Review Delegation of Authority
The President's Committee has recommended that the

this with the authority he exercises in agreed activities.

on a regular basis.
Reviewof the Definition of Special Intelligence

sibilities of CIA and NSA. The Director said that Gen.
Truscott had this matter in hand and he (DCI) intended to

review,
