"'. For reasons discussed in the paragraphs above the Subcommittee
had no discussions on intelligence research techniques.
8. The Subcor ittee received no request for special coordination
in this field. Adequate facilities are available in the Economic
Defense c ty for normal coordination functions.
9. The E currently has no active program for improving economic
intelligence research and collection within its field of interest nor
has it realized its full potential as a medium for interagency review
and coordination. To some extent this has been due to the participation
of member departments and agencies on other EIC Subcommittees concerned
with more limited fields which reduces the need for such activity. The
Subcommittee feels that it should identify research and collection
deficiencies in its field and examine its potential for developing a
programs to reduce such deficiencies as exist. It believes that it has
a potential as an interagency medium for review and coordination of the
intelligence prodact dealing with Economic Defense and the membership
will endeavor to have its individual departments or agencies utilize
the Subcommittee for these purposes to the fullest useful extent.
P. Future pro ears of the Subcommittee
The Subcommittee plans to review research and collection
deficiencies in its field during the coming fiscal year and if
requested by the EIC will participate in emergency planning for
economic warfare. Further program planning is contingent on the results
of v, current examination by the Subcoaittee of areas in which the
EDSC possibly can efficiently supplement the program of the Economic
Defense c ty?
