Relationship of SRP
with the DCI (DDCI); DD/NFA-D/NFAC; and C/NIC
1. Premises
--The SRP will continue to function as a corporate body,
whose precise role and functions are still evolving.
--The SRP, albeit cautiously and gradually as Community-
wide acceptance is achieved, is expected to move towards a
broader role within the Intelligence Community.
--The SRP will perform both NFAC and Community-wide
functions.
--Individual members of the SRP will function as NIOs-
at-large within the NIC,.and may be charged with other tasks
outside the NIC.
2. Organizational Location
The SRP normally reports to the DD/NFA acting as the
DCI's agent. For administrative purposes and support, the
SRP will function within the Office of the DD/NFA. (See
organization chart)

3. Authority
On Com,-nunity-wide matters, it should be clearly
understood that the SRP functions with the authority of
the DCI, albeit under the cognizance of the DD/NFA. On
occasion, for a specific Community-wide project, it may be
appropriate for the SRP to operate under a written directive
signed by the DCI outlining that particular undertaking.
Since the DCI has the statutory authority and responsibility,
and the DD/NFA is not a statutory position, this understanding--
that the SRP is the DCI's Panel as well as the DD/NFA's--is
essential if the SRP is to function effectively.
4. Relationships (See organizational chart)
--As a collegial group, the SRP functions in an off-line,
advisory capacity, normally reporting to the DD/NFA-D/NFAC,
but on occasion may function under specific instructions from
the DCI or DDCI. For certain functions, for example the
review of interagency papers, the SRP may also directly advise
the Chairman, NIC; however, the SRP is not an integral part of
the Council.
--As individuals, members of the SRP function within
the Council and under the Chairman as NIOs-at-large under
procedures prescribed by the Chairman.
--The SRP may also advise the D/NFAC on more purely CIA
matters such as NFAC's overall research and production program.
