(UHATIITY) From the Archives: In 1979, NSC Concludes, "We Need More Penetrations of Terrorist
Organizations"
(Utharrtr)9n January 1979, the Policy Review Committee on Intelligence outlined a need for more intelligence on
terrorist organizations in a National Security Counsel (NSC) staff assessment that was recently reviewed by the DCI
team at the CIA Declassification Center. The study was prepared under the guidance of President Carter's National
Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinslci. The Policy Review Committee concluded, "Information on terrorism to date
has been adequate for the size of the terrorist activity we have faced. The past, however, is not a sound basis for the
future with terrorism. Much more information about organization, activities, connections, and operational plans of
terrorist groups in the Middle East, Western Europe, Japan, and Latin America is needed. FBI domestic efforts need
closer coordination with CIA external collection in this regard. The moderate success we have had ... in the past ...
can only be duplicated in the future if we achieve more penetrations of terrorist organizations."

combined. The letters have undergone treatment that would kill any potential anthrax spores. That treatment has
made some ot the letters very brittle, crumbling to the touch.
