MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Fine Arts Commission
SUBJECT : The Intelligence Museum
REFERENCE : Memo to ExDir from C/FAC dtd 30 Jun 72,
Subj: Intelligence Museum Concept
1. Thank you for .this excellent review. Your points with respect
to the need to capture our material as the first priority .are well taken,
arranging the showing of it later as appropriate. Also, I think it im-
portant that we recognize the compartmented nature of the Agency at
work and not try, to centralize all the material in ane Agency museum.
2. The organizational. problem of how to approach this subject is
closely analagous to that, of the producti.an of Agency histories. Here
we have the same compartrnentation problem, central indexing, early
capture, etc. In addition, I confess some disinclination to seeing the
establishment of separate committees or commissions when the func-
tion can be consolidated into an existing one.
3. I would suggest, therefore, that we use the Historical Pro-
gram as the vehicle for developing a museum prop-rain. T.he Historical
Program already has an Agency Historical Staff, Directorate Historical
Officers, etc. I would thus suggest that, after these. initial probes into
the general subject, we bring this- matter under the aegis of the Histori-
cal Staff and Program for continued movement along the .excellent lines
you have outlined.
4. Could you review these papers with this thought in xr~ind, after
which we will have a basis upon which to go to the Deputies.
