bulk of the discussion concerned the proposed
functions of a new DCI community planning committee. The
problem is that none of the members of the ad hoc group wishes
to create new layers of bureaucratic coordination, but their
effort to find functions for the new committee threatens to
establish just such new layers. for example,
has proposed that the new committee have as one of its functions
interface with customers. In terms of substance, at least,
the NIOs already perform this function.
3. I spoke to the group to the point that the NIOs
intend to supply the committee with already coordinated
substantive contributions. The NIOs, given their limited
resources, have no ability to spend more time in coordination
processes.
4. Another issue discussed was NSA's insistence that
E.O. 11905 compels the Director to provide a set of
comprehensive requirements to program managers. I suggested
that the NIOs would be willing to submit brief statements of
requirements for their geographic and functional areas of
responsibility as a contribution to the current element of
the planning system, but noted that any comprehensive statement
of requirements on most of the countries of the world was
well beyond the capabilities of the NI staff.

5. With the advice of the ad hoc group on the above
and other points, the Office of Policy and Planning, IC Staff,
will redraft both the proposed DCID and its attachment.
Following the circulation of this new draft, the ad hoc group
will meet again, hopefully with more guidance from the DCI
once he has been briefed by on the proposed
Intelligence Community planning system.
