allocated as production and maintenance responsibilities
to Central Intelligence Agency and/or to those other
departments or agencies of the Government which are
best qualified by reason of mission, production
capability, and primary interest to assume the production
and maintenance responsibilities. To ensure the
production of the basic intelligence required by the
Government and the fullest possible use of current
departmental and agency capabilities, changes in the
outline or allocations of production and maintenance
responsibilities shall be effected by agreement between
the Director of Central Intelligence and the departments
and agencies concerned.
NSCID No.-3, para. 6
Each department or agency, taking full cognizance of
the facilities of the other agencies, shall maintain
adequate research facilities to accomplish its depart-
mental intelligence production mission and to provide
such additional intelligence within its field of
primary responsibilities as may be necessary to satisfy
other requirements relating to the national security.
