SUBJECT . CIA Intelli7e Support for OCB Psychological
Warfare Projects
FROM : Chief,
1. The national operations plans for psychological warfare
operations drain up by the 0CB invariably include provisions for
extensive intelligence support from CIA as well as the other SAC
Agencies. Some of this support can be rendered by DDP elements,
but the major demands to support these plans are made on the o.:'fiat.s
of DDI. A present case in point is the OCB National Operations Pan
dated l!. October 1953, to exploit the Communist BW hoax and .:oia,
mistreatment of American vnw r -=st
r
is project. As in ',lie case
of the various PSB projects in the past, the DDP delegate sits as;
representative of CIA. T'hus' the 0rB staff and other panel rneribers
have relied on the DIP representative for all matters affecting CJQ -
including those intelligence support responsibilities which rest with
DDI.
2. In the present case, as in past instances with FEB panels,
the DDP representative is at same disadvantage in disposing of a
question representing the responsibilities of DDI; he is not in a
position to corr iiit any of the DDI elements or to answer most of thi*
intelligence support questions raised by 0CB staff and other )anel
members.

the intelligence support of OCB projects and specifically for the
cc-
ordination of the intelligence support from DDI. The following gent r0
agreements were made with Dr. Craig:
a. That as far as intelligence support is concernet_,
the DDP representative on OCB working panel will be re-
sponsible only' for suchI Isupport as is available from with .in
the Clandestine .cervices.
b. That questions raised in panel meetings by OCB rtaff
or other panel members pertaining to intelligence support free:

support of OCB projects may likewise be referred to Dr. Craig or
disposition.
d. Questions from within DDI referring to the inte3lige
c. That the over-all responsibility for coordinativE5,
projects with DIE will rest with Dr. Craig, and
A Li.. ,. We believe that these arrangements will not only affa nd c
an more effective DDI support for the OCD program but will relive
MP representative of the vexing responsibility for coordinating CIA
intelligence support. 0 can insure that DDI information 9jnpl nj
to OCB through Dr. Craig is also furnished directly to the hPP r_-pre, es ,-
ative or the OCB working panels as required. The Assistant Dir4ctor;
Intelligence Coordination, has indicated informally that this protect= r ? a
will be agreeable to W.
