DD/S&T reported briefly that the Director of NSA had taken action
yesterday which is likely to have a major adverse impact on
The NSA action is under staff study in DD/S&T.
DD/S&T reported on the status of work being done pertaining to
the DCI request concerning ordnance for aerial mining and bombard-
ment of key logistics areas such as the Mu Gia Pass. Development of
suitable weapons for suitable aircraft for this purpose seems feasible,
but there are no munitions in the current inventory that can do the job.
Bombs are of the wrong size or the fuses are inadequate. There are
possibilities for development of appropriate munitions which could be
available within a year to eighteen months after a decision is made.
A detailed study of this subject is being prepared for the DCI. (See
Action 4)

would leave today around noon for the West Coast and would return to
Washington on the evening of 20 February.

the Dominican Republic to Moyers and McGeorge Bundy of the White
House staff after the report has been reviewed by DDCI. (DD/I -

to CIA publications. The study should include examination of subjects
which are duplicated and subjects which DIA publishes but do not appear
directly related to DIA's primary mission. The study should also set
forth current authorities and legislation affecting the DCI's responsi-
bilities in this field. The study is to include recommendations and
advice as to what the DCI might take up in this regard with the Secre-
tary of Defense and/or the Director of DIA. (DD/I in consultation with
