1. Mr. Mayer, reporting,for Mr. Vance, provided status
reports according to the agreed format on several of the issue
studies being monitored by the Working Group. It was agreed
this type of reporting would continue and, by late April, be
submitted to IRAC members as a status report for mail
distribution.
2. ubmitted an agreed report from the
Resource Packages sub-group containing an outline of Resource
Package studies and an identity of subject areas nominated for
study. Inasmuch as this report constitutes recommendations to
the IRAC Working Group, there was discussion concerning the
detail of the outline, the appropriateness of the subjects, and the
consideration of other subjects than those nominated. A suggestion
that the major area of SIGINT be studied was countered by a
suggestion that the first effort be a pilot study of a smaller and
25X1 more manageable subject. The Working Group then listened to 25X1
s presentation on the IC Staff hich,
among of er t ings, is an example of a resource package-type study.
Following this briefing, and in view of the complexity of this
relatively narrow subject, the Chairman concluded that the sub-group
should give further consideration to the subject and scope of a pilot
study.
3. Reports to the IRAC and the schedule for the next IRAC
meeting was discussed, looking to a meeting about mid-May. Since
an issue studies report will be made to Principals by mail, the
agenda for the meeting probably will include (a) a financial plan
report by DIA, (b) a report on FY 74 IRAC Management Objectives
and proposals for FY 75 IRAC Objectives, and (c) a report on
resource package work. NSA volunteered that the proposal for a
National SIGINT Plan might be briefed to the IRAC.
4. The Working Group will meet again on Tuesday, 23 April,
at 1330 to discuss the issue studies mail report, the resource
packages and IRAC management objectives.
5. The meeting adjourned at 1230.
