STATEM1FT cr THE PROBLEMS
1. In considering CIAls par'ti4patioi in the foreign information
Programs and planning for wartime conduct of overt psychological
warfare, major problems are present:
a In combining MSC -4 and NSC-43 into a new
language should be inserted in order to legally express the
role and mission of CIA?
b. In order to discharge such r
CIA propose for an organization and. a statint of :Unctions?
C. What action ahead be taken concerning i ion of the
request of the JIG dated May 1949?
d. What action Should be taken concerning d
letter from Mr. Armstrong to the DCI dated 7
ion of the
r 1949?
a. The combined interdepartmental coordinating Btaff treated
ender ESC-4 and RSC-43, as its first tasks has been attempting
leiLtogi_Atmon to write a eingle RSC directive which will
awes into one paper the functions and responsibilities created
respectivelyby? these two papers*. One of the major queations
under consideration hue been the role &admission of CIA under
rash a single combined directive and staff. There is a problem
treated because of the conflicting language in the two directives
under consideration. aNSC-4 dated December 9, 1947 relates to
the Coordination of Foreign Information Measure while RSC-43
dated lUarch 22, 1949 relates to the Planning for Wartime Conduct
of Overt Psyehological Warfare.

The arguments were basically that (a) no

stated in the National Security Act; that
responsibilities were emitted they mast be necessarily

the need for and the usefulness of a full-time CIA

tioe and Messrs. Childs and Babbitt have been aware of
the related problem of discharging CIA's responsibilities
outlined by the language of the BSC papers (see below).
In order to obtain a specific responsibility for CIA
in the combined paper, Messrs. Shannon and Childs ap-
proved the insertion of language similar to Par. 10 of
NSC-4 in the event that no stronger commitment could be
obtained. Because of the orginal language of NSC-43 and
in the light of a negotiated understanding between the
DCI and Mr. Armstrong concerning the functioning of the
psychological Warfare intelligence committee, the
Department of State member on the MSC-43 staff wbuld
accept no stronger language for Par. 5 of the draft

a. In June of this year CIA proposed to the Special Assistant for
Research and Intelligence, Department of State, that a
con-
rnitt.. be created within CIA for the purpose of considering
problems arising from the request of the JIC and frmn a general
coneideration of the problems of psychological warfare. In
August a reply was received in general agreeing with the com-
mittee concept but stating that such a committee should func-
tion under the BSC-43 organisation.
b. As a result of this disagreement the DCI and the Special
Assistant had a conversation. I was subsequently informed by
Mr. Childs and received later corroboration through Mr. Oechsner

psychological warfare intelligence committee will

by its CIA chairman and without interference by the
ganisation; otherwise CIA will now untlaterally
tablieh its own committee on psychological warfare
elligence. He further feels that the CIA representation
with* MSC-43 staff should he a part-time one.
Of course while such a course is possible, it would be con-
trary to the understanding that State now has. it would
render impossible the conduct of relation, between CIA and
OIR except under the most strained conditions with every
eonversation being reduced to writing; and it would destroy
the existing favoreble position that has been built up within
the pest year and a half for CIA in the area of operations for
which the Assistant Secretary of Stet. for Public Affairs is
responsible.
In sonsequenoe, if I have correctly understood Ur. Stevens
aeourstmly stated his position, I must say I thoroughly dis-
agree with it.
It is unrealistic to assume that an intelligee officer func-
tions in a theoretical vacuum divorced from operations* LAT
combat experience I have had has taught me that the closer the
cperations officer ce44 work with the intelligence officer the
better will be the operation. The struggle of the intelligence
officer is to be invited to participate and to establish
his credibility. Intelligence is only a tool of the commandiog
officer and if he doesn't want to use it that's his responsi-
bility. That is equally true of psychological warfare as it is
of combat.
i. Accordingly, having been now invited by. the SC-43 staff in the
now draft directive to participate at both the Consultative
sad fall-time staff member levels, it is my thought that we
eoght to continue the course we are currently steering and im-
mediately form an ad hoe intelligens* committee to function
vith a CIA chairman under the NSC-43 organisation, leaving the
queetbn of the charter and personnel of such committee to be
resolved br COOS and, if necessary, the IAC.
J. Path. purpose of immediately forming such an intelligence
sommittee I suggest that a letter similar to the one at TAB
be sent out requesting nominations. For the further purpose
of having COAPS and the /AC agree on a statement of mission
and functions for such a committee, I propose for consideration

eider the request of the JSP( and, if necessary, expand it to make
of it a definitive statement of intelligence requirements useful
for psychological warfare planning. It is then propoeed that the
IWO mould (1) determine what current research is in process, both
within and ontside the Government structure, which would be useful
to the completion of such projects; (2) would allocate new projects
in order to completely satiety the existing intelligence require-
ments; (3) would monitor the completion of euch projects.
The IWG would, in addition, proceed 'with the planning of

effort. In determining the existence of, or in placing,
with extra-government research organisations, the team of

In the ensuing meek, it is hoped that agreement can be
reached on the composition of the IWG and that, as soon as the pe
sonnel of such staff is named, immediate work can proceed concerning
both the request of the JSPO and the planning of intelligence support
for psychological warfare. Among other things, it is thought that
perhaps within two weeks after the group starts to fenction, a report
will be forthcoming on the status of the extra-government research
usefel in this operation. Several estimates have been made of a
minimum of about one year required to complete the intelligence
thought to be useful for peychological warfare planning. It is pos-
sible that priorities can be established 'herein certain projects
can be completed much sooner than the period of one year. It is
also thought that periodic reports can indicate the rate of progress
of the research projects.
