IPC Staff Actions Initiated to Enhance our Effectiveness
1 ed list of improvements is provided per your request.
Since t e aff moved to the ICS--and that in itself is an accomplishment-- we
have un ,tak and initiated several actions to make this Staff more
effi ?ent and responsive to Community needs. There is still more that I want
to accomplish and that will come with time. At this point, however, I am
pleased with the results of these initiatives.
2. Also attached for your information and use as appropriate, are two
matrices: \I
Breakdown of the PEI program--copy of this has been provided to C/IPC
and DDI Budget and Finance. It was used to defend the program to the
SSCI.
IPC Staff assignments--copy also provided to C/IPC. As you know,
this is a dynamic process, however it does provide an indication of
the staff officer's general areas of responsibility.
3. If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

IPC STAFF IMPROVEMENTS IN SUPPORT OF INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTION
Relocated IPC Staff to provide stronger involvement of Community
production elements in assessment of consumers' needs, translation of
these needs into both near and long-term requirements, and evaluation
of requirements satisfaction.
Expanded the IPC Staff, creating a more effective and efficient
organization to fulfill our mission and functions as outlined in DCID
3/3.
? Initiated expansion of communications between the IPC, intelligence
producers and the Intelligence Community as a whole, creating a more
dynamic dialogue to strengthen the producers voice in major Community
program decisions.
Conducted a comparative study of NITs gaps to determine trends,
persistent deficiencies, and causes of perceived Community
dissatisfaction with the level of available information relative to
the National Intelligence Topics.
e Restructured the NITs cycle, including the NITs Gaps Report, to-
ensure that the documents provide more timely input into the DCI
budget process and annual Community research/production planning.
? Published the Compendium of Future Intelligence Requirements (COFIR),
which provides a long-range statement of Community requirements for
future collection, development, and planning. As directed by the
DDCI, we are developing update procedures to ensure the currency and
relevance of the COFIR as a-long range planning and development tool.
? Initiated an architecture study for automating the NITs, COFIR, NITs
Gap Report, NITs production reports, and other IPC-directed
activities. The linking of these data bases and activities, together
with the FIRCAP, will provide the capability to support more
effectively the Community production managers and policy makers.
? Initiated a survey of the Reagan administration policy makers to
determine the utility of the content and format of Community
intelligence production.
? Expanded Community awareness of the PEI program thereby precipitating
a 350 percent increase in PEI submissions for FY 88/89 and allowing
the IPC to select the PEIs that contribute more effectively to the
Intelligence Community production process.
? Revamped PEI procedures to ensure more timely and pertinent feedback
to sponsors and to strengthen IPC staff management of program funding
and monitoring.
