DETAILED AGENDA
1> A~~roval of Minutes of Special Meetings held on 3 May 1956 TAB B
ands y 195~-
These meetings dealt with EIC-R-15 Preliminary, "Economic
Implications of the Denial of Middle East Oil". There should be no
problem about these minutes. It might be well to indicate that
EIC-R-15 was well-received by the NSC Planning Board, and that in
view of the reservations indicated by some of the ETC members,
State has withdrawn its request that EIC-R-15 be released 25X1X7
2> Announcements of Chairman,
(The primary purpose of this meeting is to obtain agreement an
EIC-R-1~+, "Sino-Soviet Bloc Postwar Economic Activities in .Underdeveloped
:Areas". This is likely to involve a fairly lengthy discussion. In
view of the fact that the meeting is to begin at 1+00 hours, and that
some of the Pentagon members want to leave by 1600 hours, announcements
should be kept to a minimum.
Draft Annual Pro?~ress Report
You should mention that copies of .the draft Annual Report were TAB C
distributed to members as they entered the room, together with a
considerably mare detailed Secretariat report on individual projects TAB D
and activities of the year,. for the information of the EIC members.
It is hoped that the members' approval of the Annual Report ar any
comYnents thereon can be given to the Secretariat by the end of the
week so that the Report may go forward promptly to the IAC.

3. EIC-S-2~, "Priority National Economic Intelligence Objectives" TAB E
It is ro osed that ~tem_3 on the .Agenda be ta]~en.u before `~
Ite~2.-,.Item 3 should take very little time, and unless it is taken
up prior to Item 2, the meeting is likely to adjourn before this Item
is reached.)
Action Desired.: Approval of the draft Statement of Priority
National Economic Intelligence Objectives, and agreement to submit
the Statement to the IAC for its approval.
Discussion,: The draft Statement of ~ridrity National Economic
Intelligence Objectives (EIC-D-1~-l~l) has been approved by the EIC
ad hoc Working ,Group on National Economic Intelligence Objectives,
except for certain changes of an editorial nature and Item la, which
you suggested be added to the. Working Group draft.
~'he ad hoc Working Group included Ed .Doherty of State, Kingsley
Hamilton of Air Force, Ben Davis of Navy, Margaret Tobin of Army,
25X1Aga and
. .The Statement has also been. discussed with Jahn
Easton, and approval at this meeting is expected to be fro forma.
~+. Consideration of EIC-R-~~ "Sina-Soviet Blac Postwar Economic
Activities in Underdeveloped Areas
Action Desired: Approval of EIC-R-1~+
Discussion: EIC-R-l~+ was approved by the .EIC Working Group

It was hoped that the report would be approved by interim action,
but in view of the comments received and the necessity of clearing
them with the several agencies involved, a meeting was thought necessary.
The attached copy of EIC-R-1~+ embodies. a number of changes suggested!-~
by various participants that seem acceptable to EIC~S and unlikely to
be controversial. ~Qther suggestions of a more controversial nature
have not been embodied in this document. It would seem that the best
procedure would be to go through the document (as was done in -the case of
EIC-R-15 Preliminary, "Economic Implications of the Denial of Middle
East Oil") propo-sing the changes you have on your copy, and offering
opportunity for the members to propose further changes.
Incidentally,- ICA anI Agriculture have previously indicated their
concurrence in the paper as it stood,-and Ed Doherty was satisfied with
it .as it .stood.
For your information, the CIA analysts involved ran iota continuing
difficulties with .State representatives in preparing ..and coordinating
this paper. No claim show-d be made that this paper is an outstanding
product. Under the circumstances, however, it should be approved in
(substantially) its present form as the best product it is practicable
to obtain. Any suggestions involving significant changes might be
considered in cann.ectian with the preparation of future quarterlies.
