MEMORANDUM FOR:
SUBJECT: Arab-Israeli Poet Mortem. 'Phase U
1. After considerable agonizing over the problem and discussions
with you. Pete and Bill. I recommend we produce a sin22e locument
which would address the performance of the production community 22k
(coatrary to my Initial view that we should also review collection). I
would Incorporate the SIGINT, PHOTINT and HUMINT contributions into
the main docmment or possibly attach them as annexes.

2. Tab A is a redraft of Pate's original "Production" paper. The
major chango is the elimination of his first four pages (see Tab B) which
discus* crises In general, mako a number of broad criticisms of the
commaunity's performance during crises. and suggost several remedies.
As you will note from my marginal comments. I have serious reservations
aboit most of the judgments he makes. He would prefer to stick with his
original draft.
3. Before proceeding, I would appreciate your views on whether
Tab A Is on the right track. If consolidated into one paper, the current
SIC114T and PHOTINT drafts could be substantially shortened. The
discussion of the N10 role and requiromints would constitute a single,.
**p"ate section. The conclusions and recommendations sections -.-vould
be expanded to accommodate the points m4o;le in the SICaNT, P140TINT
and -MLIML14T sections.
4. Suggest we have a session with 'Pate and Bill to:decide how we
will proceed.
