THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
Honorable John A. McCone
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
As we have previously discuss, action is
better stat+amentss of USIB substantive intelli-
I certainly agree, therefore, that it will be most useful for tote
gence requirements for application to specific collection sour
INT Ccrnnitteo to develop better atatasments of the intelligeiice
requiramentse for TENT collection for national purposes.
I feel, however, that the function of preparing a monthly pro-
, D. C.
Executive Registry
ciate receiving your praupt interim reply on the Naticrijl
of peripheral reconnaissance flights is essentially one
of determining, on the basis of technical and operational con.
n activities should result in proposed monthly projections of
me, the tasks which should be assigned to the available
in order to meet approved requirants. I consider that
the new procedures directed in the NEP for airborne ELINT collec-
flights which are technically and operationally sound and
are directly relevant to requir ntss. There seem no need, there-
fore, for referring the monthly projections to USIB prior to & ation
by the 303 Catittee, and I feel that such action would unduly ccn-
plicate the conduct of these important and highly sensitive opera-
tions.
Sincerely,
L. ""c w tv ~ ~ Y it e-~...++ .: ?
