SUBJECT: Personal Recommendations with respect to Task Team V's Work.
1. The following are recommendations regarding the future course
of the military. personalities aspect of biographies that I promised
I would submit to you before taking off for C & GS School :
25X1A
a. Establish a committee of substantively qualified people in
the respective agencies to come up with standard data fiblds, transcription
systems, standard ranks, position lists, etc. for the purpose of automating
as much of this information as possible. COINS may do some useful. work here.
b. Rewrite the pertinent DCID's so that responsibilities for
the acquisition, processing, and production of military personality intelligence
is clearly and unequivocally fixed. In my opinion, the exploitation of open-
source materials for military personalities should be assigad to DOD(DIA).
c. Direct that all interested agencies in the Washington area be
tied into the LDX system by a given date, to include the exchange of bio;?ra-ohic
information. AHS is still not tied in.
d. Stop the proliferation of raw intelligence reports throughout
the community and direct interested agencies to the specified agency responsible
for producing military personality and military biographic intelligence.
2. In my opinion, the PI side of Task Team V did all it could in the time
allotted to learn what files existed of value to them, what was in them, and whom
to call to get something in a hurry. Work should now continue with attempts at
standardization and more precise definitions of responsibility. Please forgive
the brevity. I can give fuller explanations on my return early in July.
