A. Organizational Arrangements - The Directorate of
25X1A
Science and Technology, the successor to the Directorate of
Research, was created in August 1963 to increase the
resources for science and technology being applied to
intelligence problems. Throughout FY 64, we gave heavy
emphasis to the creation and early organization of the new
structure. The present structure of the Directorate and
missions and functions of the separate Offices are shown
in Attachment A.
It will be noted that a Special Projects Staff has
been established as a line component of the Directorate.
It has been assigned responsibility for CIA participation
in national level satellite reconnaissance undertakings.
Currently, it is involved in developmental work on
Attachment B shows the organizational units against the
functional elements of the intelligence processes of
"requirements-through-estimates." It will be apparent that
functions have been assigned in such a way that the classic
intelligence processes can be handled from requirements
through equipment development and collection phases, on to
data reduction and analysis, and finally to the production
of an intelligence report within this single Directorate.
The integration of DD/S&T within the established
structure of CIA has been accomplished satisfactorily, and

efficient internal coordination procedures are in existence.
The responsibilities of the Directorate also involve extensive
coordination throughout the intelligence structure of the
Department of Defense. While much progress has been made,
the greatest problem in this area continues to be found in
the field of overhead reconnaissance.
Throughout the following text I have listed, in accord
with your format, some concrete results which are benefitting
to the national intelligence efforts--my reports of 23 December,
23 June, and 18 August, will amplify these statements in
some cases.

D. Intelligence Collection Requirements - The intelli-
gence collection requirements of the DD/S&T emerge from two
distinct sources. First, there is a need for support to
operational planning by OSA and For example in OSA,
current and accurate information is needed on the air
25X1
defense systems of the Sino-Soviet Bloc in order to
decrease the risk to penetration/reconnaissance aircraft.
Requirements are also generated in OSI, FMSAC, and 25X1
during the analysis of data and the production of estimates
and reports. The analyst is the first to become aware of
gaps in raw data--these he translates into new requirements
for the collectors.
OSI/DD/S&T has been particularly active in FY 64 in
detailing scientific and technical requirements for
clandestine and overt collection sources and overhead
reconnaissance. The Office now has over
general or 25X1D
specific requirements outstanding with collectors in the
field. They have worked closely with the Collection
Guidance Staff of DD/I with a view towards better state-
ments of requirements, more complete coordination, and
effective methods of levying them via Agency or other USIB
channels.

in consonance with DD/P, then
tasks the most appropriate assets to collect the required
data, these assets generally being Third Party 25X1A
technical units, or clandestine agents.
FMSAC is generating an increasing number of require-
ments specifically directed to technical facets of missile
and space fields; FMSAC works effectively through GMAIC,
OSI, orl lin levying these on proper collectors.
The coordination and finalization of requirements for
overhead reconnaissance systems, both manned aircraft and
satellite, and fort las well as photography, is con-
ducted by the Committee on Overhead Reconnaissance (COMOR).
This subcommittee of the USIB is the pre-eminent mechanism
in the Community for stimulating and coordinating require-
ments, and functions with a good degree of satisfaction to
its community-wide participants. The Office of Special
Activities maintains liaison with COMOR in order to keep
abreast of the present and future collection problems and
to advise the committee members on operational factors.
A computer-driven information storage and retrieval
system developed for COMOR by the Office of Computer
Services makes a significant contribution to the optimum
use of the overhead reconnaissance systems operated by OSA
or other activities. This system quickly makes available

target identification data, historical data on collection
requirements and past coverage, and past COMOR decisions.
It thus provides a broad and accessible data base for the
committee members when generating new requirements for

Operational Activities - The Office of Special Activities
is the principal unit in the Agency concerned with opera-
tional aspects of photographic reconnaissance; aside from
increasing its utilization of the subsonic U-2 aircraft
systems in FY 64, it participated in the development of
supersonic aircraft and space vehicles as collection plat-
forms. Most of the work done by OSA falls under Program B
of the National Reconnaissance Program on which the Board
receives separate reports.
Project IDEALIST employed U-2 aircraft over denied
areas to obtain high-resolution photography for technical
intelligence usage. From two permanent operating bases
personnel, aircraft, and equip-
ment was staged to locations throughout the world to satisfy
requirements of the intelligence community. Since early
1964 a special effort has been underway to refine a new
capability which has allowed the U-2 to deploy, launch, and
recover on Navy carriers. The IDEALIST program provided
particularly valuable information from flights over Mainland

continues to provide strong support to a wide range of S&T
activities, with no indication of a cutback in key areas
because of current budgetary problems. We see continued
large-scale Soviet programs covering almost all areas of
military and industrial technology. Some areas of basic
research, e.g., high-energy physics and radio astronomy,
have been curtailed, however, and could ultimately impair
Soviet capabilities. Nevertheless, our analysis points to
an all-out effort to counter the Western offensive superi-
ority by creating a significant strategic and tactical
offensive capability and to build up the industrial and
technical base to support future expansion. In addition,
our increased efforts in the last year directed toward non-
Bloc areas, particularly in the AE and missiles fields,
have contributed to recent National Estimates on the ad-
vanced weapons capabilities of
the UAR, France,
Cuba, and Indonesia. The following highlights some of our

Atomic Energy - In the last year good quality photo-
graphy of plutonium production sites provided a basis for
sharply decreasing the range of uncertainty in our estimate
of future cumulative Soviet plutonium-equivalent production.
A substantial analytical effort provided much improved
identification of many of the specific nuclear warheads
currently stockpiled for use with Soviet missile systems.
Similarly, a better understanding of Soviet weapon techno-
25X6
logy and of weapon development practices and lead times was
obtained.
Considerable progress was made in our study of non-
Soviet atomic energy programs. An inspection of the

cut back fissionable materials production. The non-Soviet
nuclear and potential nuclear powers will be carefully
watched. We expect during the next year to clear up many
of the present uncertainties regarding the Chinese atomic
energy program.
Missiles and Space - Soviet ICBM development and
testing remained at a high level during the past year and
several significant achievements have been detected. Flight
testing began of two new ICBM's, designated the SS-9 and
SS-10. The SS-9 is related in many ways to the highly
reliable and extensively deployed SS-7, but is larger and
may be more accurate. The SS-10 is still too early in its
flight test program to permit a determination of its
characteristics.
We have no direct evidence of the imminent emergence
of a large Saturn-type flight booster for 100 MT delivery
or space application. However, the Soviets have static
thrust stands capable of handling these sizes, and this,
coupled with the construction of large launch complexes at
Tyuratam, leads us to anticipate the development of such a
system in the near term. In view of the lack of evidence
of high-energy propellants, these systems will probably
incorporate the propellants now utilized in the SS-9 and 10P

increasing. The new construction is intended to support
current and future diversification in both the Soviet ICBM
and space programs.
We believe that the Soviets are engaged in a deliber-
ately planned and paced manned lunar program not competitive
with the announced U.S. program. We believe the Polyot

and that the first significant step may be the establish-
ment of a space station after a series of multimanned

The Chinese Communists' ballistic missile program
continues at a slow pace and we have no evidence of their
intentions, although we suspect they may be involved in a
native program to develop an MRBM for nuclear weapon
delivery. This is supported by the existence of a test
range and a number of static test stands capable of
handling both liquid and solid propellants suitable for
this purpose.
Air and Missile Defense - Our principal contributions
in the past year to the analysis of Soviet air defense
capabilities have been a re-analysis of the Soviet missile
and a computer
simulation of the SAM system. Our analysis now shows that
the Soviets were probably launching antimissile missiles (AMMs)
against target missiles as early as 1960. Analysis con-
clusively shows that the Soviets have not launched AMMs
against ICBMs, but the community now agrees with the OSI
analysis that the Soviet ABM system could intercept ICBMs
and IRBMs with almost equal effectiveness.
Analysis of Soviet air defense missiles, such as the
GRIFFON, and air defense complexes, such as those around
Leningrad, are receiving concentrated study. OSI analysis
clearly shows GRIFFON to be a very good air defense missile.
Our future efforts will focus on determining the true role

storage and retrieval of this information.
The Control Room of FMSAC now receives all-source
information and publishes daily summaries of missile and
space activities and more comprehensive reports which
"wrap up" all known data on each important event.
The Office of Scientific Intelligence participated in
a community-wide, comprehensive review of present and
anticipated capabilities to detect foreign nuclear tests
and the preparation to the report to USIB related to Safe-
guard D of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. In addition, they
provided support in the field of atomic energy intelligence
to the AEC for the United States/USSR meeting on nuclear
desalination. OSI routinely provided support to GMAIC
at the many working groups on missile systems and space
vehicles, and engaged in a survey and evaluation of intelli-
gence community requirements for information on the Soviet
space program involving a survey of space-related contri-
butions from all collection assets. The degree of community
and industry cooperation in collection and analytical
activities for the high-priority fields of nuclear energy
and missiles and space has been at a very satisfying level
during FY 64.

F. Screening Raw Intelligence - DD/S&T offices routinely
screen SIGINT, agent reports, ELINT information, photography,
and all other forms of raw intelligence in order to exploit its
substance and provide a feedback to improve the quantity and
quality of collections. ; The management of the assets within
DD/S&T as a single unit provides a convenient way for preventing
overlap or duplication in this information handling and reporting.
For example, the OSI reports on the systems aspects of
25X1
Soviet missiles and space programs, whereas FMSAC is
limited to the analysis of
this is in contrast to
the long-range studies in depth which are performed within
25X1A
OSI or by its contractors, such as
25X1A
The volumes of data which can be screened by an
individual analyst or an office is dependent upon the back-
ground knowledge against which the information is read, the speed
of the analyst, and the amount of information similar to that
being screened. The Office of Computer Services is
developing computer systems and programs to process and
store and retrieve intelligence information in various
ways; it will be several years before this can be useful in
first echelon screening of raw intelligence but it does hold
considerable promise. This is discussed further under Project

G-1. Intelligence Production Current Intelligence-
Because of tie generally increased emphasis on current
intelligence, the OSI has created a special staff to facilitate
the meeting of priority demands for current intelligence
reporting on scientific and technical problems of national
interest. Steps have been taken to publish shorter, more
concise, and more timely articles in the monthly SID, SIB,'s,
and ad hoc memoranda. Publication of a new daily, the
SURVEYOR, which contains brief current intelligence items and
comments of immediate interest, has been initiated. In
addition, the office has increased its contributions of
S&T items to other Agency publications, particularly the
CIB and Weekly Reports of the Office of Current Intelligence,
DD/I. The Scientific Intelligence Digest for the first time
is being disseminated to selected members of the President's
Scientific Advisory Board and to certain OSI consultants.
FMSAC produces a Daily Missile and Space Summary,
which is a

extremely close relations with the Military Division of
the Office of Current Intelligence and is therefore able
to provide continuing and effective support to that office.

the Office of Computer Services. Presently containing
over 100 items of information on more than 1,000 past
events, the system provides for rapid display of pertinent
segments of historical data so organized as to facilitate

be the most complete and detailed machine language files
in the Intelligence Community on Soviet missile test
range activities.

G-2. NIE's and SNIE's - The most significant outlet for
the analysis and research undertaken by OSI is in the form
of National Estimates; contributions were made to 20 such
Estimates during FY 64 and about 20 per cent of the total
effort of the OSI is devoted to this form of production.
The Office makes its contributions directly or through
three of the technical committees of USIB (GMAIC, JAEIC,
and SIC). The Office provides active support to the Agency
policy of establishing these committees as the focal point
for the community coordination of scientific and technical
intelligence. As in previous years, OSI made major contri-
butions,to the primary Soviet estimates (atomic energy,
air and missile defense, space, chemical warfare, strategic
attack, and general purpose forces), as well to estimates on
25X1A France, UAR and 0~ Cuba, 1, and India. The Office
contributions to National Estimates are based on a foundation
of intelligence analysis and research, internal and external,
which is published as part of the scheduled office program
or ad hoc studies.
OSI provides the Chairman and Secretariat of the
Scientific Intelligence Committee as well as Chairmen and
becretariats for the following: BW-CW Subcommittee; Electro-
nics Subcommittee; Medical Intelligence Subcommittee; and the
Priority Scientific and Technical Working Group. The Office
has provided active support to these and other components of

SIC and has contributed to several interdepartmental
scientific intelligence studies and estimates covering a
wide gamut of science and technology. Of particular signi-
ficance is the committee's contribution to a national
estimate assessing the Soviet biological warfare program.
The committee's estimate is that there is no major offensive
BW program in the Soviet Union, a reversal of the previous
estimate. Currently, the SIC is nearing completion of a
study on the potential capabilities of various nations to
develop an offensive biological or chemical warfare pro-
gram. Under the SIC a task force program for collection of
critical area medical information for rapid use has been
organized which marshals Agency collection services and is
coordinated with USIB interests via the Medical Intelligence
Subcommittee. Life Sciences Division/SI has become the

G-3. - National Intelligence Survey - The OSI has
revamped its program of NIS participation during this
reporting period to comply with the reoriented NIS program.
Scientific sections of the NIS are now being done on a world
wide basis rather than the formerly limited basis. OSI will
now prepare contributions, on areas with a recognizable
scientific capability, for the summary Section 7 which has
replaced the lengthy scientific Chapter VII. In addition
to its own contributions OSI also provides, through the
SIC Secretariat, the coordination and editorial staff for
the portions prepared by the DOD agencies.
OCS has under development Project EPIC (Electronic
Printing of Intelligence Composition), a system which will
link the computer and advanced photocomposing equipment
to produce page makeup automatically in the printing
function. The major printing task for Project EPIC is the
NIS. EPIC will, of course, contribute to the mechanics
of printing the NIS and not to the substance. .

In March 1964 a Contractors and Consultants Seminar
was held at Headquarters to review and discuss missile and
space intelligence. Over 100 specialists in fields ranging
from radiation belt research, biomedicine, spacecraft,
missile facilities, and missile systems participated in the
discussions. Papers which were presented are now being
prepared for publication in a final report on the Seminar.
We expect to continue this seminar as an annual event to
stimulate and coordinate the analysis of technical information
from all collection sources
During the year the Office of Scientific Intelligence
produced contributions to 20 NIE's, 20 NIS's and, as finished
reports, 40 editions of the Scientific Intelligence Digest
and 85 SIR's or SIM's. This latter production formed the
base from which the NIE and NIS productions could be formu-
lated.

I. Research and Development - In view of the recency
and completeness of my memoranda on research and development,
there is little additional to report at this time. As
stated in the final paragraph of my letter of 18 August,
our progress in S&T areas under the present DD/S&T leader-
ship showed good improvements during FY 64. We expect a
continuing, orderly growth; however, in view of budgetary
cutbacks for FY 65 and 66 our planned programs will be
stretched out over a longer period of time.
An area of continuing research and development in both
equipment and personnel is that of computer applications.
Upon the formation of DD/S&T in August1963, the Agency
assets in computers were transferred from the support
elements to the DD/S&T and upgraded to the position of an
Office. OCS is now the Agency's central computer facility
and services all four Directorates of the Agency under its
mission to develop and coordinate automatic data processing
activities.
A large-scale scientific computer (IBM 7090) was
acquired and installed in the CIA Computer Center along with
OCS computing activities cover a wide
range of applications from intelligence information storate
and retrieval systems through scientific ormathematical
applications. Included in OCS's computing functions are
problem analysis, EDP systems design, computer programming,
and operation of computer and related equipment.

J. Scientific and Technical - The organization of
scientific and technical resources for intelligence was
discussed at length in my letters of 23 December 1963,
23 June 1964, and 18 August 1964. The only changes there-
from have been slight ones reflecting reduced authori-
zations for personnel for assignment to FMSAC and ORD /)
Figure reflects the relationship between the
USIB and its subcommittees and the Agency management
arrangements for handling scientific and technical intelli-
gence. Production of S&T intelligence by OSI1
FMSAC is channelled through the GMAIC, JAEIC, SIC, and
ommittees and in most cases senior line officers
of the Agency act as Chairmen of these subcommittees of
USIB. This provides good substantive coordination to
most facets of technical intelligence production and
statements of requirements and in some, but not all, cases
a strong influence over collection assets.
In its collection, coordination, and intelligence'
production functions, the DD/S&T operates under the
following arrangements with the members of the intelligence
community.

(2) The responsibility for the Agency's production
of finished intelligence on all foreign scientific and
technical activities rests with the Office of Scientific
Intelligence, under the authority of NSCID 3, DCID 3/3 for
atomic energy, DCID 3/4 for guided missiles and astronautics,
and DCID 3/5 for other scientific and technical intelli-
gence. The OSI program for the production of intelligence
on scientific and technical matters is planned on the
basis of Comprehensive National Objective in DCID 1/2 and
PNIO's in DCID 1/3 and quarterly supplements thereto.
(3) The Office of Special Activities carries out
its development and operational functions under appropriate
current agreements between the Secretary of Defense and
the Director of Central Intelligence. Presently applicable
documents are those signed on 2 May 1962 which established
the National Reconnaissance Office, and on 24 January and
13 March 1963 which delineate management and organizational
detail.
