A. Reviewed the intelligence production of each
of the agencies represented to determine adequacy of
coverage to support national and agency requirements;
B. Considered, in general terms, the adequacy of
intelligence collection to support national and agency
requirements;
C. Reviewed procedures for interagency coordina-
tion in intelligence production and collection; and
D. Almost completed a general review of collection
problems and deficiencies area by area.
II. Significant gaps in LAC intelligence production have been noted.
The LAC collection agencies have pointed out the difficulties involved
in correcting these deficiencies. Amelioration of these problems is
believed to be possible through a combination of improved inter-agency
coordination, more precise and timely statements of requirements,
and by the allocation of specialized personnel to field collection.
III. Future Plans
The Committee intends:
A. To complete its general survey of intelligence collection
and evaluation noted above;
B. To prepare a report to the IAC on the results of the
general survey with suggestions for priorities and future appropriate
action; and
C. To shape its future work in accordance with the findings and
proposals of the above report.
IV. Recommendations
1. That the IAC take note of this interim report.
Z. That the IAC approve the plan for continuing operations of
the CC outlined above.
