MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE:
Subject: Joint Intelligence Study Publishing Board.
1. Various problems in connection with the Joint Army-Navy
Intelligence Studies were discussed at a recent meeting of the
Joint Intelligence Committee. It was apparent that the Army
and Navy intelligence organizations may not be in a position to
meet the requirements of the Joint Staff Planners, because of
limitations of personnel, and that it may become necessary to
review those requirements in. the light of overall intelligence
requirements, in order to determine priorities.
2. These and other considerations suggest that the various
JANIS problems should be reviewed by the Central Intelligence
Group.
3, As the participants in J.I.S.P.B. now include agencies
other than the Armed Services, its activities appear to fall
within the scope of the National Intelligence Authority, and it
is believed that coordination of its work would be more effec-
tive if performed under the auspices of the Director of Central
Intelligence.
It is therefore recommended that the Joint Intelligence
Study Publishing Board be brought under the Director of Central
Intelligence for policy supervision; that the Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence designate a director of the Joint Intelligence
Study Publishing Board; and that the Central Intelligence Group
undertake a study of the future of JANIS, with a view to making
recommendations to the Director of Central Intelligence or to
the National Intelligence Authority, as may be appropriate, for
a schedule of JANIS papers, a prospectus of their content, de-
termination of what agencies shall participate in the preparation
of such papers and allocation of responsibility to such agencies.
5. Attached for information of your Planning Staff Ls a
memorandum prepared by Lieut. Edward L. Ullman, Executive Sec-
retary of J.I,S.P.B., entitled "The Future of JANIS".*

2. I am not going to changeramemorandum of 10 April.
3. Comments on the draft directive are as follows:
a. With regard to the last sentence of paragraph 3, the
Joint Intelligence Staff is considered a proper staff contact for
the Central Planning Staff for purposes of informal coordination
with JIC. However, on reconsideration it has been decided that it
mould be more appropriate to designate the Secretary, JIC, as the
contact point.
b. With regard to paragraph 4, the objection which the
operating agencies have to furnishing lists can be easily eliminated
by the second recommendation below.
4. It is recommended that the draft CIG Directive be amended
as follows:
a. Change the last sentence of paragraph 3 to read: "It
will also coordinate with the Secretary, JIC, as required."

AdIEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE:
Subject: Joint Intelligence Study Publishing Board.
`ill. Various problems in connection with the Joint Army-Navy Intel-
ligence Studies were discussed at a recent meeting of the Joint Intelli-
gence Committee. It was apparent that the Army and Navy intelligence
organizations may not be in a position to meet the requirements of the
Joint Staff Planners, because of limitations of personnel, and that it
may become necessary to review those requirements in the light of over-
all intelligence requirements, in order to determine priorities.
dOC. These and other considerations suggest that the various JANIS
problems should be reviewed by the Central Intelligence Group.
*. As the participants in ,IIwk now include agencies other than
the Armed Services, its activities appear to fall within the scope of
the National Intelligence Authority, and it is believed that coordina-
tion of its work would be more effective if .performed under the aus-
pices of the Director of Central Intelligence.
It is therefore recommended that the Joint Intelligence Study
Publishing Board be brought under the Director of Central Intelligence
for policy supervision; that the Director of Central Intelligence desig-
nate a director of the Joint Intelligence Study Publishing Board; and
that the Central Intelligence Group undertake a study of the future of
JANIS, with a view to making recommendations to the Director of Central
Intelligence or to the National Intelligence Authority, as may be appro-
priate, for a schedule of JANIS papers, a prospectus of their content,
determination of what agencies shall participate in the preparation of
such papers and allocation of responsibility to such agencies.

dum prepared by Lieut. Edward L. Ullman, Executive Secretary of ,IIpg,Pc,
