MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: Long-Range'Look at Intelligence Requirements for Central America (U)
Reference: CIA Message 170247, DTG 151807Z March 1982, subject: Request for
Review of Priorities (TSU).
2. (S) As you are aware, DoD has been fully supporting the entire intelli-
gence effort in El Salvador. DIA and the Services have contributed personnel,
systems, and material over the past several months, all on an ad hoc basis.
Each asset has been extended for 30-45 days at a time, and some are now near
the end of originally proposed temporary deployments. This has been extremely
costly and a burden on Service planners which could be relieved by a look at
our long-range requirements.
3. (S) I believe the Intelligence Community is in agreement that the situa-
tion in Central America has reached a point whereby it must be considered a
long-term.regional problem rather than a short term focus on El Salvador.
The quick-fix approach which has guided our actions over the past months will
no longer work.
4. (S) We are now at a decision point on redeployment or extension of DoD
collection assets currently working the El Salvador problem. I believe it
is essential that we meet along with LtGen Faurer to map out a long-term
strategy and discuss requirements. and funding. Such a meeting should be held
at the earliest possible time.
