MEMORANDJM FOR: Chairman, National Intelligence Council
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Estimate Proposals
Here is some reaction of mine to Estimate proposals which have come
across my desk:
China -- The Prospects for Modernization in the 1980s.
Important subject but I think there is merit in the
reaction of the Senior Review Panel that it could chew
up a lot of resources and is so far-reaching in concept
that it could come out fluffy and could become unmanageable
unless closely watched and perhaps broken down into
components and segments brought out serially. I think
the points made in the Senior Review Panel memo of 4 June
are very well taken.
? I like The Atlantic Bridge: Diagnosis and Prognosis
proposal--also complicated and far-reaching, but
has the ability to focus it well if anybody
can.
? Let's go ahead on the Aftermath of the Falklands as soon
as possible. I agree that to make it a small Community
product should at least be deferred.
