September 24, 1965
The Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Coordination of the United States
Foreign Intelligence Effort
Our Government is making a substantial effort and is expending
large sums of money to obtain timely intelligence vital to our
national defense and security. This effort requires the most
efficient possible organization of the activities of the various
departments and agencies concerned. It is essential that these
activities be conducted as an integrated endeavor best suited to
meet both current and longer-term national intelligence needs.
One of the essential objectives of this integrated effort is to give
timely notice to me and to other officials of critical develop-
ments which have an important bearing on our national security.
In view of the urgent necessity for maintaining effective coordi-
nation of all U.S. foreign intelligence functions, I request that
you serve as the Government's chief intelligence officer, and
that you pursue as a primary responsibility the task of coordi-
nating and guiding the total U.S. foreign intelligence effort in
accordance with National Security Council Intelligence Directive
Number One of March 4, 1964.
In the performance of your responsibility I shall expect you to
work closely with the heads of U.S. Government departments
and agencies having foreign intelligence responsibilities, with
a view to assuring the proper coordination, correlation,
evaluation and prompt dissemination of intelligence obtained
from all sources. You are authorized and directed to establish,
in consultation with member agencies of the intelligence com-
munity, such arrangements and guide lines as are necessary
for this purpose. It is my wish that you receive from the
departments and agencies concerned the full cooperation and
assistance which are essential to the success of your coordi-
nating responsibility.

THE UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
1. The United States Intelligence Board (USIB) is established by National
Security Council Directives to advise and assist the Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) as he may require in discharging his statutory responsi-
bilities and in coordinating the foreign intelligence activities of the United
States. The Board was created in September 1958 to assume the responsi-
bilities and functions previously discharged by two separate bodies - the
Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC) and the United States Communications
Intelligence Board (USCIB).
2. Under the chairmanship of the Director of Central Intelligence, the
USIB membership consists of the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence (CIA);
the Director of Intelligence and Research, Department of State; the Director,
Defense Intelligence Agency; the Director, National Security Agency; and a
representative each of the Atomic Energy Commission and of the Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Intelligence Chiefs of the Military
Departments attend USIB meetings as observers, and may express divergent
views on substantive intelligence matters. The general structure of the foreign
intelligence community as represented on the USIB is shown in Tab A hereto.
3. The basic charter of the USIB and the authorities of the Director of
Central Intelligence (DCI) in his role as the Chairman, USIB are contained in
National Security Council Intelligence Directives (NSCID) Nos. 1-8, which are
based upon the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. The most basic of
these, NSCID No. 1, directs that the DCI shall coordinate the foreign intelligence
activities of the United States. It also contains the charter of USIB (summarized
in Tab B), specifies membership on the Board (see Tab C), and contains pro-
cedures for reaching a decision.
4. NSCID No. 2 directs the coordination and allocation of intelligence
collection activities, and NSCID No. 3 covers the coordination and allocation
of intelligence production. NSCID No. 4 provides for the handling of defectors.
NSCID No. 5 specifies the procedures necessary to achieve direction and
coordination of U.S. espionage and counterintelligence activities abroad. The
activities pertaining to communications intelligence (COMINT) and electronic

intelligence (ELINT), together designated as SIGINT, are regulated by the
provisions of NSCID No. 6. Establishment of critical intelligence communi-
cations means is directed by NSCID No. 7. Finally, NSCID No. 8 provides
guidance on photographic interpretation for intelligence purposes. As
appropriate, the NSCIDs are supplemented by Director of Central Intelligence
Directives (DCIDs) which spell out in greater detail the more general provi-
sions of the NSC directives. A chart showing the general allocation of
responsibilities for collection and production of foreign intelligence is attached
as Tab D.
5. In addition to the authorities expressed in the foregoing NSCIDs, the
position of the DCI as the Government's principal foreign intelligence officer
has been further clarified and defined in Presidential directives. The most
recent was a memorandum from President Johnson dated 24 September 1965
which included the following paragraph:
"In view of the urgent necessity for maintaining effective
coordination of all U.S. foreign intelligence functions, I request
that you serve as the Government's chief intelligence officer, and
that you pursue as a primary responsibility the task of coordinating
and guiding the total U.S. foreign intelligence effort in accordance
with National Security Council Intelligence Directive Number One of
March 4, 1964. "
6. Normally the USIB reaches its decisions by agreement. However,
lacking unanimity, when the Chairman determines that a given position
represents the consensus of the Board, it shall be considered as agreed unless
a dissenting member requests the DCI to refer the issue to the NSC. Decisions
of the Board shall be binding, as applicable, on all departments and agencies
of the Government. In the case of National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs),
NSCID No. 1 provides that the DCI shall produce national intelligence with the
support of USIB. These estimates either have the concurrence of members
of the Board or a statement of any substantially differing opinion of such a
member or, of the Intelligence Chief of a Military Department.
7. Actions taken by the USIB in regular weekly meetings or by memorandum
vote are concerned about equally with consideration of substantive estimates
and Watch Reports, and with the provision of policy and program guidance
normally formulated by the respective Board committees. Recently the USIB
has averaged about three meetings per month with an agenda of 5-6 items,
plus around 20 memorandum actions per month approving, concurring in or
noting items not requiring deliberation in meetings.

8. The Board of National Estimates (BNE) periodically presents to
the USIB for approval a program of National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs)
for production during the next six months. In preparing this program the
BNE consults with committees of USIB and member agencies, and with
the White House Staff. For all practical purposes, the Chiefs of Intelligence
of the Army, Navy and Air Force contribute to and participate in the pro-
duction of NIEs essentially as do USIB Members. Requests for NIEs or
Special National Intelligence Estimates (SNIEs) may also be submitted at
any time the situation warrants and are transmitted to USIB through the
Chairman or the BNE. After approval by USIB, terms of reference are
prepared and contributions elicited from member agencies. From these
contributions the BNE prepares a draft which is reviewed, commented on
and revised as necessary by the BNE and representatives of USIB agencies
prior to submission to the USIB for approval. As pointed out previously,
any agency may dissent to any feature of an estimate.
9. In order to provide effective professional support to USIB over the
wide range of specialized intelligence subjects considered by the Board,
there are 14 subordinate committees reporting directly to USIB. The
membership of these committees is generally made up of trained personnel
with experience in the field represented. The primary areas of responsibility
handled by the various USIB committees are shown in Tab E. Most USIB
committees, working within their terms of reference in DCIDs and the policy
guidance of the Board, are authorized to conduct the majority of their day-to-
day business without reference to USIB, unless Board action is required or
there is disagreement on a particular matter. Certain other committees,
however, by the nature of their activities must refer the majority of their
work to USIB for approval prior to dissemination to the intelligence community.
The Committee on Imagery Requirements and Exploitation, the SIGINT Com-
mittee, the Critical Collection Problems Committee, the Guided Missile and
Astronautics Intelligence Committee, the Watch Committee and the Intelligence
Information Handling Committee are outstanding examples of committees that
work closely and frequently with the Board. The Chairman of each USIB
Committee also plays a leading role in support of both the DCI and USIB. Each
chairman is immediately available on a day-to-day basis to the DCI as Chair-
man of USIB to perform any staff studies or other assignments for the DCI
or USIB requiring a coordinated intelligence community approach.

10. The USIB Executive Secretary, under the direct supervision of the
DCI as Chairman USIB, provides staff support in managing the Board's
affairs and its relationships with the various USIB committees and agencies.
The USIB Secretariat is primarily concerned with developing an agenda of
items to be considered by the Board at each meeting or by memorandum
action between meetings; reviewing, editing, coordinating, reproducing
and circulating USIB documents; recording the minutes of each meeting
including a record of memorandum actions; and follow up actions to assure
compliance with Board decisions or other USIB actions.

and responsibility to the full extent permitted by law for the overall
direction, coordination and supervision of interdePartmental Activities
of the United States Government overseas. Such activities do not include
those of United States military forces operating in the field where such
forces are under the command of a United States area military commander and
such other military activities as I elect as Commander in Chief to conduct
through military channels. The Secretary of State will discharge this
authority and responsibility Primarily through the Under Secretary of State
and the regional Assistant Secretaries of State, who will be assisted by
interdepartmental groups of which they will be executive chairmen, i.e.,
with full powers of decision on all matters within their purview, unless a
member who does not concur requests the referral of a matter to the decision
of the next higher authority.
Activities which are internal to the execution. and administration
of the approved programs of a single department or agency and which are not
of such a nature as to affect significantly the overall U. S. overseas
program in a country or region are not considered to be interdepartmental
matters in the meaning of this NSAM. If disagreement .arises at any echelon

action to improve the organization, conduct and effectiveness of
the major intelligence-related programs in which 'U.S. depart-
ments and agencies are engaged. Efficient management and
direction of the complex activities which make up the total
foreign intelligence effort are essential to meet day-to-day
national intelligence requirements, and to ensure the develop-
ment and application of advanced means far the collection,
processing, analysis, estimating and reporting of intelligence
information. In this connection, you have already seen my
