INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY BOARD PROCEDURES
THE PROBLEM
To establish procedure for the Intelligence Advisory Board.
FACTS
Although certain basic policies are established by the
President's letter of 22 January 1946 and by subsequent N.I.A.
Directives, no procedure has been formally agreed upon for the
accomplishment of the mission of the I.A.B.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with N.I.A. Directive No. 1, paragraph 3,
on recommendations to the N.I.A., initiated by the Director
of Central Intelligence and related to the coordination of such
of the activities of the intelligence agencies of the departments
as related to the national security, are referred to the I.A.B.
for concurrence or comment before submission to the 1\%I.A.
At its 9th meeting, the N.I.A. established the procedure
it desired for the implementation of N.I.A. Directive No. 5,
paragraph 3.
The I.A.B. has itself agreed upon an acceptable procedure
for implementation of N.I.A. Directive No. 1, paragraph 6, which
relates to intelligence reports prepared by the Central intellin.
gence Group.
Recommendations requested of the Director of Central Intelli-
gence by the N.I.A. are not considered as falling into the
pattern provided in N.I.A. Directive No. 1, paragraph 3. Nor is
it considered that it was the intent of the President or of the
N.I.A. that all reports, papers, and statements prepared by the
Director of Central Intelligence for presentation to the N.I.A.
be first submitted to the I.A.B. for advisory opinion. The
Director of Central Intelligence as a member of the N.I.A. can
not correctly make the I.A.B., which was created solely for the
purpose of advising him, privy to all matters before the N.I.A.
Similarly as the agent of the N.I.A. he can not make the I.A.B.
privy to all of his relations with the N.I.A.
Since it is not the current practice of the N.I.A. to for-

CONFIDIT
the Secretary, to undertake to supply N.I.A. agenda to
the I.L.B. A t such time as the N.I.i,. may formalize such agenda,
distribution thereof will necessarily be determined by the
and not by the Director of Central Intelligence or the I.L.B0
Lfter careful consideration, it is believed that no pro-
cedure should be established which requires the I.A.B.-D.C.I.-
Y.I.,. channel for the presentation of opinions by an Intelli-
gence Chief to his respective dcpartmental head. No such pro-
cedure appears contemplated by the President's letter nor sub-
sequent Directives. This opinion is further borne out
by*the absence of any provision requiring the submission to the
by the Director of Central Intelligence of any recommenda-
tion, paper, etc. originated elsewhere than with him. Thus it
would appear that any recommendation originated by a member 'of
the I.L.B. , even though it may receive concurrence of all other
members, can not properly be submitted to the Y.I.L. by
the Director of Central Intelligence unless it is accepted by
him as a recommendation from him. Lny such recommendation would
apparently have to be submitted individually by each I.L.B. member
to his respective N.I.A. member.
CONCLUSION
It is concluded that a formalization of I.A.B. procedures
is appropriate.
RFCOTTIriNDA TI ON
It is recommended that the Intelligence Advisory Board adopt
the following procedures for its consideration of recommendations
properly coming before it for advisory opinion:
1. All recommendations envisaged-by-paxagraDh-
o_f_ the Prei-q1-1?_t!s_l_etter- of, 22 Tarruary 1946. will be
submitted by the Director of Central Intelligence to
the I.A.B. in writing, accompanied by copies of such
papers or statement with which the Director of Central
Intelligence may contemplate accompanying the recommen-
dations upon presentation to the N.I.A. These recom-
mendations will have attached a voting slip providing

delay inadvisable, he shall give I.A.B. members one

statement of non-cpncurrence, the basis of which
will accompany the recommendation to the N.I.A.
2. All implementations envisaged by N.I.A.

ACTION BY THE INTELLICEIICE ADVISORY BOARD ON MATTERS
SUBMITTED TO THE NI TIOYAL INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITY
THE PROBLEM
To establish procedure for the Intelligence
Advisory Board in considering matters submitted to the
National Intelligence Authority for action.
FACTS
N.I.A. Directive No. 11 paragraph 3, requires that
all recommendations be referred to the Intelligence
Advisory Board for concurrence or comment prior to sub-
mission to the National Intelligence Authority. However,
no procedure has been established to accomplish this
action by the Intelligence Advisory Board.
DISCUSSION
It is believed that the requirements of N.I.A.
Directive No. 11 paragraph 31 can be satisfactorily met
by formal or informal procedure, depending upon the
importance of the particular matter under consideration.
If members of tne intelligence Advisory Board were fur-
nished copies of the agenda for the N.I.A. meeting,
togdher with copies of papers or a statement of the
problems up for consideration, they could then, vkith
respect to each item, express their concurrence, submit
comments, or request a formal meeting to discuss the
matter. Such procedure v,ould insure that the secretaries
had the views of the heads of their own intelligence
agencies when acting on all matters presented to them.
coNcLusior
It is concluded that a procedure should be estab-
lished for the Intelligence Advisory Board in considering
matters being submitted to the National Intellip;ence
Authority for action.

NEMORANDUM BY THE CHIEF OF NAVAL IITTELLIGENCE
POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY
THE PROBLEM
To arrange for the production of a comprehensive political-
psychological study on the U.S.S.R.
FACTS
No political-psychological study on the U.S.S.R. is now avail-
able.
Dr. Ladislas Farago, oho was associated with the U. S. Navy in
the Psychological Warfare Group during World War II, and is the au-
thor of "German Psychological Warfare" and "Axis Grand Strategr,
as well as a comprehensive compendium on Tapanese Psychology, has
informed a representative of the Navy Department of his willingness
to undertake a comprehensive political-psychological E;tudy on the
U.S.S.R. Dr. Farago states that be can complete such a study in
manuscript form about 1 February 1947, and that his fee therefor
will be nominal.
DISCUSSION
Psychological warfare, although new, is nom a proven weapon.
In future wars it can be expected to play an even greater role than
it did in World War II. It is submitted that the experience gained
through operations in the late conflict can best be exploited and
the interest of psychologists in this field sustained by a study of
the problem here presented. Upon the outbreak of hostilities such
a study would be an urgent requirement. It would have immediate
present value in connection with planning in this field. Since
this subject is of mutual concern to the State, War and Navy Depart-
ments, it is believed that C.I.G. is the proper agency to arrange
for the proposed study.
CONCLUSION
.A comprehensive political-psychological study on the U.S.S.R.
should be made as soon as practicable.

RECOMMENDATIONS
That C.I.G. negotiate a contract with a suitable psychol-
ogist, such as Dr. Ladislas Farago, for the preparation of a compre-
hensive political-psychologioal study on the U.S.S.R.
(b) That the contract should provide for payment of the fee
only upon delivery of the study manuscript to the Government, to-
gether with all rights thereto.
(c) That the fee for the proposed study be paid out of moneys
already made available to the C.I.G. by the State, War and Navy De-
partments.
(a) That ICAPS be assigned this problem for study and recom-
mendation.
(e) That this problem be placed on the agenda for discussion
at the next meeting of the Intelligence Advisory Board.

1. The Special Assistant to the Secretary of State for
Research and Intelligence, in C.I.G. suggested that the
Interdepartmental Coordinating and Planning Staff (NAPS)
make a tentative report on the basic delineation of respons-
ibilities for collecting foreign intelligence information.
The Intelligence Division, War Department General Staff, in
C.I.G. submitted a proposed agreement which contained
a statement of principles on the same subject.
2. Accordingly, the draft N.I.A. directive in Enclosure
"A", prepared by ICAPS in the light of C.I.G. and C.I.G.
is submitted herewith for consideration by the Intelli-
gence Advisory Board. The draft C.I.G. directive in Enclosure
"B" contains a tentative proposal to implement the over-all
policies and objectives in Enclosure "A".
3. It is therefore recommended that the Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence and the Intelligence Advisory Board, acting
for the National Intelligence Authority pursuant to paragraph
3 of N.I.A. Directive No. 1, approve the draft N.I.A. direct-
ive in Enclosure

COORDINATION OF COLLECTION ACTIVITIES
1. The following over-all policies and objectives are estab-
lished by the National Intelligence Authority for the interdepart-
mental coordination of collection activities so that measures may
be taken promptly to effect sound and efficient utilization of the
various departmental overseas collecting and reporting services:
a. There shall be an allocation within certain broad cat-
egories of agency responsibility.
b. There shall be an intelligence coordinator for each
foreign area as well as a coordinator in the person of the
Director of Central Intelligence in Washington to insure
proper implementation of the coordinated collection program.
c. Unproductive duplication and uncoordinated overlap
shall be discontinued so that all collection facilities may
be utilized to their maximum within budgetary limitations for
the production of that full flow of intelligence material
which is the major need of all departments.
d. There shall be free and unrestricted interdepartmental
flow of information and intelligence to meet the recognized
secondary need of each department for intelligence in categor-
ies other than its own in the development of its departmental
intelligence.
e. Common sense shall be applied in the implementation of
these established over-all policies and objectives to insure the
full utilization of individual initiative and favorable contacts
by collecting agents.
f. No interpretation of these established over-all policies
and objectives shall negate the basic principle that all intelli-
gence representatives abroad are individually responsible for the
collection and for the appropriate transmission to Washington of
all intelligence material of possible usefulness to the effect-
ive accomplishment of the national intelligence mission.

C. In preparing reports under this allocation, reporting
agents shall constantly bear in mind the fact that one or more
agencies other than the agency of responsibility may have a
secondary interest in any category; and they shall take full
cognizance of such interest as it may be expressed either in
any basic interagency collection guide or in special agency

own departmental intelligence.
3. DESIGNATION AND DUTIES OF INTELLIGENCE COORDINATOR.
a. Each foreign area shall have an intelligence coordinator
who shall supervise and direct the activities of intelligence
personnel within his area to the end that the intelligence ob-
jectives of the Government as a whole and the collection direc-
tives of the respective intelligence agencies shall be most ef-
ficiently and expeditiously accomplished. The responsibility
for this program shall rest with:

categories are being covered by intelligence reports and
that the responsibility for such reports delegated to de-
partmental field representatives so far as possible are in
accordance with the appropriate departmental responsibility.
(3) Insure that whenever one or more of the depart-
mental intelligence agencies are not represented at a for-
eign post or the appropriate representative is unable for
any reason to carry out his mission, reporting on the cate-
gories of those departmental responsibilities is delegated
to the extent possible to other members of the staff. When
such delegation is other than temporary the coordinator

therefor.
c. To assist the coordinator in his over-all responsibility:
(1) All standing field collection instructions will be
reviewed by the initiating agency and in coordination with
the Central Intelligenoe Group be replaced when appropriate
by a basic interagency collection guide and index to insure
that all reports designed to supply basic intelligence data
shall meet the requirements of the several agencies as to
format and content.
(2) National collection directives based on research
requirements corresponding to current essentials of na-
tional intelligence shall be issued and revised on a con-
tinuing basis and shall supplement interagency collection
directives.
(3) All intelligence agency collection directives re-

October 18, 1946
MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE:
Subject: Responsibilities of the Department of State for Re-
porting and Collection of Information and Intelligence
1. The Department of State is increasingly anxious to elimin-
ate duplication of effort, in the ?field, with respect to
collecting and reporting intelligence information. The duplica-
tion seems to stem :from a failure to define and to distinguish
basic departmental responsibilities.
2. CurrenJ; meetings under the sponsorship of your Interde-
partmental Coordinating and Planning Staff have explored this
problem. It has been touched upon in meetings of the
Intelligence Advisory Board. Since volume of information is a
major need of all Departments and since duplication of
collecting effort to that extent reduces the flow, it is
essential that measures be taken promptly to effect sound,
efficient utilization of the various departmental overseas re-
porting and collection services.
3. As a prerequisite to any such measures the Departments and
the CIG must agree upon basic delineation of responsibilities.
To that end, the Department of State proposes that it assume
complete responsibility for the overt procurement of information
and intelligence in foreign areas on all political, economic,
social and cultural matters. It also proposes that it assume
the responsibility for scientific information and intelligence
with such exceptions as fall within the naval and military
fields.

4. It should be noted that "complete responsibility" does not
connote "complete activity". Obviously circumstances will pro-
duce variations in capabilities at the separate collecting
points, and it is to be expected that each Department will want
to assist other Departments wherever possible.
5. The Department of State requests that this proposal be
placed on the agenda for an early meeting of the IAB. Meanwhile
it is suggested that the subject be referred to ICAPS in
connection with its interdepartmental meetings on collection,
and that ICAPS be asked to make a tentative report, if possible,
before the IAB meeting takes place.

PLAN FOR COORDINATION OF BIOGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE
Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence
1. Attached hereto is a draft of a "Plan for Coordination of
Biographic Intelligence". This plan, with which I concur fully,
has the a-)proval of your representatives who collaborated with
the Central Intelligence Group in its preparation. The plan is
now circulated for your consideration and action at the next
meeting of the Intelligence Advisory Board.
2. During the discussions, C.I,G. and certain of your represen-
tatives felt that the plan should have included definite provi-
sions for the establishment within C.I.G. of a central biographic
reference file which would contain basic factual data on all
individuals upon whom supporting files are maintained by the
departments. They also felt that these reference files should
be maintained on business machine cards in such r way that any
information desired and available within the Government rocorrTh
could be readily locate'.. At present there is no such service,
nor 1.77.oes any department keep a master index

b. The allocation of responsibility within the various
categories above is based upon insuring complete coverage of
impertant individuals and minimizing unwarranted duplication
of effort. However, in special instances where a personality
in another category becomes of particular interest to any
intelligence agency, nothing in this directive prevents or
restricts such agency from reporting and maintaining a
biographic file on that individual, so long as the departmental
agency holding primary responsibility is duly informed, end
is furnished with the data necessary for its OWL file.

prduce and evaluate responsible Biographic Intelligence on
personalities within its own categories of primary responsi-
bility for the other agencies requesting and authorized to
receive same, or if desired, to malf.e available the appropriate
source material. In this connection, agencies will circulate
to one another and to CIG a list of qualified and security
aprved personnel authorized to engage in direct liaison.

a. The cnief of mission, or his delegated staff officer,
of each embassy, legation, or foreign post is charged ? with
the overall responsibility for the coordination of biographic
intelligence in his geographical area- To effect this co.-
ordination he will:
(1) Maintain a local coorinatod biographic file on
all important personalities.
(2) Insure that all personalities in the above cate-
gories are being covered by biographic reports, and that
the responsibility for such reports is delegated to de-
-Dartmental field representatives so far as possible in
accordance with the appropriate departmental primary

tatives felt that the plan should hnvo included definite provi-
sions for the establishment within C.I.G. of n central biographic
reference file which would contain bnsic factunl data on all
individuals upon whom sup-oorting files are maintained by the
departments. They also felt that these reference files should
be maintnined on business machine cnrds in such n way that any
information desired and nvoilable within the Government records
could be rondily located. At present there is no such service,

Memorandum by the Chief of Naval Intelligence
THE PROBTEM
To establish a procedure for considering intelligence
estimates prepared by. the Central Intelligence Group.
FACTS
N.I.A. Directive No. 1, paragraph 2, directs the Central
Intelligence Group to furnish intelligence estimates to the
President, the State, War and Navy Departments, etc.
N.I.A. Directive No. 1, paragraph 6, directs that irteJJ
gence reports prepared by the Central Intelligence Group will
note any substantial dissent by a participating intelligence
agency.
The Central Intelligence Group on 23 July 1946 produced
an intelligence report entitled ORE-1.
There is no indication in ORE-1 as to what approval or
concurrence it had by the intelligence agencies having
functions relating to the national security prior to its dis-
semination.
DISCUSSION
Intelligence reports produced by the Central Intelligence
Group are likely to be an important segment of factors enter-
ing into a vital estimate or decision. Consequently it is
essential that such reports have the concurrence or comment of
the -erincipal intelligence agencies of the government having
functions relating to the national ?security. Such agencies at
present are represented by the permanent members of the Intelli-
gence Advisory Board. It is submitted that the best method of
accomplishing the above is by a vote system similar to that
used by the Joint Intelligence Committee in approving intelli-
gence estimates.

APPENDIX TO ENCLOSURE "A"
ESTABLISHMENT OF A CHANNEL BETWEEN THE CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE GROUP AND THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
THE PROBLEM
1. To establish a procedure for more effective handling of
papers of the Central Intelligence Group by the Intelligence
Advisory Board and to establish a channel b;tween the Central
intelligence Group and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM
2. The State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, and the Central Intelligence Group are all considering
problems connected with intelligence. There is an established
channel between the State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff for securing consideration of .!..)apes
in Which both have an interest (j.C.S. 1224/4 and 1224/5).
There is no such channel between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
the Central Intelligence Group. Recently the Central Intelli-
gence Group prepared and secured action on N.I.A. 6 without
reference to the Joint Chiefs of Staff who are also consideling
,)apers in this field, namely, J.C.S. 1664 and 1664/1.
DISCUSSION
3. N.I.A. 6 and C.I.G. Directive are papers that deal
with subjects in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff have an
interest. As the Central Intelligence Group expands in the
o oration of intelligence activities, it is eXpected that it
will be preparing more papers on subjects of interest to the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. The methods of handling such papers in
the various agencies of the permanent members of the Intelligenc
Advisory Board are not known. Even though they are submitted
to the highest military command within each agency; it is sub-
25X1A mitted that there should be some procedure for securing act.Lon

by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on those papers that deal with
matters in which they have an interest. The permanent members
of the Intelligence Advisory Board are the same as the members
of the Joint Intelligence Committee. To have the Joint Intel-
ligence Staff of the Joint Intelligence Committee act as the
staff of the Intelligence Advisory Board in preparing action on
Central Intelligence Group papers would result in securing
joint action on these papers. Furthermore, when papers relating
to matters of interest to the Joint Chiefs of Staff were con-
sidered by the Intelligence Advisory Board the permanent members
thereof could forward their recommended action to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff for approval or comment. This could be done via
the established channel to the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the
Joint Intelligence Committee. Such procedure would assure
coordination between the Central intelligence Group and the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and could be followed even though addition-
al members were invited to sit when dealing with matters within
their province. Such additional members could be invited to
appoint ad hoc members of the Intelligence Advisory Staff. As
the Central Intelligence Group expands in the field of static
intelligence their assistance may be needed in connection with
problems being considered by the joint Intelliqcnce Committee.
When this .situation occurs the above-mentioned. channel could
be used for securing such service.
CONCLUSION
4. It is concluded that there is at present a need for es-
tablishing a channel between the Central Intelligence Group and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which need will increase as the
Central Intelligence Group expands its functions Or activities.
It is further concluded that such channel should be through the
Joint Intelligence Committee.

Memorandum from Chief of Naval Intelligence to
Director of Central Intelligence, same subject,
dated 22 August 1946, No. 01-32X.
b. N.I.A. Directive No, 1.
It is fully agreed that the present undetermined relation-
ship between the C.I.G. and the Joint Chiefs of Staff requires
early and comprehensive consideration.
It is not considered, however, that the proposal contained
in the reference memorandum is appropriate since, pursuant to
N.I.A. Directive No. 1, the Central Intelligence Group is con.
stj.tuted as a cooperative interdepartmental activity in which
the interests of the State, War and Navy Departments are adc-
quately and equitably represented.

No. 1 provides that; if any
member of the I.A.B. does not concur in a recommendation, it may
nevertheless be submitted to the N.I.A, for decision.
It is, therefore, requested that, instead of pressing for
the adoption by the Joint Intelligence Committee and the Intelli-

reference memorandum, the Chief of Naval Intelligence sl-)onsor a
recommendation that each of those bodies concur that the Inter-

1, The second paragraph of reference (a) is not fully under-

part time and in addition to their present duties. My pupose
is to provide a direct link, on the working level, between the

2. Your recommendation that the Interdepartmental CoordinatinL

WAR PLANS FOR CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE GROUP
Memorandum by the Chief of Naval Intelligence
THE PROBLFM
1. To insure that war plans of the War and Navy Departments
include provision for the Central Intelligence Group.
FACTS AND DISCUSSION
2. The Navy Department is now engaged in the preparation of
war plans which include plans for the mobilization of personnel.
It is presumed that the War Department is similarly engaged..
So far as is known no such plans are being prepared by the
Central Intelligence Group. The war plans of the War and Navy
Departments should take note of the regular and reserve officers
assigned mobilization billets in the Central Intelligence Group
and should include everyforeseeable requirement regarding the
procuring and training of Army and Navy personnel.
cpwcizsTo
3. It is concluded that the War and Navy Departments should
be informed regarding the personnel requirements of the Central
Intelligence Group for full mobilization OP war as follows:
a. The military personnel to be retained by C.I.G.
b. Planned expansion, if any, that requires assignment
of additional regular personnel or the procurement and
training of reserve personnel.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4. a. That the Central Intelligence Group make a study of
their requirements for full mobiliation of war.

b. Minutes, IfA.B. 8th Meeting, Item 3
Memorandum by the Special Committee
Appointed to Study the Above Problem
1. On 8 October 1946 the personal representatives of the
I.A.B. members mot with representatives of the C.I.G. as a
Committee to undertake the preparation of the study requested
by the Office of Naval Intelligence "to determine the practi-
cability of the performance by C.I.G. of elements of common con-
cern in the field of static intelligence,"
2. C.I.G. offered the broad outlines of a plan, suggested
by the 0.N.I proposal, which it believed would:
a. Assure to each agency the untrammeled conduct of its
departmental intelligence;
b. Assure to each agency the maintenance by C.I.G. of
those intelligence activities of common concern;
C. Assure to each agency the exchange between agencies of
those intelligence reports prepared by one agnecy for its
own primary operational use but having a secondary value to
other agencies.
3- In the general discussion which followed, the rep-
resentative made certain concrete proposals with respect to cen-
tralization of foreign intelligence functions in C.I.G., in-
cluding the offer to transfer O.N.I.? personnel engaged in Stra-
tegic Intelligence to C.I.G. provided other agencies participated
in like manner. These proposals were unacceptable to the M.I.D.?
representative, who explained that the Military Intelligence
Division could not subscribe to a Plan at present by which it
would lose direct control over any intelligence functions which
were related to its staff and command problems.

4. The representative of the Assistant Chief of kir Staff-2
stated that final determination of specific functions to be
centralized should be a matter of evolution, possible of accomp.-
lishment by unilateral proposals to or from, and agreements with,
C.I.G. As an example, he continued, the Air Force has recently
undertaken production of Air Order of Battle as an overload, and
that A-2 might, following this principle, approach C.I.G. with
a suggestion that Air Order of Battle be developed by C.I.G.
There is nothing, he stressed, in the production of Air Order of
Battle as a whole that needs to be related intimately to the
staff and command problems of the Air Force.
5. The State Department representative felt that the proposal
seemed to have a much broader scope than he had before under-
stood. He emphasized the State Department's inescapable respon-
sibilities, particularly in respect to political and economic
intelligence, and then suggested that individual elements of the
general problem were already being carefully studied by inter-
departmental groups sponsored by 'CAPS. He wondered if the
present discussion might begin with a consideration of the type
of study now being produced under the direction of JANIS.
6. In the opinion of the committee, the discussion disclosed
such fundamentally divergent views on such basic problems as
fields of primary responsibility and general areas of common con-
cern, that a further approach to the problem as presented by
0.N.I. is not now feasible.
7. .The discussion disclosed, however, that all agencies be-
lieved that positive results in some fields can be obtained
through the current series of interdepartmental round table dis-
cussions, and that the development of bilateral agreements be-
tween C.I.G. and the individual agencies should be adequate

letter of 22 January 1946 which require the C.I.G. to. perform

services of common concern as the N.I.A. determines can be more

ASSIGNMENT OF mpT.Iov,s IN THE FIELD OF STATIC
INTELLIGENCE TO THE CENT4L INTELLIGENCE GROUP
Memorandum by the Chief of Naval Intelligence
THE PROBLEM
To examine the practicability of further merger of static
intelligence functions of the State, War and Navy Departments
through assignment of same to the Central Intelligence Group.
FACTS AND DISCUSSION
Prior to the establishment of the Central Intelligence
Group the War and Navy Departments wore engaged in the study
of the problem of the susceptibility of the field of static
intelligence to joint effort. The War and Navy Departments
each completed a study which indicated in this field there were
elements (organizational units, functions or activities) that
were susceptible of joint effort. Those separate studies now
require further joint study in order to determine the practica-
bility of such joint enterprises. At present they indicate
that any such joint enterprises should be housed together. Now
that the Central Intelligence Group has been established, the
War and Navy Departments are reluctant to proceed with this
study pending a determination of the practicability of tho
Central Intelligence Group performing those functions that
are susceptible of joint effort. The performance of such
functions by the Central intolligence Group is authorized by
paragraph 3 c. Of. the President's letter of 22 January 1946.
Also, it is believed that the Central Intelligence Group could
moot the requirement of housing such activities together.
There may be some difficulty in sorting available material and
establishing suitable libraries. Those elements that are con-
sidered suscoptible of joint effort are an follows: political,

economic, sociological, topographic and technical. It is believed
that the performance of these functieby the Central Intelli-
gence Group would necessitate thoir participation in tho
preparation of'JANIS studios as well as any intelligence
studios made for tho Joint War Plannrs. Merging of the
political field in the Central intelligence Group will neces-
sitate some arrangements for briefing of the intelligence
agencies of the various Dopartmonts concerned in accordance
with their own requirements.
CONCLUSIONS
It is concluded that:
a. Paragraph 3 c. of tho Prosidentis letter of 22 January
1946 authorized the Central Intelligence Group to perform
for the benefit of the intelligence agoncies such services
of common concern as the National intelligunce Authorit
determined could be mere efficiently accomplished centrally.
b. In the field of static intelligence certain elements
(organizational units, functions or activities) porformod
by the State, War and Navy Departments are susceptible of
joint effort.
c. The Central intelligence Group could moot the requre-
ment of housing such activitius together.
d. Thore may be SOM6 difficulty in sorting available
material and establishing suitable libraries.
0. Performance of such functions by the Central Intern-
_
gence Group would nocessitato their participation in JANIS
studios as well as in the preparation of intelligence studies
for the Joint War Planners.
f. Morging of thu political field in the Central int i-

PROVISION FOR COVERAGE OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRESS
IN THE UNITED STATES
Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence
1. In accordance with C.I.G. Directive Noll -the Central
Planning Staff conducted a survey to determine if coverage of
the foreign language press in the United States is desirable
for intelligence purposes, what personnel are available for the
work, and which agency or agencies should be responsible for such
a project.
2. As a result of this survey the Director of Central Intel-
ligence concludes that:
a. The Department of State has a primary need for a com-
prehensive coverage of the foreign language press in the
United States.
b. The Department of State should develop this source to
the extent determined by its needs and capabilities.
c. Competent personnel appear to be available.
d. This collection effort and the distribution of its
results should be coordinated by the Director of Central
Intelligence to ensure that it serves the interests of all
agencies subject to N.I.A. coordination.
3. No action by N.I.A. appears to be necessary.
4. It is recommended that the Intelligence Advisory Board
concur in the draft C.I.G. Directive (Enclosure "A") for issue.

DISCUSSION
Note: The term "foreign language press" as used in this
discussion refers to newspapers, magazines and pamphlets
published in a foreign language in the United States. It
is not to be confused with material printed in a foreign
language but published abroad.
1. By memorandum of 20 February 1946 (1), Mr. Alfred McCormack,.
then Special Assistant to the Secretary of State in charge of
Research and Intelligence, suggested that the Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence take under advisement the matter of determining
what coverage of the foreign language press in the United States
is desirable for intelligence information purposes and how the
coverage should be obtained. This matter falls logically
under the provisions of paragraph 4.b., N.I.A. Directive No. 2.
Accordingly, C.I.G. Directive ordered a survey of the
subject.
2. The matter was discussed with representatives of the State
Department, MID, ONI, A-2 and FBI. In addition the matter was
discussed with Mr. Harry T. Smith of the New York TIMES and ny.
Jacob Landau of the Overseas News Agency in New York City; both
of whom follow the foreign language press in the United Stotes.
3. Before the war the foreign language press was little ex-
ploited as a source of foreign intelligence information, al-
though some use was made of it as a check on subversive activ-
ities of foreign groups in this country. The F.B.I. in the dis-
charge of its mission related to internal security, collected
information on foreign language newspapers as to editorship,
financial backing, influence, etc.
4. During the war the foreign language press became of con-
siderable interest to several government agencies. The F.B.I.
intensified its coverage of this source for information on
foreign groups and individuals. MID, ONI and A-2 searched

magazines and newspapers published in foreign lrnguases for any
information of value. This coverage was undertaken to avoid
overlooking any source which might yield any information of
intelligence value concerning countries blacked out due to
enemy control. The State Department during this period made
little use of information gleaned from foreign language news-
papers and magazines.
5. The only agency to engage in a comprehensive coverage of
the foreign language press was the Foreign Nationalities Brnch,
OSS. This coverage was performed in connection with research
into origins, political and economic developments and psycho-
logical reactions of foreign groups in the United States as the
basis for reports on the composition and activities of such
groups. In addition to their own reading and analysis of foreign
'press material,
6. Organized coverage of the foreign language press in the
United States, for government agencies, ceased with deactiva-
tion of the Foreign Nationalities Branch, OSS, in the fall of
1945. Certain officers of the Department of State read some
of the foreign language publications produced in the United
St3tes to the extent required by its obligation to search out
subversive tendencies among foreign language groups in the
United States. The Overseas News Agency continues to cover the
foreign language press in the United States in order to provide
n news service to its private subscribers, but states that it
does so at a considerable financial loss and is preparing to
abandon this' service. Mr. Harry T. Smith, of the New York TIMES,
reads daily and weekly publications in some seven foreign

in the TIMES. No distribution of the products of these various
efforts is made to government agencies.
7. The F.B.I. is satisfied with its present coverage as a
check on subversive activities, and MID, ONI, and A-2 ore of the
opinion that the value of this source of intelligence informa-
tion does not warrant their contributing personnel, funds or
facilities to achieve comprehensive coverage.
8. Information of the type obtainable from the foreign
language press in the United States is required primarily by
the State Department as follows:
a. By research personnel as background material for
intelligence studies;
b. By geographic divisions for analysis of influence of
foreign pressures on foreign language groups in the United
States;
C. By the Office of International Information and Cultur-
_
al Affairs as a means of measuring the effectiveness of Its
foreign language propaganda.
The Department of State would welcome the re-establishment of a
comprehensive coverage of the foreign language press in the
United States, but does not possess the funds required to sup-
port such coverage.
9. A sm611 portion (apparently eight or ten persons) of the
now scattered Foreign Nationalities Branch of OSS, is still in
Washington and could,'no doubt, be engaged by the department if
the need and funds to suppOrt it exist.

1. The President's letter of 22 January 1946, directing
the establishment of the National Intelligence Authority, con-
tained, in paragraph 3 thereof, a general description of the
functions envisaged for the Directar of Central Intelligence.
N.I.A. Directive No. 1, containing the basic policies and pro-
cedures governing the Central Intelligence Group, further
clarified the functions of the Director of. Central Intelligence,
particularly as regards his relationship with the National
Intelligence Authority and the Intelligence Advisory Board.
N.I.A. Directive No. 2 contained an initial personnel authori-
zation for the Central Intelligence Group, providing only the

problems, and meeting initial requirements. N.I.A. Directive
No. 2 also instructed the Director of Central Intelligence to
submit his recommendations for augmentation of the Central
Intelligence Group as soon as practicable. Pursuant to those
instructions, this report proposes a redefinition of the functions
of the Director of Central Intelligence which will give him the
necessary authority to augment the Central Intelligence Group
so that he may effectively perform his assigned missions.
2. A draft N.I.A. directive, redefining the functions of
the Director of Central Intelligence, is contained in Enclosure
"A" (Appendix "A" hereto). Discussion of the provisions of
this draft directive is contained in Ehclosure "B" (Appendix

DISCUSSION
Discussion by paragraphs of the provisions of the draft
directive in Enclosure "A" (Appendix "A" hereto) follows
Paragraph 2: Paragraph 3-a of the President's letter
makes the Director of Central Intelligence responsible for
the correlation, evaluation and dissemination of strategic
and national policy intelligence relating to the national
security, making full use of the staff and facilities of the
intelligence agencies of the State, War and Navy Departments.
This means that the Director of Central Intelligence is
responsible for the accuracy, adequacy and timeliness of
intelligence required for the national security. To dis-
charge his vital responsibilities, the Director of Central
Intelligence should not be required to rely solely upon
evaluated intelligence 'from the various Departments. He
should also have the authority, when he deems it necess,ary
in the interests of national security, to undertake within.
the Central Intelligence Group basic research and analysis
of original and unevaluated intelligence and counter-intel-
ligence information from all available sources. This
authority is especially necessary to ensure adequate cover-
age, from a national viewpoint, of those fields which are of
common intelligence interest to more than one agency, such as
economics, science, biography, geography, sociology, etc.
In many of those fields the national security requires that
basic research and analysis activities be centralized so as
to serve the intelligence agencies subject to N.I.A.
coordination.
Paragraph 3: Paragraph 3-b of the President's letter
charges the Director of Central Intelligence with planning

for the coordination of intelligence activities related to the
national security and recommendinr over-all policies and ob-
jectives to the National Intellience Authority. No provision
is made in the President's lettE.?r for an executive agent or
the National intelligence Authority who will be responsible
for coordinating and supervising intelligence activities
related to the national securty
so as to ensure that policics
are properly implemented and objectives are successfully ac-
complished. Such coordination ?and supervision is considered
a necessary step in the effective execution of the national
intelligence program. It is therefore recommended that the
Director -of Central Intelligence c specifically charged with
this responsibility.
Paragraph 4-a: It is considerd that the conduct of all
Federal espionage and counterespionnge opeations for the col-
.,
lection of foreign intellirence infOrmation required for the
national security ca ? more efficiently c:Complished
centrally by th Directci2 of Centr%1 Intelligen,:te for the
following reasons:
A. Conduct of this type of operation by the executive
departments would almost certinly embarrass thesc depart-
ments in the conduct of their official overt activities.
B. Such operations must be centrully controlled to en-
sure that they serve the national interest rather than the
interests of an single department or agency, and that they
do not conflict with overt intelligence activities.
C. Since such operations require maximum security
they should be performed by a single closely ,controlled
central agency.
D. The danger of competition and confusion betwecn arc=rx&
of different agencies necessitates the use of a single
agency. Moreover, the interdependency and interr-lata)nsL.
between geographical areas and foreign countries mai-Ls it
imperative that there be one agency with world c)\erage.
This does not, of r'ourse, preclude the use of specialize6
departmental personnel under rigid central control.

E. The difficult and specialized administrative problems
involved in such operations make a single central agency
more efficient and economical.
Paragraph 4-b: It is recommended that the conduct of
all Federal monitoring of press (and propagandn broadcasts of
foreign powers required for the collection of intelligence
information related to the national security be centr!,11y
operated under the Director of Central Intelligence for the
following reasons:
A. The present organization carrying on this function
under War Department direction should be liquidated
because its reports are circulated too generally and its
personnel have not been adequately screened for security.
B. This function is of value to the State, War, Navy
and other Government departments. It should therefore
be centrally directed to serve the needs of all these
departments.
C. The Deportment of State appears to have the great-
est interest, but the War Department is the only agency
which has included funds for this function in its 191.1.7
budget. The Department of State, however, has stated
that it is not practicable for that Department to assume
responsibility for this operation. The War Department con-
siders that under no circumstances should it engage on a
continuing basis in this predominantly nonmilitary intel-
ligence function. The some viewpoint applies to the Navy
Deportment. It therefore nppears that this function is
a service of common concern which can be accomplished more
efficiently centrally.

functions have not been performed by any department, or have

Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence
1. By Defter to the Director of Central Intelligence dated 4
March 146, Mr. Alfred McCormack stated:-
'During the war there was in existence an Inter-
depnxtmontal Committee on the Acquisition of Foreign Publi-
cations, to which the Research and Analysis Branch of O.S.S.
contributed a secretariat. This arrangement has been con-
tinuod with the transfer of the R and A Branch to the Depart-
ment of State. Dr. Luther Evans, Librarian of Congress, has
propdsuq that such a committee be put on a permanent basis as
a part of the inter-departmental structure of the Central
Intollienco Group. The Department of State supports the
principle of inter-departmental coordination of the procure-
ment of library materials
2. Tho problem posed by this letter was discussed with Dr.
Luther B. Evans, Librarian of Congress, and with other persons
concerned, by a representative of the Director of Central Intel-
ligence.
3. After consideration of all testimony, the enclosed and
appended papers have been prepared as a basis for action in this
matter.
4. It is therefore recommended that the Intelligence Adv:.sory
Board concur in the submittal of the Enclosure for consideration
by the National Intelligence Authority.

rapid interchange and loan of such materials, and the distri-
bution of bibliographical infc2mation. These coordinating
reslIonsibilities are distinct from and therefore will not
interfere with the Usual responsibilities of individual agen-
cies for the maintenance of moi,king collections of library
matorials necessary to the transaction of their business.
b. To originate recommendations to the several departments
and agencies concerning the development of their libraries
within a framework of over-all Federal acquisitions, such
recommendations to be designed to make available to this
Government, with minimum duplication, all foreign library
materials necessary to the conduct of the public business.
c. To originate recommendations to the Department of State
on matters of broad policy connected with the procurement of
feren library materials through the Foreign Service, in so
far as they pertain to servicing the acquisitions needs of
the Federal Establishment as a .whole.
d. To review requisitions on the State Department procure-
ment? facilities whenever it is necessary to determine whether
said rcouisitions are consistent with the Committee's compre-
hensive acquisitions program.
4. Tho Director of Central Intelligence will designate a rep-
resentative to act with the Committee as the Vice-Chairman and to
be responsible for ensuring that the Conmittee?s activities make
adequate provision for the securing of intelligence information

DISCUSSION
1. Immediately prior to and during the war, the Coordinator
of Information and later the Office of Strategic Services fur-
nished the Secretariat of an Interdepartmental Committee on the
Acquisitlfln of Foreign Publications. That Secretariat was taken
over, under proper authority, by the State Department, as a part
of the liusoarch and Analysis Branch of 0.3.3., and still func-
tions under the Special Assistant to the Secretary of State for
Research and Intelligence.
2. The primary concern of such parts of this existing and con-
tinuing Committee as are within the departments whose heads con-
stitute the is foreign publications having possible intel-
ligence infermatien value in connection with the intelligence
25X1A mission concerned with the national security.
3. Other Federal agencies, not primarily concerned with intel-
ligence bearing on the national security, are also interested in
the acquisition of foreign publications. Some twenty-one (21)
Federal asencies have shown an interest in the matter and mani-
fested that interest by sending representatives to meetings held
in the office of the Librarian of Congress on 7 September and 25
October 1945. These meetings considered the coordination of the
procurement effort but had neither formal authority nor power to
act.
4. The procurement of desired foreign publications for the
interested agencies is accomplished in large measure by the State
Department through its missions abroad. Payment for publications
is made to state by the agency for which publications are procured.
5. Certain Foreign Service Officers (eleven at last report) arc
about to go out to the most important foreign publishing centers

with tho solo duty of organizing the acquisition service and
preparint; bibliographical indices of available publications.
6. Tho Librarian of Congress, Dr. Luther B. Evans, feels that
the problem of coordinating the Acquisition of Foreign Publica-
tions is a technical library matter. The Director of Central
Intellience concurs substantially in that view, although im-
portant matters of policy are also involved.
7. Dr. :ivans submitted to the Secretary of State, on 26
October 1(j45, an outline of the coordinating committee which ho
feels can govern properly the acquisition of foreign publica-
tions. The results of Dr. Evans' study are incorporated in the
recommendations made herewith.
8. The flterest of in the problem id due to its con-
tinuing reunsibility for coordinating the collection of intel-
ligence infc)rmation bearing upon the national security, and the
fact that same of the publications acquired will have value in
that cunnection. Therefore, this is an undertaking which can
be most efficiently initiated and organized by LI.A. action.

The amendment recommended in paragraph 1 is necessary.
to enable competent, highly qualified and experienced
personnel of the Department of State to servo on assima-
ment to the Central Intelligence Group and does not exclude
such personnel because they happened to have been born
abroad of American parents, or of foreign parents
and
came to the United States as children. It is believed that
an arbitrary exclusion of such persons is unrealistic and
undesirable. The amendment recommended provides a workable

LETTER TO THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF
THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
April 29, 1946
Dear Admiral Souers:
I havo reviewed the draft of a proposed CIG directive
concorning "policy on clearance of p,.)rsonnel for duties with
Central Intelligence Group", enclosed with your letter of
April 25, 1946.
The minimum investigation of CIG personnel as set forth
in the directive would appear to be satisfactory from the
standpoint of determination of an individual's qualifications
in the light of the personnel standards from the security stand-
point set up in the directive. I would like to suggest that
the provision that a minimum of 10 years honorable government
service where there is no subsequent information creating 'a
suspicion of disloyalty or question as to discretion may con-
stitute the basis for clearance of an individual for duties
with the Central Intelligence Group may make possible tho
entry of unsatisfactory persons into the employment of the
Central intelligence Group.
It is believed that there are many persons in govL?rnment
employtent for a period of ten years or more and who have
what appears to bo unblemished records insofar as integrity and
loyalty is concerned who do not make satisfactory employeos
for the Central Intellig,:nce Group from the sc.curity standpoint.
I would like to suggest that consideration be given to eliminating
this provision and that an investigation be required of all
persons, or that they must have undergone a satisfactory
previous security investigation.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ J. EDGAR HOOVER

PROPOSED C.I.G. DIRECTIVE
POLICY ON CLEARANCE OF PERSONNEL FOR
DUTIES WITH CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE GROUP
1. The President's letter of 22 January 1946, referring to
functions of the National Intelligence Authority and the Direc-
tor of Central Intelligence, stated: "In the conduct of their
activities the National Intelligence Authority and the Director
of Central Intelligence Shall be responsible for fully protect-
ing intolligonco 0ourcos and methods."
2. The activities of the Central Intelligence Group require
constant handling of classified matter whose unauthorized dis-
closure would cause exceptionally grave damage to the nation.
It is imperative that the highest degree of security be main-
tained to prevent either unauthorized disclosures of classified
matter of any activity which would impede or impair the objec-
tives sought to be accomplished by the National Intelligence
Authority and the Director of Central Intelligence.
3. The accomplishment of the security objective requires that
personnel assigned to the Central Intelligence Group be
individuals:
a. of excellent character who are native-born citizens of
the United States and who have no member of the immediate
family or next of kin thereof subject to a foreign power;
b. whose loyalty, integrity, discretion and trustworthi-
ness are unquestioned;
c. whose financial status and habits are such as to render
unlikely their succumbing to any temptation arising from
these sources.

thereto, will be investigated to determine their qualifications
with respect to the standards set forth in paragraph 3 above,
and individuals qualifying thereunder will be cleared to handle
TOP SECRET information and be considered eligible for duties
with the Central Intelligence Group.
6. It is the responsibility of each department required to
furnish personnel for duties with the Central Intelligence Group
to investigate and effect proper clearance, for each individual
furnished by their service. Clearance shall include a certifi-
cation to the Central Intelligence Group to the effect that the

each case by the Security Officer, C.I.G., and final decision
as to acceptability of an individual for assignment to the
Central Intelligence Group will rest with the Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence.

pleted by the respective Departments prior to the assignment of
the personnel to the Central Intelligence Group whenever pos-
sible. However, in cases of personnel already assigned or

to the national intelligence mission, and
(2) What Governmental agencies should participate in
the preparation of JANIS.
c. To make recommendations on a and b above.

March 12, 1943
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 nPcessary 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.
4. 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 prearation
of such papers and allocation of responsibility to such agencies.
5. Attached for information of your Planning Staff is a
memorandum prepared by Lieut. Edward L. Ullman, Executive Sec-
retary of J.I.S.P.B., entitled "The Future of JANIS".*

"for consideration and any action considered appropriate."
2. The need for coordination of collecting activity is not
peculiar to the China Theater. The issues raised in the Plan
submitted typify broad collecting problems which the National
Intelligence Authority must consider on a world-wode basis.
Until these general collecting problems have been duly dealt
with, the solution of the problems posed in the Plan may be
incomplete. However, a study should be made to determine wheth-
er interim action is necessary in this case. The Central In-
telligence Group will conduct a survey based upon the following
outline:
a. The survey will include an examination of all
facilities for the collection of intelligence information
in China, in order to determine on an interim basis:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON .
February 20, 1946
MEMORANDUM FOR ADMIRAL SOUERS
SUBJECT: Intelligence from Foreign Language Press in the
United States.
1. There are more than 1,000 foreign langunge newspapers
and magazines in the United States. They serve a large minority
of the population, since according to the 1940 census there
were then 11,500,000 persons of foreign birth and some
23,000,000 of foreign parentage in this country, and 22,000,000
persons reported some language other then English us their
mother tongue.
2. The foreign language papers in this country are an im-
portant source of both foreign and domestic intelligence.
They receive information from correspondents abroad and by moil
from individuals abroad, ond from foreign personalities who
come to this country. They frequently carry information not
available in the English language press. They are particular-
ly a source of information about personalities and political
movements in foreign countries in advance of the time when such
policies and movements attract enough ottention to get into the
English language press or into other usual sources of infor-
mation.
3. The foreign language papers reflect political attitudes
and controversies in foreign countries, especiolly the atti-
Iudes of apposition groups, who sometimes have their principal
bnse and their principal medium of expression in the United
States.
4. Attitudes of foreign language groups in the United States
have to be taken into account in the conduct of foreign re-
lations, in that powerful minorities in the United Stntes can
influence public opinion end thereby limit the freedom of the
government in dealing with foreign problems. Foreign issues
are sometimes mntters of violent agitation in this country,
PS witness the steady stream of pro-Soviet and anti-Soviet
propaganda that is carried on by Polish, Lithuanian, Slovekian,
Rumanian, Hungarian, Croatian and Serb newspapers in this
country.
5. In the conduct of our information program for foreign
countries, it is important to know the issues that are being
debated in the corresponding foreign language press in this
country.
6. Just prior to srid during the war various government
agencies concerned themselves with the foreign longuage press.
The Department of Justice had a unit which read the publica-
tions from primarily the security standpoint. The counter-
intelligence units of the Armed Forces did something along the
same line. But the Dnly attempt at comprehensive coverage

(not, however, including Asiatic lnnguage papers) was the work
of the Foreign Nationalities Brench of OSS, which began in 1941.
In eddition to reading and reporting upon the European foreign
language papers of European and Near East nationnlity groups
in this country, it also maintained contact with foreign
individuals in the United States and with the leaders of foreign
nationality groups and movements here.
7. The annual budget of the Foreign Nationalities Branch,
which was located in New York City, ran from $250,000 to
:300,000, of which $1,000 per month wns paid to the Overseas
News Agency for a rending and translating service. By the
fall of 1945, when the Foreign Nationalities Branch passed
into the Interim Research and Intelligence Service in the Stete
Department, most of the actual reading of the foreign language
papers wae done by Overseas News Agency, and the staff of the
Branch spent its time writing reports based upon those reedings
end keeping in touch with foreign language personalities.
U. Shortly after the Interim Research and Intelligence
6ervice was set tlia the Foreign Nationalities Brnnch hed to
be liquidated for lack of funds.
9. A number of people. in various Departments of the Govern-
ment, ns well as some private individuals, have either written
or come to see me, urging that coverage of the foreiRn language
'Dress be resumed. The Coordinating Committee of the Department
of Stete hs been studying the problem recently, from the angle
of the Office of International and Cultural Affairs, which
conducts the short-wave broadcesting to foreign countries. The
krmy end Navy have an interest in this mntter from the stand-
point of domestic Intelligence, and they and the State Dee,art-
ment are interested in it as a source of foreign intelligence.
10. It is believed that the matter deserves the attention of
the National Intelligence Authority, and it is therefore sug-
gested that the Director of Central Intelligence take the
matter under advisement with a view to recommending:
a. What coverage of the foreign language press in the
UniTed States it is desirable to maintain for intelligence
purposes?
b. By what means can such coverage best be obtained?
c. What agency or agencies can best do the job, and, if
more than one agency can participate, how should the work
be divided between them?

D.I.A. VIEWS ON PROPOSED EXECUTIVE ORDER "DIRECTING THE

Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence
1. By letter of 27 February, the Bureau of the Budget requested
a statement of the views of the National Intelligence Authority
with respect to a proposed Executive Order "Directing the
Cooperation of Government Agencies in the Coordination of Foreign
Intelligence Activities of the United States." Copies of the
letter and proposed Executive Order are enclosed.
. 2. It is recommended that the National Intelligence Authorit;)
authorize the Director of Central Intelligence to reply to the
Assistant Director, Bureau of the Budget, presenting the views
of the N.I.A. as follows:
"The National Intelligence Authority has considered the
proposed Executive Order 'Directing the Cooperation of
Government Agencies in the Coordination of Foreign
Intelligence Activities of the United States' enclosed.
in your lej7,ter of 27 February 1946. In carrying out the
President's Directive of 22 January the National Intolli-
gence Authority has so far encountered no impediment which
would constitute a basis for recommending that the Directive
should be superseded by an Executive Order. However, the
N.I A. offers no objection to the issuance of such an
Executive Order, provided that its effect will be merely
to confirm and formalize the status of the N.I.A. as a
cooperative interdepartmental activity, rather than a new
or independent agency requiring legislation for its
existence.

an interim matter but is intended to be permanent. In this
connection, the question is raised whether the phrase
lincludin Title I of the First War Powers Act, 1941 (55
State. 836)1 should be specifically mentioned in the
statement of authority upon which the Executive Order
will rest. If the phrase is not necessary the N.I.A. feels
that it should be omitted, since it appears to imply that
some further action may be necessary upon the expiration
of the first War Powers Act."

MEMORANDUM FOR: REAR ADMIRAL SIDNEY W. SOUERS,
DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT:
The Practicability of State Department
Operation of FBIS (Foreign Broadcast
Intelligence Service)
As a result of the discussion during the meeting of the
Intellisonoe Advisory Board on May 9, 1946, and a subsequent
conference with representatives of the Central Planning Staff of
CIG and G-2, the Department has made a careful study of the
practicability of its taking over the operation of FBIS from the
War Department. The Department concludes:
a. That it is not practicable for it to assume responsi
5
bility for the operation of FBIS.
b. That it concurs with the Director of Central Intelligenc
in the view that the War Department should properly continue
to have responsibility for the operation of FBIS, at least
durini2; fiscal 1947.
c. That a comprehensive program for the relocation of the
facilities used by FBIS should be undertaken to improve the
coverage of broadcast intelligence.
d. That direction of the monitoring effort should be as-
sumed by the Director of Central Intelligence, and'that the
Department is prepared to collaborate closely with th.3 Director
in that connection.
e. That the service provided by FBIS is of great value,
and that the Department will be ready to support budget re-
quests for FBIS,

a. It is agreed that performing the function of monitoring

organization bettor adapted to sorvo the needs of authorized ,

,
ruquired monitoring system can bo performed most ufficiontly
by tho War Dopartment.
b. Tho Stato Dupartment is the primary. user of the moni-
torod material, although the War and Navy Departments also
have an intorost. A Central Intolligencu Group function is
thu operation of intolligence survicos whon such survicos
are providud the several intulligonce agencies. Thus, it.
appears that operation of this monitoring system is a CIG
rosponsibility. In lieu of CIG, tho alternative is that the
State Department perform the sorvicu. Under no ciroumstances
should tho 1,120 Dopartment engago in a continuing basis in
this prodominately nonmilitary intulligenco function.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITY
PROVISION FOR MONITORING OF PRESS AND
PROPAGANDA BROADCASTS OF FOREIGN POWERS
Report by the Director of Central Intelligence
with the unanimous concurrence of the
Intelligence Advisory Board
1. During the war, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) conducted a foreign broadcast intelligence service
(FBIS), which monitored press and propaganda broadcasts of
foreign powers. The FCC was in process of liquidating
this agency when its functions were taken over by the War
Department on an interim basis on 30 December 1945. The
War Department requested that the Director of Central
M. telligence assume responsibility for the proper disposition
of the former FBIS function. An ad hoc committee was ap-
pointed by. C.I.G. action to make this study. Their report
has been submitted to the Director of Central Intelligence
and the Intelligence Advisory Board.
2. After consideration of all evidence submitted in
the case, the Director of CentralIntelligence concludes
that:
a. the function of monitoring press and propaganda
broadcasts of foreign powers is necessary;
b. the present organization performing this function
under control of the War Department should be liquidated and
supplanted by a new, organization better adapted to serve the
needs of authorized intelligence agencies;
c. the operation of the required monitoring system
can be most efficiently performed by the War Department
under directives as to collection and distribution to be
issued by the Director of Central Intelligence.
Discussion upon which these conclusions are based is contained

PROPOSED N.I.A. DIRECTIVE
PROVISION FOR MONITORING PRESS AND
PROPAGANDA BROADCASTS OF FOREIGN POWERS
Pursuant to paragraph 1 of the letter from the President,
dated 22 January 1946, which designated this Authority as
responsible for planning, developing, and coordinating the
federal foreign intelligence activities so as to assure the most
effective accomplishment of the intelligence mission related to
the national security, the following policies and procedures
relating to the function of monitoring press and propaganda
broadcasts of foreign powers are announced:
1. The function of monitoring press and propaganda broadcasts
of foreign powers is an essential means of collecting intelligence
information required by the intelligence agencies of the State,
War, Navy., and other governmental departments. It will be
operated by the War Department so as to carry out collecting and
distributing missions assigned by the Director of Central Intelli-
gence.
2. The present organization carrying on this function under the
control and direction of the War Department will be liquidtud.
Concurrently with the liquidation, a now foreign broadcast.
monitoring service will be organized and operated by. the War
Department so as to servo, with a minimum of interruption, the
intelligence agencies subject to our coordination. This service
will be given a now name by the War Department.
3. The Director of Central Intelligence will be responsible for
the assignment of appropriate collecting and distributing missions
to the War Department official charged with the operation of this

service. Those missions will be such as to meet the needs of
the intelligence agencies subject to our coordination.
4. The State and Navy Departments will give to the War
Department such assistance and the use of such facilities,
within their respective capabilities, as may be necessary
properly to fulfill the mission herein assigned.
5. The War Department will take the necessary budgetary
action to carry out the program herein initiated.

DISCUSSION
1. The function of monitoring press and propaganda broad-
casts of foreign powers is an overt means of obtaining intelli-
gence information of use to the intelligence agencies of State,
War and Nav7 Departments.
2. This function was originally undertaken by FBIS under the
FCC early in 1941 as a result of recommendations made by
the Defence communications Board.
3. The FBIS was organized functionally into: an office of
the Director which gave general supervision to the service;
a Monitoring Division responsible for preparing the monitoring
schedule for all FBIS stations and of providing excerpts from
program S monitored near Washington; a Publications Division'
responsible for preparing and issuing reports on incoming
broadcasts for rapid distribution to government agencies re-
questing them and for maintaining a central background file;
an Administrative Services Division responsible for mimeograph-
ing, collating, and distributing the processed reports; and a
field organization responsible for operating field stations
located at strategic points for interception of foreign broad-
casts not monitored in the Washington area. In addition, the
field organization has maintained offices located at London
and Cairo which have had access to similar material monitored
by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the British
Ministry of Information respectively. Changes in these
arrangements with the British may require a revision or expan-
sion of U.S. coverage in Europe and the Middle East,

CONFIDENTIAL
4. The War Department was informed in December 1945 that the
FCC was in process of liquidating the FBIS. The War Department
thereupon expanded its monitoring program to meet the need
arising from this liquidation. The War Department employed
former FBIS personnel, effective 30 December 1945, and has
since acquired by transfer all FBIS facilities, including
those held by lease or contract. The War Department arranged
for the renegotiation of outstandinp leases and contracts.
5. The function of monitoring foreign press and propaganda
broadcasts should be continued since it is of value to the
intelligence agencies of the State, War, Navy, and other
government departments. Based upon a survey, the Department
of State appears to have the greatest use for the product of
such monitoring, The necessary budget arrangements to main-
tain this function should be made for the Fiscal Year 1947.
The War Department is the only agency now prepared to under-
take this budget problem and it has included the necessary funds
in its budget requirements
6. It appears that the present organization carrying on the
former functions of the FBIS under War Department direction
should be liquidated for the following reasons:
a. Its reports are circulated too generally to organiza-
_
tLons and individuals, Lncluding foreign agencies. In
order that proper intelligence direction may be given te
lets activities, its product should be restricted to
authorized intelligence agencies of the Federal government.
b. The personnel of the organization have not been
screened for security. Adequate screening is essential,
since disclosure of the direction Riven to the activithes
of the organization would be detrimental to thi.s Nation's
interests and security

7. The present organization should be supplanted by a new
organization capable of performing the monitoring function
required by authorized intelligence agencies of the Federal
government.
U. Central direction of the monitoring effort should be
given in order to insure that the specific needs of all proper
recipients are considered. This direction can be given by
the Director of Central Intelligence, advised by a committee
including a coordinator from the Central Intelligence Group
and members from A-2, G-2, State, and ONI.
9. Under such central direction, any of the three departments
concerned could operate the monitoring, editing and distributing
of the press and propaganda broadcasts of foreign powers.
a. However, curtain pruliminar.y steps would be required
before State or Navy could undertake the opo ration, in-
cluding:
(1) Provision for the necessary administration and
supply;
(2) Transfer of the budget from War Department to
the department which would take over the operation;
(3) Arrangements for the necessary communication
facilities between the field and Washington;
(4) Screening of personnel for security purpos,
Lncluding any members of the present organization who
may be re-employed in tliu new organization.
b. Continued operatLon by the War Department would
require only screening of the personnel.
10. Operation by the Central Intelligence Group (as distin-
guished from central direction of effort) would require that
the same steps outlined under 9 8, above, be taken, with
particular emphasis on arrangements for administration and
supply.

11. Paragraph 3 c, of the Presi&mt's letter of January 22
requires the Director of Central Intelligence to perform,
for the benefit of intelligence agencies of the State, War
and Navy Departm I Ients, such services of common concern as
the National Intelligence Authority determines can be more
efficiently accomplished centrally." It appears clear that
direction of monitoring effort for the benefit of those in-
telligence agencies can be accomplished more efficiently
centrally. However, with regard to efficiency of actual
operation, little evidence can be found to justify a con-
clusion that operation by the Central Intelligence Group would
be more efficient than operation by one of the departmunts.
In any event, the evidence is not strong enough to justify
the establishment of the required overhead facilities in the
Central Intelligence Group, duplicating those already existing
in other agencies. The following comments on relatLve efficiency
also apply:
a. Lack of organic communication facilities militates
against efficient and economical operation by the State
Department.
b. Lack of direct staff control of monitoi-ing facilities
by ONI militates against efficient operation by the Navy
Department.
c. Lack of organic communication facilities and
established overhead facilities militates against efficient
and economical operation by the Central Intelligence Group.
Moreover, it appen:-s that the C.I.G. is not legally
authorized to assume the contractual obligations involved.
d. Considering that the War Department has none of the
lacks specified in a to c above, it is believed that opera-
tion of the function by the War Department would be some-
what more efficient and economical than by any other agency.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE GROUP
SURVEY OF THE FUNCTION OF MONITORING PRESS
AND PROPAGANDA BROADCASTS OF FOREIGN POWERS
Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence
1. During the war the Federal Commun cations Commission(FCC)car
ducted a Foreign Broadcasting Intelligence Service (FBIS) which
monitored press and propaganda broadcasts of foreign powers.
2. The FCC was in the process of liquidatitT this agency when
its functions were taken over by the War Department on an interim
basis on 30 December 1945. The War Department has requested that
the Director of Central Intelligence assume responsibility for
the proper disposition of former FBIS functions with a view to
determining the most appropriate Government agency to monitor
foreign propaganda broadcasts on a coTtinuing basis and make the
necessary recommendations to the National Intelligence Authority
(Enclosure "B").
3. It appears that this study should be undertaken as a matter
of urgency. The Central Intelligence Group is prepared to
furnish the steering member of an interdepartmental committee,
and believes that such a committee should be organized at once to
make the necessary study.
4. Paragraph 3 of N.I.A. Directive No. 1 provides a procedure

SURVEY OF THE FUNCTION OF MONITORING PRESS
AND PROPAGANDA BROADCASTS OF FOREIGN POWERS
Memorandum by the Director of Central Intelligence,
with the Unanimous Concurrence
of the Intelligence Advisory Board
1. a. During the war the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) conducted a Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service (FBIS)
which monitored press and propaganda l'r)adcasts foreign powers.
The FCC was in process of liquidating this agency when its func-
tions were taken over by the W?r Department on an interim basis
on 30 December 1945.
b. The product of the FBIS was valuable to the State
Department, to the intelligence agencies of the War and Navy
Departments, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and undoubt-
edly to other departments and agencies.
c. Since the interim arrangements will cease at the end.
of the fiscal year 1946, it is essential that the ultimate dispo-
sition of former FBIS functions be determined at an early date.
2. By unanimous approval of the Director of Central Intelli-
gence and the Intelligence Advisory Board an ad hoc committee is
hereby established to consist of five members, one representing
the Director of Central Intelligence and one representing each
member of the Intelligence Advisory Board. This committee will
promptly make a detailed study of fa ilities, resources and
operations for monitoring foreign press and propaganda broadcasts,
and will determine whether this service is of continuing value to
existing Federal agencies. Its report will include recommendations
as to:
a. Which resources, facilities, and operating functions
should be continued in the national interest.

MEMORANDUM FOR REAR ADMIRAL SIDNEY W. SOUERS:
Subject: Monitoring of Foreign Propaganda Broadcasts.
1. During December 1945 the Yar Department was informed that
the Federal Communications Commission was in process of liquidat-
ing its Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service (FBIS) which
monitored press and propuganda broade-,.sts of foreign powers.
Although systematic coverage of foreign propaganda broadca,sts
was believed primarily the concern of .Lhe State Department, it
.vis also valuable as an auxiliary acti.;ity b3 the intelligence
functions of the War ana Navy Departments. Other government
agencies were served by the product of the FBIS. Therefore, as
an interim measure only, pending any program the State Department
might initite, the 14..r Department expanded its monitoring
to meet the need !:rising from the liquidation of FBIS (Tab

renegotiation of outstanding leases and contracts; which now
constitute a charge against its current operating expenses. Pend-
ing detailed arrangements, it acquired by loar fixed flcilitics

to continued FBIS operations. See Tab "C" for the functional
organization of FBIS.
3. It is inappropriate and outside of the scope of its responsi-
bilities for the War Department to continue monitoring foreign
press and propaganda broadcasts beyond the fiscal year 1946
(June 30, 1946). Another government agency should be prepared to

proposed that the Director of CentrIll Intelligence assume
responsibility for the proper disposition of the FBIS and its
related Central Intelligence functions and make the necessary
recommendations to the National Intelligence Authority with n
view to determining the most appropriate government agency to
monitor foreign propaganda broadcasts on a continuing basis. It
is recommended that the War and Navy Departments be informed as
early as practicable as to the ultimate disposition of FBIS.

Dear Mr. Porter:
The 1r Department is idvied that the Federal Communica-
tions Commission is liquidating the Foreign Broadcast Intelli-
gence Service (FBIS), which monitors and digests propaganda
broadcasts of foreign powers.
Systematic coverage of foreign propaganda broadcasts is
believed primarily the conc:ern of thc State Department. It also
is valuable to the War and Navy Departments. In the circum-
stances of these times it is an essential source of intelligence.
;Is an interim measure, pending any program the State Department
my initiate, the Wnr Department plans to expand its monitoring,
program to meet the need arising from the liquidation of the
FBIS.
It is proposed that all FBIS personrel, without change of
grade or duties or accrued leave, be transferred to the War
Department prior to 31 Decefftser 1945 and that the Commission hol6
the personnel together by continuing operations pending an
orderly determination and transfer of tse essential to con-
tinued operations.
It is considered important that 'Igreement in principle to
the necessary transfers be reached immediately in order to avd
loss of continuity and of experienced personnel. A mutually
satisfactory settlement of the details ran readily be made by
rer)resentatives of the .41.-r Departmerit and of the Commission. The
G-2 Division will represent the War Department in this matter.
