Recamntendation a: "J8IB reaffirm the high priority for
ntellig a ac ivi t v =mast Communist China, endorse the
need for developing so, strong intelligence f(rito base and an
intelligence coapetenee against China cor ensurate with that
against other highest priority targets.:'
ant: It is believed that any statement by USIF
concerning the - iority to be accorded a subject or an area
should be make in the context of the current, approved
Priority National Intelligence Objectives (DCLD If3}, To
do otherwise would tend to undereine the bases of the existing

USID's true intentions. Accordingly, it is suggested that
this recommendation be reworded as follc "USIh call to
the attention of member agencies the substantive intelligence
=roble relating to Communist China set forth in the current
O CID 1/3, Priority N b oral Intelligence t7bjectives, and
endorse the need for developing a strong data base and an
intelligence competence against Communist China in accordance
therewith. >'

Comment: As indicated above, we believe that staLeaent?r

that augmented research support is required, believe that
