Advisory Committee (IRAC)
Secretary Kissinger approved a suggestion from Dick Kennedy and
me that the DCI be asked to allow NSC attendance at meetings of the
IRAC and its Working Group and receive relevant working papers
(see Tab B).
have talked with Colby's staff and have been assured that such an
arrangement would be welcomed. The next IRAC meeting is scheduled
for early November. Considering my own departure and other changes
in the NSC staff, Don. Stukel and I do not recommend designating a
specific NSC staff member to work with the MAC. Thai tie Le Eiyanation
can be made ler.
The DCI should receive some official notification of .I-IAK's decision.
Recommendation

him of HAK's decision and requesting his staff coordinate with Dick
Kennedy concerning IRAC meetings and papers. ?

MEMORANDUM FOR HENRY A. KIS
FROM: Richard Kennedy,
A. W. Marshall
SUBJECT: NSC Representation on the Intelligence Resources
Advisory Committee (IRAC)
The President's memorandum of November 5, 1971 included as one of
its actions the establishment of the IRAC to advise the DCI on:
? The preparation of the consolidated intelligence budget.
The allocation of resources among programs.
It is chaired by the DCI and has representatives from Defense, State,
OMB and CIA. There is also a Working Group chaired by thc
representative.
It would be useful 11 the NSC was represented at the meetings of the
Committee and the Working Group. We would be better informed about
the major resource issues and basis of the consolidated budget when it
comes up for Presidential review. OMB feels that we should be involved
in the IRAC process.
Observer status and receipt of the working papers would be sufficient.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the DCI be asked to allow NSC attendance at the
meetings of IRAC and its Working Group, and receive relevant working
papers. If you agree we will make the appropriate arrangements with
the DCI.
