MEMORANDUM FOR MAJOR GENERAL HA
FROM:
A
INFORMATION
7 April 1972
SUBJECT: Background for Lunch with PFIAB
Likely topics they will raise are:
-State of implementation of intelligence reorganization.
-- Economic Intelligence.
-- Open skies proposal.
INTELLIGENCE REORGANIZATION
Board has been following it and wanted to report to President. They also
wanted to present their views on actions needed to continue production of
quality intelligence.
Comment: Implementation has been very slow. In talk with HAK last
Friday we agreed that we should request six month report on implementa-
tion from Helms, due 5 May. I am preparing memo for him. Based on
Helms' reply, questions can be raised as to pace and performance of
Helms in carrying out President's directive.
ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE
Board now has comments on their report from State, Treasury, Commerce,
OMB, and DCI. Some questions are raised about specific recommendations,
especially Board view that intelligence should be supplied to U. S. business
and commercial organizations. Board is not likely to push specific recom-
mendations hard; they are said to be gratified by increased action on
economic intelligence within community and user departments and
organizations.

OPEN SKIES
Board's proposal has many problems. Open skies issue has been made
part of study of Soviet anti- satellite threat. This study should be over
here from Pentagon in a few weeks. Phil Odeen tells me that DOD has
had internal conflict on how to respond to study directive.
