Current Intelligence F cmpor;in,
The nne].n.ora.nduzn-i from Mr. Heln.is was based on a sil no-e
l l
condoc:tcd. for c7r1e i'vSCIC Working Group, which I nad~.] st=gin 1_ is
caxryi.~:lg out sevcr-al studies to provide insight on the -asclu:r1trss
and x e ponsive less of intelligence precincts.
I understand that the Working Group reviewed the study
subsequent to the memorandum to you and concluded that the survey,
while useful, was deficient in certain respects:
a) Many of the reports which were considered as intcll gen,lct;
products ma,y be more accurately described as the dis[ribu i.o of rz-i-;
i. ni:ell.i.gence data.
b) There are other reports which were not courted but r nay be
considered to be i7a similar categories with those t11.at were included
in the count
I understand that a review of the iiifornlation upon the
report was based is being made under t:he-a~;sp:ices of the l\ C"=1C
Working Group. I believe, becaus . oft e ].nai;cc :es stated -I.1 0
