MEMORANDUM FOR: National Foreign Intelligence Board
Principals
SUBJECT: Counterterrorist Center's (CTC)
Interagency Role
1. The DCI's Counterterrorist Center (CTC) was created to
centralize the intelligence resources engaged in the
counterterrorist effort. As in the case of the Counternarcotics
Center, the CTC has important Community responsibilities. I am
strengthening this aspect of CTC's mission by designating its
Chief as Special Assistant to the DCI for Counterterrorism, and by
assigning the Center tasks which were formerly the province of the
National Intelligence Officer for Counterterrorism (NI/CT), a
position I have decided to abolish. The effective date of this
change is 1 August 1989.
2. Because CTC is at the heart of the information flow, I
believe strengthening its Community support role will improve
efficiency, benefit all involved agencies, and strengthen our
collective performance in this vital area. I urge you to give it
your active support.

Director of Central Intelligence

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
DRAFT
FROM: Frederick A. Turco
DO/Chief of Operations for Counterterrorism
SUBJECT: Community Coordination Group
REFERENCE: Memorandum from the DCI to NFIB of 18 July 1989
(This is how we plan to carry out these responsibilities
should the Director sign this memorandum. We will convey this to
the Community if it meets with your approval.)
1. To accommodate the transfer of additional Intelligence
Community functions to the Counterterrorist Center as spelled out
in the DCI's July memorandum to NFIB, I am creating the Community
Coordination Group. The Group will be headed by a senior officer
from the Intelligence Community, assisted by a staff of four
persons. The Group will be responsible for developing a strategy
to address the intelligence needs of government agencies engaged
in counterterrorist business.
2. The Chief of the Community Coordination Group will serve
as Chairman, Interagency Intelligence Committee on Terrorism
(IICT), and will manage the National Counterterrorist Threat
Warning System. The Community Coordination Group will be
organized to maintain the Community DESIST and FLASHBOARD
information dissemination and handling systems, and provide
management for follow on systems.
3. The position of Chief is not yet filled. Intelligence
Community agencies are encouraged to submit the names of
candidates for an SIS position. Names can be forwarded to my
Deputy, who will be responsible for fulfilling these
responsibilities pending selection of a Chief of the Community
Coordination Group. The mailing address for the Group is CTC,
Telephone numbers are,
A Table of Organization for the Community
Coordination Group is attached.
