Both civilians and the military have important roles in the intelligence process. Generally speaking, the military has special. intelligence requirements which are related to its combat mission. This means that the military must have its own intelligence capability with respect to both collection and analysis of information. Military intelligence, therefore, can be viewed as supplementing the more broad and strategic efforts of the civilian agencies. Civilians and the military have relatively independent roles in the field though there is coordination as appropriate to avoid duplication and. assure full coverage. The coordination in the production process allows the civilian agencies to take exception to conclusions by the military in. national estimates and the military can take similar exceptions to conclusions made by the civilian agencies. This process allows the policy makers to make their decisions based on national estimates which fully cover all sides of the issues involved. . It is the best assurance that estimates are not slanged or biased either in favor of the military or the civilian agencies. The CIA. is institutionally insulated from such bias because it has no policy role. 8. Should there be more than one statutory deputy to the DCI? What should their respective roles be? Who should act for the DCI in his absence? What should be the civilian-military make-up of the DCI and his principal deputies? Yes. I think there should be two statutory deputies. As you know, the DCI wears two hats. He is the executive head of the CIA, and, as the principal foreign intelligence officer of the Government, he also has certain general administrative responsibilities with respect to the entire Intelligence Community. The Director's duties in administering the Intelligence Community, handling relations with other components of the Government, and passing on broad questions of policy leave him little time for day-to-day supervision of the Agency. I think the Director needs a deputy to assist him in each of his two roles. This was one of the recommendations of the Rockefeller Commission Report. The two deputies concept is also reflected in the recently issued Executive Order 1.1905, which directs the DCI to delegate the day-to-day operation of the CIA to the Deputy Director and which creates the position of "Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence for the Intelligence Community" to assist the DCI in his supervision of the Intelligence Community. I think this latter administratively-cre;.ted position should be upgraded to a statutory one, because I think t is important that both deputies be politically responsible officials- -appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Approved For Release 2005/08/03 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100100060-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/03 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100100060-3 As to who should act for the DCI in his absence, I think that generally the Deputy for the Agency would continue handling Agency matters and the Deputy for the Intelligence community could deal with Community matters. Responsibility in a few "gray" areas could be apportioned by internal directive. Finally, I think the question of the civilian-military make-up is largely a policy question for Congress to decide, although I think that it would be generally appropriate for a. military man to assist the DCI in Community matters while continuing the present arrange- ment. of having at least one civilian in. the two top Agency positions. 9. What changes need to be made in the National. Security Act of 1947? The CIA and intelligence community have somewhat outgrown the National Security Act. I believe the Act should be amended to reflect the DCI's dominant role for the intelligence community as a whole. Additionally, the prohibitions on CIA are worded in very broad and vague terms; some of these can be inconsistent with. the positive responsibilities levied by the Act, such as the DCI's responsibility to protect intelligence sources and methods. I believe these inconsistencies should be clarified. I believe Senator Stennis' bill, introduced in the 93rd Congress, does this to a great extent. 10. What are the strengths and weaknesses of E. 0. 11905? What role does it create, beyond the National Security Act, for the DDCI? I think it is too early to detect weaknesses in the Order. Certainly none have surfaced yet. On the other hand, its strengths are obvious. For the first time, the respective authorities and responsibilities of the various intelligence agencies and departments have been delineated and clarified; provision has been made for strong central supervision and direction of intelligence activities by the DCI; strong internal and external oversight mechanisms have been established to assure that intelligence activities are proper and lawful; and detailed restrictions on intelligence activities have been spelled out in order to safeguard the civil liberties of the American people. The Director's duties in administering the intelligence cOTnmurAt handling relations with other components of the Government, and -. passing on broad qu ,~stions of policy leave him little time for day u 90 day supervision of tl.e Agency. Therefore, Executive Order 11. IA tarn directs the DCI to de: egate the day-to-day operation of the C the Deputy Director fbr Central Intelligence.
