MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director, Central Intelligence Agency
SUBJECT: Senior Planning Conference
1. At the August management conference we agreed to meet again before
the end of the year to begin the strategic planning process; that meeting is
being scheduled for the week of 5 December. The purpose of the meeting is to
identify the trends/developments that could force major changes in the pattern
of Community resource allocation or responsibilities, and to agree on the
actions necessary to formulate responses to these forces. A preliminary
agenda is attached for your information (Tab A).
2. In order that we may begin our deliberation from a common frame of
reference, a paper prepared by the National Intelligence Council entitled View
of the Future (Tab B), a copy of the current Goals and Objectives (Tab C) and
a list of relevant National Intelligence Estimates (Tab D) are enclosed. The
View of the Future is presented to stimulate thinking about future national
security concerns, and is not intended to be the subject of coordination. You
will recall that the Goals and Objectives were derived from the 1985
Intelligence Capabilities Study and reflect both near-and long-term concerns
as of February 1982. The present set of goals and objectives should be
considered open to revision, consolidation or deletion as appropriate.
3. In order to take maximum advantage of the time available to us at the
offsite meeting, I ask that each of you identify and describe two to three
issues of strategic significance to the Intelligence Community in no more than;'
one page each. These should be sent to the IC Staff by 23 November for
incorporation into the final agenda. erector, P anning and
Policy Staff, is available to answer any nupstions, whirh you might have. He
can be reached on
4. I look forward to another stimulating session with you at
