MEMORANDUM FOR: SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR PLANS AND PROGRAMS/Pp
SUBJECT: Review of National Policies and Their Adequacy to
Support the Clandestine Effort
1. The subject report has been reviewed and the Paramilitary
Operations Staff concur with the report that there are many inadequacies
in existing policy directives pertaining to CIA clandestine planning
and covert operations.
2. From a paramilitary operations standpoint it is recommended
that the following matters on which policy decisions and clarification
are needed be considered for inclusion in the basic document:
a. NSC Policies
(1) A revision of NSC 10/2 paragraph 4 to spell out the
command relationships of covert assets generated by CIA in
concert with Allied Nations during peacetime for military
wartime use. Many of these assets are basically allied assets
developed through Tripartite and Multilateral agreements. No
mention is made in the existing NSC 10/2 paragraph 4 as to
who shall command and how these covert assets will be con-
trolled in wartime.
(2) There is need for a reevaluation of that portion
of NSC 10/2 pertaining to "US participation must not be in-
dicated" which in some cases is unrealistic and detracts
from a forceful positive approach.
