Mr. George C. Denney, Jr.
Deputy Director of Intelligence and Research
Department of State
Washington, D. C.
Dear George:
In response to your recent letter on the subject
of NSAM 337, we agree that an interagency committee
convened to prepare a coordinated response to the NSAM
would not represent a conflict with the SIGINT Committee.
Jim Critchfield and I fare in close
contact with Mr. Handley on this. I understand that the
committee has not met, due to current preoccupation with
the India-Pakistan fighting.
When conditions are appropriate for the committee
to meet, Jim will represent CIA. Because the subject
could involve considerations outside of the NE area (such
as airborne or space vehicles, for example), the Director
would like to have a member of the NIPE Staff sit in on the
meetings. John Bross has designated Tom Parrott as his
representative.
Si' icerely,
TS 188723

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
THE DIRECTOR OF INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH
In your letter to Secretary Rusk of August 21, you suggested
that the State Department take the lead in arranging for inter-
agency cooperation for coordinating various foreign policy matters
relating to NSAM 337.
This was the purpose of Tom Hughes' letter to Dick Helms of
August 17. The working group proposed there was designed not
to duplicate the work of the SIGINT Committee (the role of which
was clearly recognized in the outline of the proposed staff study)
but to come to grips with the political and policy questions involved.
This still remains our principal task. We agree that it is
desirable to get the views of the ambassadors concerned on the
parameters within which our planning for alternatives must take
place and have already sent queries to the field. Copies of these
queries and the answers received to date have been made available
to CIA. and DOD. If there are any additional questions which anyone
wishes to put to the ambassadors, we will be happy to include them
in subsequent messages.
The Department believes that we can now take some additional
steps. We suggest that your representative, a representative of
DOD, and representatives of the State Department bureaus con-
cerned meet toward the end of the week of August 30 or the
beginning of the following week to begin work toward a coordinated
response to NSAM 337. We anticipate that by that time we will
have received the reactions of our ambassador in New Delhi and
Tehran, which together with the work of the SIGINT Committee,
can serve as a base for discussion. Mr. William Handley, Acting
A.ssistant Secretary for NEA, has agreed to chair this meeting.
We shall inform your representative of the time and room in the
Department of State.
Sincerely,
George C. Denney, Jr.
The Honorable
W. F. R.aborn,
Director, TS 188710
