SUBJECT' : Status of National Security Programs on
June 30, 1957
REFERENCES: A. NSC 5611
B. NSC 5707/8
The President has directed that the departments and agencies
responsible for the several national security programs prepare
annually reports on the status of those programs for the information
of the President and the National Security Council. As requested by
the President, these reports should emphasize primarily trends as of
the reporting date in comparison with the date of the preceding report
(in this case, June 30, 1956) and similar dates in future years so far
as they can be reasonably projected. Such trends should be expressed
in terms of an integrated appraisal of the status of each program in
achieving the objectives set forth in applicable national security policies,
particularly NSC 5707/8. This appraisal should take into.account not
only developments in the U. S. program but also developments else-
where in the Free World and in the Soviet Bloc which affect the ability
of the program to achieve policy objectives. The President has further
directed that each status report be as concise as possible consistent
with adequate presentation.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Central Intelligence Agency,
in consultation with other departments and agencies as may be appro-
priate, and with the assistance of the NSG Staff, submit not later than
September 1, 1957, a report on the status of the foreign intelligence
program as of June 30, 1957. The content of this report should follow
the general lines of Part 7 of NSC 5611 but should exclude Annexes B
and C.
