No Objection to Declassification in Part 2010/02/24: LOC-HAK-28-6-8-6 W gir MEMORANDUM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL SENSITIVE/EYES ONLY MEMORANDUM FOR AL HAIG FROM: ANDY MARSHALL SUBJECT: Selection of a New DCI ./M1 16 November 1972 4 IA/ ( The two most important decisions with respect to the effective mentation of the President's reorganization of the intelligenc-e)? community are: -- Is Helms to be replaced now (or in the Spring' after his sixtieth birthday)? - If so, what are the characteristics of his replacement? These may be questions now under consideration. If Helms is replaced, I suggest: I would hope so. ? -- That the new DCI be brought in from the outside. - Be someone the President likes and trusts personally. -- Have strong management capabilities. If he has some intelligence background that is a plus, but not essential. It will be important to brief a new DCI before he takes over. Prepara- tions should be made for a meeting between HAK and a new DCI. I hope that you are involved in this matter if it is an active issue.
