G. Thank you for your letter of 22.January 1951 in which you request a report on Soviet capabilities to counter the delivery of U. S. atomic weapons. An estimate of this scope will require the participation of the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group of the Department of Defense, which I have requested. This Agency is willing to undertake the responsibility of preparation and of bringing the estimate into the current schedule of intelligence production. This will take some time as a detailed study will be necessary, but, I believe we can have a satisfactory estimate ready for you by April 1. Your letter also requests information as to the background of the semi-annual report whIch was recently delivered to you. Since this information is of a very sensitive nature, I have asked Mr. Walter Pforzheimer to discuss with you informally the best means by which it can be transmitted to you. With kindest regards, I am Sincerely, (signed) Walter B. Smith Walter B.

Senator Brien McMahon, Chairman, Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, has requested a comprehensive estimate on Soviet capabilities "to impair, prevent, or frustrate the delivery of atomic weapons to targets inside the USSR." 2. This agency, with the assistance of the Departmental intelligence organizations, is willing to undertake the prepara- tion of the necessary estimate, which we believe is desirable to insure Congressional support. 3. However, Senator McMahon's request necessitates an appraisal of Soviet defensive capabilities in terms of U. S. offensive capabili- ties, and this can only be done with the cooperation of the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group because of its recent operational analyses in this field. 4+, Therefore, I request your authorization for the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group to participate in this project. The finished product will be issued as a national estimate with the same limited distribution as that recently given to the report on the Soviet atomic energy program. /s/ WALTER B..

Pursuant to the general provisions of NSCID No. 3 the Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee was constituted as a working group under the Scientific Intelligence Committee on 21 November 1949. Later, under provisions of DCID 3/4, in August 1952, the Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee (JAEIC) was reconstituted "as a permanent interdepartmental committee with the same structure and functions as before." 2. The present JAEIC membership is as follows: a. CIA, Chairman b. State Department c. Atomic Energy Commission d. Army e. Navy f. Air Force $. JCS h. FBI Ad-Hoc j. OSD 3. The JAEIC approved terms of reference are forwarded herewith as enclosure 1. The functions listed are essentially identical with those transmitted to the SIC on 24 March 1950 and under which the JAEIC has been onerating since that date. It is recommended that enclosure 1 be published as Annex C to DCID 3/4. /s/ Herbert Scoville, Jr. Chairman Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 SECRET 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Release 2003/09/29: CIA-RDP.85S03 SA if 6R0003V MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence SUBJECT : Briefing Memorandum on JAEIC Terms of Reference, IAC Agenda Item 1. The proposed Terms of Reference for JAEIC have been approved by all the full members of JAEIC. The functions are essentially the same as those agreed upon in the past, but in some cases they are spelled out a bit more clearly. The definition of atomic energy intelligence, see Footnote J to the.Terms of Reference, is new and limits JAEIC activities more than the old NIA Directive 9 which defined it as follows: "All intelligence information related to foreign atomic energy intelligence developments and potentialities affecting the national security." The present definition is acceptable to O/SI. 2. There has been considerable discussion within JAEIC on this definition and it is possible that the Joint Staff or some other military member might attempt to still further restrict JAEIC fields of interest by recommending changes at the meeting. In particular, they may wish to add at the end additional items to be excluded from atomic energy intelligence. These might be tactics and techniques of employment of nuclear weapons by armed forces, or the political and strategic implications of various weapon developments. He may also try to insert "scientific and technical" between"is" and "intelligence" in the first line. Although JAEIC does not intend to concentrate or do any extensive estimating in these fields, these limitations are not considered desirable. These fields must be considered in making an over-all evaluation of the Soviet nuclear program. 3. It is considered that these proposed JAEIC functions are good guide lines for other similar committees which may be set up under the IAC. For example, we would recommend that the proposed Guided Missile Committee have identical functions. Likewise, if the charter of the SEC is revised, these functions might be satisfactory for it as well. -3 OO/7 / '~r .Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-Fkb1D85S00362R000300090001-8 SUBJECT: Briefing Memorandum on JAEIC Terms of Reference, IAC Agenda Item 4. It is recommended that you endorse these Terms of Reference at the IAC meeting and make every effort to prevent any weakening of either the functions or the definition. .

In connection with item 8 of the Agenda for 5 September, we have been advised by JAEIC that it has issued a second statement, dated 30 August, dealing with a later explosion. This statement, available from your JAEIC representatives, will be placed on the agenda for the 5 September meeting. 2. In connection with both statements, the IAC, should consider, in compliance with the paragraph 5 of DCID 11/1 (as revised 17 July 1956), the question of release to foreign governments. We are informed that JAEIC has made no recommendation on this question, which appears to involve issues both of security and of policy in the dissemination of information on nuclear matters which is withheld from the US public.

This group has encountered basic differences of view concerning the scope of the estimate and, in discussion of the issues, has uncovered what appear to be basic differences as to the responsibility the IAC should assume in the field of estimating Soviet nuclear weapon allocations. At a joint meeting of the Senior IAC representatives and JAEIC members on 24 July these: issues could not be resolved. We therefore regret- fully submit the problem to the lAG for resolution. 2. The immediate issue concerns whether Part II should be done at all,, or w e er, it is done, it should include merely illustra- tive examples or should include a broad high-low range of possible allocations divided broadly by missions and delivery systems. The alternatives are: Alternative A: no Part II at all. 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362ROO0300090001-8 25X2 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Rel a 2003/09/29: CIA-RDP85SO0362R09W00090001-8 4. Agency Positions. The tentative Agency positions appear to a. On the immediate issue of Part II of NIE 11-2-57: State Air Force, and CIA favor going ahead with erna ve for C approval. AEC and JIG favor going only as far as Alternative B, but would accept Alternative C. Army and Navy favor Alternative A, or Alternative B at most the event Alternative B is adopted, the Army would oppose the inclusio,). f Section I-IV and favor solely the statement on i,iathomatieal possibilities. b. On the long-term issue of MC responsibility: State, Air Force and C If1 -- in the event that the present exercise does not produce an Alternative D result -- favor the II.C taking responsibility for an appropriate project to produce an'Alternative D result at the earliest possible time, whether as part of NIE 11-Ii-57 or as a separate project. Such a project would include explicit discussion of possible Soviet strategy, relevant delivery systems, and war-gaming factors (with outside advice as needed). AEC favors the IAC taking responsibility for an appropriate project to produce an Alternative D result at the earliest feasible time, provided that Soviet strategic policy can be outlined in sufficient detail to provide meaningful guidelines. Arr __ttNaavy and JIG do not favor the TAC taking responslbi. i y at any time for an Alternative D result in the absence of a clear and convincing showing of consumer requirements, particularly at the NSC level. /s/ HERBERT SCOVILU , JR.

In accordance with the instructions of the I.'.C (IAC-11-300, paragraph 5, 30 July 1957) a Working Group of your repnr:sentatives continued work during August and September on a 'art II draft for NIE 11.2.57, the Narch 1957 estimate on the Soviet nuclear ,Program.

Coordination of Intelligence Guidance and Collection Activities at the Geneva 1958 International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy 1. The second Geneva International Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy scheduled for 1=11+ September 1958 offers a unique oppor- tunity for the intelligence community to acquire a great deal of infor- mation on Soviet nuclear energy activities via the information released by the Soviets as well as additional data by an exploitation of overt and covert sources. A wide range of subjects that are important from an intelligence standpoint have been included on the Provisional Topical Agenda published through the United Nations for this conference, and extensive Soviet Bloc participation is assured. There will be oppor- tunities for extensive overt coverage and only a small overt effort against several key areas of information appears necessary. 2. A particularly timely exploitation of this conference is needed to assure prompt reporting and evaluation of the information obtained in order for JAEIC to complete its annual NIE on the Soviet atomic energy program during October and November 1958. Information derived from Geneva should make a substantial contribution to the Estimate as was, .the :case in 1955. 3. Interested analytical and collection elements are already planning a number of actions and the AEC, Division of Intelligence, has initiated some steps to coordinate these efforts. It is believed that the sizeable intelligence effort required, if carefully coordinated, can be carried out without interfering with, or deterring, the basic US objectives. 4. Under NSCID No. 2, the Departments of State, Army, Navy and Air Force as well as CIA all have responsibilities for the collection of scientific and technical intelligence'that is obtainable through this conference. In addition, the AEC is, vitally interested in this intelli- gence, and has a responsibility for collecting intelligence through its representatives to the conference. The best possible community approach is needed to satisfy these complex intelligence interests and preserve the sanctity of the intent of the Conference.

It is the opinion of JAEIC that the IAC should take cognizance of this need for concerted, but'carefully coordinated, intelligence effort, and should sponsor the needed coordination. We recommend that the IAC note this memorandum and approve the following: a. There shall be a concerted and carefully coordinated effort under IAC auspices to exploit the second International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy for intelligence purposes. This effort shall in no way jeopardize the basic US objectives of this conference; b. The responsibility for coordinating all aspects of this intelligence effort is assigned to JAEIC on an ad hoc basis, and JAEIC shall advise the IAC as soon as practicable after the completion of this conference of the intelligence gain and experience acquired from a collection standpoint. 6. It is my intent that this coordination effort will be handled by an ad hoc working group under Dr. Charles Reichardt, the Atomic Energy Commission JAEIC member, and that the group include working level repre- sentatives of both collection and evaluation elements to the extent desired by member agencies. Any formal coordination of clandestine collection found necessary can be accomplished via existing mechanisms for that purpose with the aid of collection guidance generated by this working group- HMUMT O LLE, JR.

The attached recommends that the IAC assign to JAEIC, on an ad hoc basis, the responsibility for coordinating intelli- gence exploitation of the Geneva atomic energy conference, i-14 September 1958. 2. All members of JAEIC have agreed to this proposal but there may be some reluctance on the part of the AEC when the matter comes before the IAC. The AEC-JAEIC member, Dr. Reichardt, agreed to the attached text only after exhaustive argument concerning the intent of language in He favors the formation of a steering group under J s rec ion as we propose, but has argued that this group should be directly under IAC rather than JAEIC. 3. The AEC declined to accept responsibilities for atomic energy intelligence collection abroad during the rewrite of While some effort may be made to interpret present wording to include this responsibility for the Geneva Conference, I do not believe the intent of the present directive can be thus interpreted. 4. I strongly recommend that the JAEIC proposed plan be adhered to and approved. It is needed to provide coordination of the many diverse requirements and collection problems which will arise as planning for the conference proceeds. We were not satisfied with our "take" from Geneva in 1955 and believe that stronger coordination will produce better results. HE=T OV a JR.

It is our conclusion that the subject is not of such crucial importance as to call for such action, either through a new NIE or "Memorandum to Holders" such as was recently used for SNIE 11-10-57 (ICBM). 2, However, we believe that policy-makers concerned in the subject should have the benefit of the current JAEIC view.

IAC 11 29 December 1950 FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM (for facts, see Inclosure 1) CONCLUSIONS 2 In blocking the reception of VOA broadcast programs in territory within the U.S.S.R. and Satellites, the preponderant advantage and possibility of success lies with the Russian jamming organization due to inherent, inescapable physical factors. Improve- ment in the extent to which the VOA can be made accessible to Russian listeners can be achieved by informed manipulation of the broadcast and relay frequencies and directional aspects of the VOA transmitters based upon knowledge of the Russian jamming ability at the time. This knowledge can be partially obtained by a monitoring organiza- tion capable of identifying and locating the Russian transmitters and frequencies available for interference operations. The ultimate success of the jamming operation versus the penetration effort would be determined by Russian decision as to the scale of their jamming effort. .3. An effort in support of the VOA program would provide valuable information concerning Russian potential to block or inter- fere with other communication services of the U. S. government and possibly lead to the development of techniques for combatting such interference.

Under present intelligence priorities and service opera- tional requirements, existing facilities of the military services and AFSA are not available for application on the required scale to the problem of obtaining adequate information on present Russian jamming of the VOA and potential Russian ability to interfere with other U. S. communications. The facilities of the Services and AFSA now installed overseas are not technically suited to a solu- tion of this problem. No other agencies of the U. S. maintain suitable facilities where they are required. 5. A program for obtaining information on Russian jamming and potential for radio interference, such as suggested in Inclosure 2, could be initiated at an estimated initial cost of $5,000,000 for the first year and the provision of 355 trained technicians. The effectiveness and success of this undertaking would be gradual and in proportion as equipment and personnel became realities and experience was gained, but the ultimate degree of success cannot be predicted. 6. Operational direction of a program such as that envisaged in Inclosure 2 could be conducted most effectively by AFSA which now has the most complete store of information on Russian communi- cations activities, is continuously acquiring this information, has communications with and operational reporting from several of the SECRET UC _-D -11 29 December 1950 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : C4A-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 Approved For Reldts6 2Idal C IA-RDP85SO0362ROO 3BW0001-8 IAC 11 29 December 1950 monitoring sites in the suggested program, and has had wide experi- ence in the field of monitoring and transmitter location and identification. 7. It is possible to render a minor amount of assistance to the VOA program with existing Service facilities and personnel. This amount of assistance to the VOA will not appreciably improve the penetration of Soviet jamming and other interference nor will it materially increase the amount of information obtained which will assist other U. S. Government communications services in combatting present and future Soviet radio interference, 8. If a program such as that indicated in Inclosure 2 is under- taken, full advantage and use should be made of the experience and technical knowledge of other agencies which have previously dealt with this or similar problems, e. g., the FCC. 9. A program of obtaining information on Russian jamming potential by direct intercept, D/F, and signal analysis would in no way diminish the need for obtaining intelligence on the problem by other means, such as covert operations, COMINT, and reporting by diplomatic missions suitably located.

Intentional jamming of the radio relay circuits and broad- casting channels of the VOA programs is being carried out by Russian radio transmitters with the result that only an estimated 100 of the Russian language broadcasts of the VOA can be received in the U.S.S.R. There is similar Russian interference with VOA programs designed and engineered for reception in the European Satellite States of the U.S.S.R.' Greece, Iran, and China. There has occurred in recent months sporadic intentional interference with U. S. Ser- vice communications and International Commercial radio communica- tions, apparently created by Russian or Satellite organizations. 2. The effectiveness, skill and occasional misdirection of this interference with the VOA indicate the existence in the U.S.S.R. of a carefully engineered, well operated and lavish system of radio jamming under competent control and probably under central direction. 3. The capability and effectiveness of this Russian jamming organization are such that it could create serious interference with, if not total blocking of, communication circuits of other U. S. government services, particularly the armed forces' trans- oceanic circuits and other radio channels serving forces afloat and ashore in Europe, Africa, the Western Pacific islands and the main- SECRET SECRET IAC -D -11 29 December 1950 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Rele 2003/09/29: CIA-RDP85S00362R0QOi90001-8 IAC -D -11 SECRET 29 December 1950 land of Asia. 4, The number of Russian broadcast transmitters has been increasing in the recent past, particularly in Western Russia, the Satellites and the Russian occupied zones of Germany. The frequen- cies of these broadcasters interfere with those of the VOA Western German stations and Armed Forces Network stations in Germany and it appears certain that the purpose of many of these transmitters is not to deliver Russian government programs but to block programs of other governments, such as the VOA and B.B,C,. 5? In the case of radio broadcasting there is no way now known to science of combatting jamming interference created by jammer signals of approximately equal or greater strength than the broadcast signal in the area of intended reception other than by avoiding the frequencies on which it is possible for the jammer to produce such interference. 6. In the case of radio relay to the broadcasting point (as is necessary for the VOA) or in the case of point to point radio communication (as for government service or commercial circuits) the effect of jamming interference can be diminished by knowledge- able manipulation of the transmission frequency; in effect "dodging" the jamming. 7? In either case the degree of success in evading interfer- ence is dependent upon (a) immediate knowledge by the transmitting SECRET SECRET IAC-D-11 29 December 1950 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : &A-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 Approved For Rele'e 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R00001-8 SECRET IAC-D 11 29 December 1950 agency of the frequencies, locations, types of signals and effective ranges of active and available jamming transmitters, (b) the ability of the jamming organization to "follow" frequency shifts by the point-to-point or broadcasting transmitters and (c) availability of jamming transmitters so located and employing power and frequencies such as to produce an effective jamming signal at the receiver. 8. A considerable amount of information on Russian trans- mitters of all Russian communications services is available in AFSA and is being continuously and systematically expanded; much less information on Russian broadcasting and active jamming transmitters is available and information on these two types is not being syste- matically developed. 9. Little or nothing is known of the Russian organization responsible for this operation or of the method of control of the jamming operations. Information on these subjects is essential to the planning of adequate counter measures. 10. The Navy Security Branch can, with existing facilities, render the following assistance to the VOA: daily, but at times which would be dependent upon operational commitments (of first priority), obtain and transmit by rapid means to a designated center D/F bearings of Russian jamming transmitters from stations as follows: SECRET IAC-D-11 29 December 1950 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : C~A-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Rele*e 2003/09/0RDP85S00362R0001-8 IAC-D-11 29 December 1950 12. The Air Force Security Service considers that its exist- ing facilities are insufficient for its primary mission and could not, therefor, be committed to any continuing program of assistance to the VOA. The AFSS can, however, accept specific D/F missions from the VOA and attempt to locate specified transmissions within the limitations of available facilities and after satisfying other assignments of first priority. 13. Technically, the problem of separating and taking bearings on several Russian interfering radio signals transmitted simultan- eously on the same frequency from different localities is extremely difficult. Employment of supressed carrier or other unusual techni- ques will add to the difficulty. The Navy maintains only one D/F in the Atlantic net favorable located outside the Continental U. S. which severly limits the accuracy of positions of transmitters in Russia located by this D/F network.. .14. The FCC has provided a limited amount of information on Russian jamming transmitters and has had. considerable experience in the type of D/F and monitoring operations required for the VOA prob- lem. Certain British organizations have had similar experience of value. 15.

Additionally, there would be required 355 trained technicians. Such an organization is outlined in I}closure 2, 17. There is a deficit of trained personnel, direction finder, intercept and signal analysis equipment, communications equipment and frequencies for any effective program for obtaining information on Russian jamming potential. The approved programs for the expan- -sion of AFSA facilities and those of the service cryptologic agencies would be in conflict or competition with an effort to alleviate the jamming problem, present and potential, from the standpoint of pro- curement of trained personnel and facilities. 18.

The initial program for this activity should be under- taken along the lines suggested in Enclosure 2 of the USCIB Report of 28 November 1950- b. This activity should monitor and locate Russian jamming signals and other interfering transmitters and should convey promptly and continuously to the VOA and other interested US communications services such resulting information as will assist them to improve their reception. c. This activity should not interfere with existing monitoring programs, particularly from the standpoint of equip- ment and personnel, d, This activity should be thoroughly coordinated with existing monitoring activities. e. In view of the COMINT aspects of this program, USCIB should be assigned responsibility for overall coordination of this activity and of its relation to such other monitoring activities as will contribute to this program. In the per- formance of this responsibility, USCIB should be governed by the provisions of NSCID #9 as they apply to COMINT activities. f. This activity should be placed under the operational direction of AFSA, and appropriate provision should be made for Service procurement of the necessary equipment and personnel. -2- Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 SECRET Approved For Rele 2003/09/ 1A- P85S00362R00 0090001-8 'ii~ Or 3.

The NIS Committee has for some time been concerned over the general situation in respect to basic intelligence collection, maintenance, and production for the NIS Program. In view of the increasingly critical international situation, the Committee is of the opinion that much greater emphasis must be given to the NIS Program. to provide the essential basic intelligence on strategically important world areas at the earliest practicable date. The Com- mittee has therefore examined this matter and has arrived at certain conclusions, set forth hereinafter) which it,desires be laid before the Director of Central Intelligence for consideration by the Intelligence Advisory Committee. 2. The actual operations of the NIS Program have extended over the past two years. The experience of this period confirms the essential soundness of the Program as a means of developing the basic intelligence needed by the Government. There has been a vacillation of support by the Intelligence Agencies, however, which has greatly complicated the task and weakened the production effort. Moreover, the uneven quality of NIS contributions indi- cates a serious lack of qualified personnel available for NIS work. The NIS Committee considers that no real measure of improvement in., the NIS Program can be realized at any level of effort without first effecting a fundamental improvement in these aspects of the Program. 3. Recently the Secretary of Defense has directed the Armed Forces Agencies to assign support sufficient to maintain NIS pro- duction at the equivalent rate of eight NIS a year on a long range, continuous basis. At this rate of production there should be available by the end of this fiscal year the approximate equivalent of 18 NIS. Considering only the 60 high priority areas contained in the JCS list, there will still remain the equivalent of 42 NIS to be produced beginning with fiscal year 1952. How soon this job should be done is determined by the national security interests. How soon this job will be done is determined. by the amount of support which is directed toward its accomplishment, 4. At a sustained rate of production of 8 NIS a year the NIS on all high priority areas will be completed and placed fully on a maintenance basis sometime during fiscal year l957.. This is nearly 5 years beyond the original target date approved in 19+8 by the IAC, the JCS, and the NSC. In spite of the urgency of the present situation, the Committee feels that too much time has already been lost to make the original target date a feasible goal. The Committee therefore agrees that an intermediate target date SECRET Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 4 V Approved For ReIe 2003/09/29: CIA-RDP 008Qt090001-8 r ~ t should be set on the basis of a reasonably attainable augmentation of NIS production capabilities within the CIA and the IAC Agencies. This is indicated in the following table and sets the completion of the primary requirements by the end of fiscal year 1954. There will also be needed additional capabilities for the maintenance of published NIS. Fiscal Year Equivalent NIS Total Previous 1949 31 32 production 1950 62 10 Present authorized ( level of production 1951 8 18 Proposed level of ( 1952 12 30 production ( 1953 15 45 ( 195+ 15 6o 5. In order to achieve the foregoing NIS production scliedule, it will be necessary to build up a competent staff in each agency actually capable of this production at the beginning of the fiscal years involved. To do this needs more than mere authorization. It needs the assignment of a priority for the NIS Program in each agency commensurate with its importance and sufficient to ensure the acqui- sition of this staff both through new recruitment and through re- alignment of agency capabilities. Moreover, there will be needed a greatly increased collection effort to fill the serious gaps which now exist and to keep the basic intelligence up to date. The NIS Committee therefore recommends: a. that the NIS on all JCS high priority areas be com!leted and placed fully on a maintenance basis by 30 June 1954; b. that the Intelligence Agencies assign to the NIS Program a degree of priority which will ensure the summary attainment of adequate production and maintenance capabilities for this task; and. c, that the collection of NIS requirements on high priority areas be afforded the necessary increased support. 25X1A SE(RcT Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 -2..

The Committee therefore agrees that an intermediate target date c ,. ` Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R000090001-8 306_2DZ Approved For Release 003/09/29: CIA-RDP85SO0362R000 00090001-8 Vav- I should be set on the basis of a reasonably attainable augmentation of NIS production capabilities within the CIA and the IAC Agencies. This is indicated in the following table and sets the completion of the primary requirements by the end of fiscal year 1954. There will also be needed additional capabilities for the maintenance of published NIS.

In order to achieve the foregoing NIS production schedule, it will be necessary to build up a competent staff in each agency actually capable of this production at the beginning of the fiscal years involved. To do this needs more than mere authorization. It needs the assignment of a priority for the NIS Program in each agency commensurate with its importance and sufficient to ensure the acqui- sition of this staff both through new recruitment and through re- alignment of agency capabilities. Moreover, there will be needed a greatly increased collection effort to fill the serious gaps which now exist and to keep the basic intelligence up to date. The NIS Committee therefore recommends: a. that the NIS on all JCS high priority areas be completed and placed fully on a maintenance basis by 30 June 195+; b. that the Intelligence Agencies assign to the NIS Program a degree of priority which will ensure the summary attainment of adequate production and maintenance capabilities for this task; and c. that the collection of NIS requirements on high priority areas be afforded the necessary increased support.. 25X1A Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 -2- pproved For Release 2003/09/29 st i 5S00362R000300090001-8 4 2 5 2 3 February 1951 RANDU TO t THE DII CTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCH TOUGH s Assistant Director for Intellicence Coordination Assistant Director for Research and Reports The I Program Special Report of the NIS Co %ttee dated 16 January 1951- 1.

All agencies have concurred in the recommended changes. 2. The Deputy Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff, recommends that: a. The present HIGH PRIORITY GROUP I with certain additional areas be placed in a new group to be accorded HIGHEST PRIORITY. Also that the new HIGHEST PRIORITY GROUP be further sub-divided into priority groupings as follows: HIGHEST PRIORITY a. China-Manchuria Indo-China Yugoslavia Greece Turkey Iran U.S.S.R. b.

NIS COMMITTEE FINDINGS -SECRET IAC-D-1 1 13 March 1951 1. The following questions were asked the NIS Committee: a. At the presently authorized T/0 of the contributing agencies, which is based on the production of the equivalent of 8 NIS a year, when will the NIS be completed on the 2L Highest Priority Areas contained in reference memorandum? b. Assuming the rate of production proposed by the NIS Committee in its Special Report of 16 February 1951, when will the NIS be completed on the 2t Highest Priority Areas contained in reference memorandum? c. What portions of the NIS outline do the IAC Agencies consider could be omitted with a view to reducing the pro- duction load? Completion Dates 2. The Committe feels that, while a certain amount of production on the new Highest Priority Areas is already being accomplished, it will require an appreciable length of time before maximum effort can be directed to these new Highest Priority Areas. In many instances, area specialists will have to be recruited. In other instances, current production will have to be completed before starting work on some sections of the Highest Priority Areas in order that the large amount of production work already accomplished will not be wasted. In other words, it takes time to realign NIS production to new priority objectives. Moreover, the existing staffs in the contributing agencies include area specialists concerned with other high priority areas who should continue NIS production in the interests of realizing the maximum production capabilities of these agencies. There is no assurance, either, that some of these other high priority areas may not be raised in priority at some later date. SECRI, .T@SECRET 3. Taking into account the above factors, and based on the assumption that adequate staffs can be recruited within a reasonable time, the NIS Committee considers that the NIS on the Highest Priority Areas can be completed with the presently C D-1 Approved For Release 2003/09/29: CIA-RDP85S0U6R 3l Approved For Relei 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R00( ,0090001-8 CIA 3 6144 : SECR B SEB CRET IAC--D- 13/1 13 March 1951 authorized T/0-by 30 June 1953. The NIS Committee further considers that, while the NIS production rate proposed by the Committee in its Special Report of 16 February 1951 will be capable of a much greater "across-the-board" production of the 60 High Priority Areas than with the presently authorized T/O, the completion of the NIS on the new 2)4 Highest Priority Areas will be accomplished with the proposed larger staffs about six months earlier, or 30 December 1952. Portions That Could Be Omitted )4. The NIS Committee members stated that their agencies did not consider that any substantial reduction in the NIS outline should be made. The Air Force is eliminating certain Order of Battle data in Section 83, Chapter VIII (Armed Forces), but since this information is maintained by the Directorate of Intelligence as a standing requirement, its exclusion from the NIS will not appreciably reduce the amount of effort necessary to produce this NIS section. The NIS Committee has kept NIS requirements under continuing revision since the inception of the NIS Program, and the Committee considers that any major reduction in the present requirements would be prejudicial to the NIS Program. 25X1A Approved For 1 eesse REL : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Rele W2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000 090001-8 CIA 36144 SECRET TAB C CIA FINDINGS '-SECRET IAC-D-13/1 13 March 1951 1. CIA was requested to consider the following questions relating to the NIS program: a. How can CIA be. of assistance to the military services in their recruitment for NIS positions? b. Could sections.af the NIS be prepared under contract by Universities or private research groups? c. Could training programs be instituted to pro- vide more analysts with the special kinds of competence required for NIS work? Recruitment Assistance 2. The CIA personnel office is in touch with the Army NIS people and will endeavor to render such assistance as they can. Upon preliminary examination CIA believes it can be most helpful by making available the services of CIAis recruiting teams and by drawing on extensive CIA application files. This can best be done by getting the Army's specific qualification requirements, Although the matter is still under study, it does not now appear that CIA can be of much assistance with regard to the civil service aspects of the problem or financial support. Contract Research 3. Arrangements of this kind have been tried in the past with somewhat unsatisfactory results. There is a tendency for academic experts to reflect in their contributions special points of view which are not in keeping with the purely objec- tive and factual tone required in the Surveys. An understanding of the precise specifications, requirements, and editorial character of the NIS can be acquired only by a contact between the writer and the editorial group closer than that which is possible when the work is done in a distant city by people not familiar with the program. Finally, in many cases a good deal of classified material must be used in the preparation of the Surveys which cannot easily be made available to private groups. The possibilities of having completed sections ready for publi- cation farmed out on contract do not, therefore, look promising. -Te?

On the other hand, a real saving in the time and effort needed for final preparation in Washington may be possible by having done at Universities background studies which assemble some of the basic material and which can then be edited and blended with classified data by the Washington agencies. The extent to which this can be done depends upon the availability in private institutions of qualified analysts and information relating to the high priority areas. The External Research Staff maintained jointly by the State Depart- ment and the CIk is currently conducting an inventory of the research facilities of 90 leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. When this survey has been com- pleted it will be matched with the list of NIS sections still to be done on the high priority areas to determine the specific possibilities of contract research. It is believed, however$ on the basis of a preliminary comparison of the sections to be done and the probable research facilities available that only a few contracts of this kind will turn out to be feasible or desirable. Training 5. The problem of training analysts for NIS work is inseparable from the broader problem of training people capable of doing competent research on various areas of the world. The principal. requirements for NIS analysts are a sound grounding in one or more of the major disciplines (e.g. economics, political science, history, military science) etc.) and some academic study in the language, institutions, and characteristics of an area of the world. No short program of special instruction can supply these qualifications, which can be furnished only by appropriate academic training. Such special skills as are peculiar to NIS production are best acquired by on-the-job training in the NIS program itself. 6. Any increase in the number of area specialists being turned out by the colleges and universities, and any improvement in methods of drawing such people into intelligence work will benefit the NIS program. The problem of ways of encouraging the universities to expand their area programs is one which CIA is considering jointly with the State Department. 96P SECRET E(RET -D- -r 13 March Approved For Release 29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 - 2 - Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 S-E--C-R-E-T IAC-D- 2 /3 15 August 1951 CONFLICT BETWEEN NIE 40 AND SECTIONS OF THE NIS Attached hereto is a memorandum from the Chairman of the Economic Intelligence Committee submitted for consideration at the IAC meeting on Thursday, 16 August 1951, with the purpose of obtain- ing a resolution of the conflict described.

The augmentation of NIS production proposed by the NIS Committee in its Special Report of 16 February 1951 was considered by the IAC on 15 March 1951. Essentially, the IAC agreed that, for the remainder of this fiscal year, the Intelligence Agencies will devote their efforts to building up their capabilities to at least an 8 NIS-a-year level. The IAC further agreed that at the end of this fiscal year this matter would again be considered with a view to determining the extent to which further augmentation should be carried. 2. The NIS Committee examined the production situation at its meeting of 29 May 1951. Current NIS production is roughly 50% of commitments, or at the rate of 4 NIS a year. Recruitment of personnel is slow in all of the Intelligence Agencies and it appears that authorized strength will not be reached before the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1952. In consequence, the full pro- duction of these staffs will not be reflected in the finished con- tributions from the Intelligence Agencies until the middle of next fiscal year. The NIS Committee anticipates, however, that the production schedule for fiscal year 1952, which calls for the equivalent of approximately 10 NIS, will generally be fulfilled. In this respect, attention is invited to paragraph 6 of NIS Committee Meeting No. 106, of 29 May 1951, which indicates the general pro- duction situation of each agency. (Excerpt attached) 3. The NIS Committee, therefore, believes that further reconsideration of the NIS Program by the IAC should be deferred until the capabilities of the presently authorized staffs in the several Intelligence Agencies can more accurately be appraised. Furthermore, the NIS Committee is of the opinion that no material advantage would be gained at this time from any current revision of the JCS Priority List, since scheduled NIS production for the next fiscal year will be proceeding on as broad a front as possible, including all highest priority areas and a large number of high priority areas.

Army - The personnel situation is uneven, particularly in some of the Technical Services where recruitment has been slow. In gen- eral terms, however, Army should be able to complete its alloca- tions for at least 8 NIS areas during FY 1952. Navy - Does not expect any substantial increase in production until authorized personnel have been recruited, which should be sometime during the summer. Navy expects to produce at the rate of 4 NIS during the first six months of FY 1952 but anticipates that its allocations in 8 NIS areas will be met by the end of FY 1952. Air Force - Expects that its authorized strength will be reached by September 1951. In this event Air Force should complete its allocations in approximately 10 NIS areas by the end of FY 1952. Scientific Intelligence Committee: The SIC has scheduled 4 Chapters VII (Scientific) for FY 1952 and may be able to produce one more before the end of the year. Since there are relatively few countries which have a real scien- tific potential, the slower production of Chapters VII will not unfavorably affect the overall completion dates for the highest priority areas.

This natter has been placed on the agenda at the request of General lee who is desirous of having TAG approval of the DCI's reply to the Secretary of Defense. It was thought vise at the saws time to seals approv al by those agencies concerned of the agreement by which CIA would represent the interests of State and the AEC in this matter. The P31 has declined to be associated with the Department of State, the AEC and CIA in this matter pretering to utilize its existing channels of Information with the Department of Defense. 2. It is likely that the broad question of CIA representation in Theaters of Operations will be precipitated collaterally with the dis- cussion on this subject unless it is held to be out of order in the present context. Coordination thus far achieved has been without prejudice to the problem of overall CIA representation in Theaters of Operations* The CIA position has been that it was not necessary to solve this problem in order to more ahead with the exploitation of captured xrces, and that the ultimate decision on CIA representation in the Zone of the Interior and in Theaters of Operation should be made at another time. 3.

On 6 December the Secretary of Defense requested the DCI to coordinate with the other interested non-Defense agencies the JCS recommendations for the exploitation of intelligence from captured sources. 2. These recommendations have been thoroughly explored by CIA in conjunction with the Department of State, the FBI, and the AEC, and with the designated team of the JIG, 3. The JCS recommendations cover directives establishing in the Zone of the Interior two agencies of the JCS for the exploi- tation respectively of such documents (ASPIC) and personnel (ASPIC) as may come under military jurisdiction in a Theater of Operations, and a third agency (JMIA) to coordinate the exploitation of materiel. Manuals detailing the operation of each of these agencies and pro- viding for their functioning in Theaters of Operation are under preparation by the Joint Staff in consultation with CIA. 4.

This representation is considered necessary in order to insure, through participation of the CIA within the Theater of Operations, that the selection and exploitation of documents, personnel, and materiel are accomplished as required by the intelligence needs of the non-military agencies and that appropriate items are consigned through Joint Centers in the Zone of the Interior to other suitable locations for non- military exploitation, SECRET IAC-D-1L 6 February 1951 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : CIA-RDP85S00362R0 ,J-~_1Q90001-8 6 February 1951 3. For the purposes of exploitation by the non-military agencies it may be necessary from time to time to associate personnel from the Department of State or the AEC with the CIA, representation at appropriate facilities in the Zone of the Interior, and to detail personnel from these agencies to CIA for representation in the Theater of Operations. It is moreover to the interest of these agencies for the CTA to maintain the closest possible liaison with MIA, in the allocation and consignment of materiel for non-military exploitation. Consignment for non- military exploitation would be without prejudice to the right of the Armed Services to control. the final disposition of the documents, personnel, and materiel selected. This fact would not be permitted to interf are with complete non-military exploi- tation of materiel. 1.'

On 6 December 1950 the Secretary of Defense requested the DCI to coordinate with the other interested non-Defense agencies JCS recommendations for the establishment of joint agencies in the Zone of the Interior for the exploitation of intelligence from captured documents (ASDIC), personnel (ASPIC), and materiel (JMIA). 2. On 8 February 1951 the IAC decided to defer action on this matter pending resolution of the related question of CIA representa- tion in Theaters of Operation. 3. By memorandum of 15 February, the Deputy Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff, invited reconsideration of this decision on the ground that CIA representation the Theaters of Operation does not bear closely enough on the matter under discus- sion to warrant delay and recommended that the IAC recommend forth- with to the Secretary of Defense that he approve the directives covering ASDIC, ASPIC, and JMIA, 4. Since the presentation of this subject to the IAC on 8 February, the proposed reply to the Secretary of Defense has been modified in two respects: a. To eliminate all reference to the Theaters of Operation, except in a general statement (paragraph 4); b. To provide for CIA to name an Assistant Director in ASDIC and ASPIC and a special adviser in JMIA, in order to ensure that the non-military aspects of these operations will receive adequate attention. 5. The following is attached for IAC approval: A memorandum from the DCI to the Secretary of Defense in reply to that cited in Paragraph 1, embodying the principles of non-military participation in the proposed agencies.

The proposed intelligence projects referred to me with your memorandum of 6 December 1950 have been taken up with the Department of State, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department of State, the AEC and the CIA have a common interest in being assured that documents, personnel and materiel will be readily accessible to these agencies for foreign intelligence exploitation. The FBI, while associating itself with the principles set forth in this memorandum, feels that its primary responsibility for internal security can best be met through direct liaison with respect to these sources. 2. The Department of State, the AEC, and the CIA agree that their common interest can most effectively and efficiently be served by being represented through the CIA, This representation is con- sidered necessary in order to insure that appropriate items are made available at suitable locations for non-military exploitation. 3.. For the purposes of exploitation by the non-military agencies it may be necessary from time to time to associate personnel from the Department of State or the AEC with the CIA representation at appropriate facilities. It is moreover to the interest of these agencies for the CIA to maintain the closest possible liaison with SECRET IAC-D-14/1 3 March 1951 Approved For Release 2003/Q'1.YAK.1,8-RDP85SO0362R000300090001-8 Approved For ReleW 2003/ 8RE1j-RDP85SO0362R00 0090001-8 SECRET IAC 141 3 March 1951 JMIA in the allocation and consignment of materiel for non-military exploitation. Consignment for non-military exploitation would be without prejudice to the right of the Armed Services to control the final disposition of the documents, personnel, and materiel selected. This fact would not be permitted to interfere with complete non- military exploitation. 4. The Department of State, the AEC, and the CIA believe that in order to meet their responsibilities with respect to intel- ligence of concern to the non-military agencies it will be necessary for CIA to have representation in theaters of operation. Recogniz- ing, however, that this broad question is now under discussion as a separate matter, it is not proposed to hold up the current directives pending its resolution. 5. Accordingly, CIA has the following changes to suggest in the wording of the directives so as to take account of the non- military needs; a. ASDIC and ASPIC, paragraph 4, add to section b: "and one appointed by CIA, to represent the interests of CIA, the Department of State and the AEC." b. JMIA, paragraph 3(c), change to read: "c. Insure that close liaison is maintained between JMIA and the various ZI intelligence exploitation agencies of the Armed Services as well as CIA so that:" SECRET IAC-D-141 3 March 1951 Approved For Release 2003/09/29 : t.A-RDP85S00362R000300090001-8 SECRET Approved For Rele ge 20011 EcA-RDP85SO0362ROd6in0090001-8 SECRET IAC-D-14/1 3 March 1951 c. JMIA, paragraph L+, add new section d: "The CIA, on behalf of the State Department and the Atomic Energy Commission, will name an adviser to the Director, JMIA, to ensure that the non-military aspects of the operation will receive appropriate attention." 6, This Agency welcomes the establishment of the proposed centers for the exploitation of captured documents, personnel, and materiel since these arrangements will very considerably assist it in discharging its present functions in these fields for the benefit of the other agencies of the Government. 7. The Intelligence Advisory Committee approved the principles and specific changes set forth in this memorandum at its meeting on 5 March 1951. On the basis of this concurrence, it is recommended that the Department of Defense proceed in accordance with these principles with the establishment of the organizations proposed in your memorandum.
