SUBJECT: Minutes of the 14 May Meeting of the Committee
on Foreign Intelligence
1. Minutes of the meetings of 30 April and 4 May were
approved without.change. The Committee agreed to provide minutes
of the 4 May meeting to the National Reconnaissance Office since
the NRP had been the sole topic of the 4 May session.
2.?. The package of revised NSCIDs No. 1 through No. 8
which.had been provided the members for review was approved for
forwarding to the National Security Council. Mr. Hyland advised
that since the Senate Select Committee report had published parts
of the existing NSCIDs, and a court suit for release-of NSCIDs
under FOIA was pending, there was some question in the NSC staff
as to what should be done with the revised NSCIDs. If the existing
ones are released under FOIA, and the revisions reflect changes
called for by an unclassified Executive Order 11905, there is need
to strengthen the basis on which the new NSCIDs can be defended as
classified documents. Mr. Hyland distributed a Department of
Justice input as to suggested wording of the NSCID preamble. Mr.
Ellsworth said it probably would be necessary to rewrite the NSCIDs
in entirely different language and change the format. Mr. Hyland
agreed the NSCID package should be sent to the NSC. This would
satisfy the E.O. 11905 deadline, and if the NSCIDs were later
remanded for complete re-do that would represent a new,project.

3. Action on the proposed CFID No. 3, "National Reconnaissance
Activities" was deferred after the Executive Secretary reported the
paper was under study by the CIA General Counsel since there was
fined directive lan ua e
which went beyond CFI
jurisdiction.
4. The Committee approved CFID No. 4, "Administrative
Arrangements" without change.
