GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
AND PROVISIONAL OUTLINE OF
REPORT TO NSC QN STATUS. OF
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM, 30 JUNE 1960
General Guidelines
Contributions to this report have been solicited from Intelligence
.Board agencies and,s.ubpommittees and from a wide range of other
intelligence components to insure proper recognition and assessment
of over-all trends and significant specific developments in the
community during the past fiscal year.. On the basis of these contribu-
tions the USIB Secretariat plans to draft and coordinate with representatives
of USIB agencies a report of roughly the same length and level of generaliza-
tion as last kear's final. paper (USIB-D-3. 2/5, Final, 27 August 1959).
However, our emphasis will be in the direction of even more brevity of
.treatment if that is feasible. Accordingly,, even though contributions are
solicited from many sources,.,it will not be possible to make specific
mention or detailed comments (as we did in the past when longer reports
were. submitted) about certain of the individual functional activities within
the intelligence community which contribute to the overall status of the
community.
Contributions -should emphasize major developments, significant
trends, and principal emerging problems. To the extent feasible it is
desirable that these contributions be cast in the form of generalized
...statements appropriate for inclusion in this relatively brief rgp.ort`;
however, such contributions. should also include adequate background
data to isupport the generalizations and to permit evaluation of their
over-all significance, even though the final report may not contain'
these detailed supporting data.

their primary collection andproduction, ;tea. ona sibilities even th2 Lh
