SECRETARY'S NOTES
1. The attention of the members is invited to their decision
on 16 October that the IAC Standing Committee on Exchanges should
submit an additional oral report within three months on further
activities by the Committee (IAC-M-260, item 4 b). However, the
Chairman of that Committee advises that, because of subsequent
policy decisions affecting the exchange program, the Committee's
activities have been substantially in abeyance during the intervening
period. Under these circumstances, unless specifically requested
to do so by a member, the Chairman does not propose to give such
an oral briefing at this time.
2. No objection having been raised by a member, the Secretary
has authorized release to USIA of NIE 93-57, "Probable Developments
.in Brazil," 8 January 1957 (IAC-M-273, Secretary's Note 4).
3. Unless objection is raised by a member at the next regular
meeting of the IAC, the Secretary proposes to release to USIA
SNIE 11-6-57, "Soviet Gross Capabilities for Attack on the Continental
US in Mid-1960," 15 January 1957.
