IC/83/3413

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
VIA: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Walter Elder
Executive Secretary
SUBJECT: DCI Directive Rescission
1. Action Requested: That you approve the recommendation to rescind
DCI Directive 1/3, 18 May 1976.
2. Background: This directive, "Committees of the Director of
Central Intelligence," (attached) was promulgated in December 1974 in an
effort to establish rules and procedures applicable to each and every
Intelligence Community committee. The directive also provided for oversight
of all the committees by the Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence Community.
The directive has been overtaken by events.
o First, the DCI has delegated responsibility to the DDCI for providing
general guidance to the committees and the IR&DC.
o Second, there are differences in how the individual committees
operate. For example, the CIPC has a charter which would not be appropriate
for, say, COMIREX or the SIGINT Committee.
o Third, in the process of reviewing the directives for the committees,
the composition and organization section was tailored to fit each committee's
functions.
o Finally, all the Committee chairmen have concurred in my
recommendation that DCID 1/3 be rescinded as superfluous and misleading.
What happens to the designation of the committees as "DCI committees"?
In my view, nothing. The role of the committees is to advise the DCI. Should
a chairman choose to call his committee a DCI committee, he may.
