MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, USIB Joint Atomic Energy
Intelligence Committee (JAEIC)
1. The purpose of this Letter of Instruction is to
identify matters to which I expect the JAEIC to give particu-
lar attention and tasks which I expect the JAEIC to accomplish
during FY 1976 in support of my Intelligence Community respon-
sibilities.
2. The statements of responsibilities and functions as
set forth in DCID 7'6 and DCID 3/3 continue to apply, but
additionally I instruct you to:
a. Provide me in March 1976 with an assessment
of the current and projected capabilities of intelli-
gence resources, including the Atomic Energy Detection
System, to satisfy the nuclear test detection, location
and yield determination intelligence requirements arising
from a Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT).
b. Continue the development of the data and analytical
techniques which will provide the yield determination and
other findings needed for treaty monitoring and which will
provide a basis for assessing the validity'of Soviet data
provided in accordance with the TTBT. Be prepared to report
the results of this development to me shortly'-prior to the
time the treaty is submitted to the Senate for ratification.
c. Assess the ability of selected foreign countries
to protect their nuclear weapons and nuclear materials from
theft or diversion. This assessment should be done in
conjunction with ERDA, the DoD and other U.S. Government 25X1

agencies with parallel responsibilities for the security
of U.S. weapons and U.S. nuclear materials in foreign
countries. This study may be limited to those countries
which are producing or storing their own plutonium or
highly enriched uranium in kilogram quantities and in
chemical forms more accessible to terrorist exploitation
than, for example, irradiated fuel elements. I would
like this assessment furnished to me no later than
June 1976.
e
3. In carrying out this year's program you should:
a. Coordinate Community collection and analytical
activities which are intended to respond to the relevant
KIQ on nuclear proliferation and provide an annual report
to the NIO/SP on progress in fulfilling the KIQ and on
the need for a new national estimate.
b. Maintain a continuing review of ongoing research
and development into satellite sensors, radiation detectors
and environmental sampling techniques to determine the
compatibility of such programs with priority strategic
intelligence needs and to ensure that they are cost effective
and that they complement the capabilities of other sensors
and techniques.
c. Periodically review the performance of operational
technical intelligence collection systems primarily intended
to respond to nuclear intelligence requirements to ensure
that they are cost competitive and cost effective and that
they are contributing to the highest priority nuclear intelli-
gence requirements.
d. Conduct continuing assessments of the U.S. capability
to identify rapidly and positively the movement of Soviet
nuclear weapons outside the Soviet Union. Provide to me by
May 1976 a report on the status of the sensors, the operations,,
the analytical programs and the demonstrated and potential
effectiveness of the reporting in support of U.S. policy needs.

our suggestions, and I have prepared a
forwarding memorandum. to the DCI for

JAEIC production in support of. the
Conference of the ICIS has been checked
out. The task is due to be finished
r.76 shortly, however, and is not
considered to be significant enough to
warrant singling out from other support
JAEIC regularly provides to the NIOs
such as inputs to NIE 11-3/8 etc.
