MEMORANDUM. FOR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
SUBJECT: DCI Report on the Community to the President's
Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board
1. Confirming the discussion at he staff meeting this
morning, it would be very helpful to have a short statement for
incorporation in the Director's annual report to 'C'AB on
"Coordination of the U. S. Foreign Intelligence _Ho.` ..'` The rele-
vant headings of the report on which DDS&T submiz~ .c.,_; would be
helpful are:
a. Major problems existing in the coci:dination
of the intelligence community.
b. Significant gaps, deficiencies and undesirable
duplication of the various U. S. intelligence agencies.
c. Specific actions to strengthen the effectiveness
of the over-all intelligence effort.
2. We are all agreed that this report should be short. The
submissions .mom DDS&T don't need to be more than two or three pages.
3. Ruf Taylor may well have been right in that the
report can be made more meaningful, as well as sheis is not
exactly what I meant to say. Personally I think the ea_: -eports
were excel!--lit and very informative, but I am of course lD_~?,:judiced.
In the previous reports, however, I did come down rather heavily on
such questions as the needs of the community for activities; the problem
of allocating resources; the functioning of USIB committees; information
handling; etc. This year it occurred to me that it might be possible to
give the report a somewhat more substantive flavor or at least better
focus on problems relating to the actual analysis and disse..uination of

substantive information. Some of the material already submitted in
connection with the Agency's report to the PFIAB may be relevant.
Both OSI and FMSAC probably have some material, however, that is
directly relevant to the subject of this report.
4. I am attaching a copy of last year's report for what
interest it may have.
