They are working on a brief paper which in general terms will cover
broad time span, such as Cuban missile crisis 1967/1968, etc., and
which will probably relate to budget decisions on resources.)
4. It is understood that the Committee is levying related
requests on policymakers with the Executive Branch.
5. What is developing is an agency-by-agency, as opposed to an
Intelligence Community reaction, to the SSCI requirements. At a
minimum, it would appear important for each agency to format its
response in a consistent uniform manner and to the same degree of
specificity. It is also evident that even an agency-by-agency
response to these broad requirements would require task force
approach and I will start the ball rolling jiithat direction,
leaning on D/NFAC.
