UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN
MEMORANDUM FOR USIB PRINCIPALS
I
SUBJECT National Intelligence Officers
3 October 1973
1. Effective 1 October 1973, Mr. George A. Carver, Jr. is
appointed Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence for National
Intelligence Officers (D/DCI/NIO). National Intelligence Officers
will be appointed by the DCI for such geographical areas or func-
tional subjects as the DCI may deem necessary from time to time.
Each National Intelligence Officer will be the Director's personal
representative and will report directly to the DCI on his area of
responsibility. Any tasking the NIOs levy on other elements of the
Intelligence Community will be subject to the DCI's approval and will
pass through the normal command channels of USIB member agencies.
It is my hope, however, that the NIOs will. maintain extensive informal
direct contacts with-the elements of USIB member agencies and others
in the official and private sectors cognizant of the NIO's area of respon-
s ibility. 1.
2. The primary function of au NIO will be to provide contact
laterally on his subject across the functionally organized Intelligence
Community and with customers and outside consultants as required.
Each NIO will be responsible to the Director for providing Intelligence
Community coordinated products (using s'xch panels of experts or
ad hoc committees and arranging USIB consideration as may be needed)
to satisfy requirements for NIEs, NSSM responses, PCI briefings,
etc. Each NIO will assist the Director in identifying customer needs
for National Intelligence, evaluations of product and program effective-
ness, uncertainties requiring collection guidance, analysis or production,.

and national policy problems on which National Intelligence might
offer assistance. Each NIO will maintain close personal contact with
the NSC Staff and other principal intelligence consumers and contri-
butors at the department level. Every NIO will be charged with
presenting for the Director's review fully objective presentations of
alternate views and interpretations.
3. The. Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence for the
National Intelligence Officers (D/DCI/NIO) is assigned administrative
and coordinating authority over the NIOs and will chair meetings of
the NIOs for discussion of production standards, work schedules,
quality control, and product review.
4. The NIOs will replace the present Board and Office of National
Estimates, the Special Assistant for Vietnamese Affairs, and other
units as appropriate.
