overlooked.
3. Before proceeding to the recommendations, I should like
to make some general observations. First, with respect to the In-
formation Explosion. As the report makes clear, the Clandestine
Services. have been largely spared this explosion. The volume of
our disseminations has been level for the past six years and is down
13 percent from the 1957-59 average. This is partly the result of
our emphasis on quality above quantity in agent recruitment and field
reporting. It is also due in part to our rejection or'avoidance of, a
good many requirements, and to a certain capacity on the part of -our
station chiefs for ignoring sc.e of the more unnecessary ones that
have been accepted. Nevertheless, we have been scattering an exces-
sive amount of effort that ought to have been concentrated; and we are
taking a number of steps to correct this. I have recently called on the
station chiefs to re-examine all their requirernentts, whether from
Washington, from local customers, or self-generated, and to submit
recommendation_s for cutting back marginal collection. Simultaneously,
in the separate but related field of operational direction, we have been
working out new and better ways of ensuring that all operational direc-
tives call for maximum concentration on essential targets.
4. My second observation concerns the main thrust of the report
with respect to the Clandestine Services. Here I agree that we have
been too complaisant in accepting requirements without sufficiently
rigorous attention to the crucial. question of whether they necessitate
clandestine collection. I agree also that we need to go well beyond
what we have thus far achieved in the use of the solicited requirement
tailored to capabilities. As I have already said, I cannot go along fully
with the proposals on the IPC List, though I favor making that document
a much tighter instrument. Technically, what is done with. the IPC List
will depend in part on what is done about the PINIOs and CI;IOs, but in
essentials List can be improved under any form of National Intel -
ligence Objectives.
5. My remaining observations concern the most serious defect
which I find in the report. This is the treatment of the relationship
between the Collection Guidance Staff and the Clandestine Services. I
am not referring to the strictures against "tribalism"--a vice which I
agree should be rebuked wherever it occurs--and it has. Nor aim I ob-
jecting wholesale to the specific suggestions, many of which make good
-2-

sense. Least of all do I take any exception to the obviously sound
position that the relationship in question should be cooperative, cordial,
and productive. I refer ratite't V I consider a distorted picture
of the actual and potential role of CGS in relation to Clandestine Serv-
ices collection. I do not suggest that the distortion is deliberate. But
the critical faculties so evident in other aspects of the report are sur-
prisingly inactive in this one.
6. What I am describing appears more clearly in the text of
the report than in the recommendations. By pervading the text, how-
ever, it is certain to influence some interpretations of the recomrrenda-
tions. Briefly, without ever denying that CGS is a component of the
Directorate of Intelligence, with authority derived from, and certainly
no broader than, that of the DD/I (or DD/S&T if certain proposed changes
are made), the report nevertheless discusses the CGS role as if CGS
were or should be an executive arm of the Director, with responsibili-
ties extending into the Clandestine Services. This is done in a variety
of ways, the effects of which are cur:u'ative: by writing "CIA" instead
of "DD/I" or "DD/I and DD/S&T"; by writing "central" without saying
central to what, and "sup ervision" without saying who is to be super-
vised; by continually urging the ex nsion of CGS activities without
indicating limits to that expansion; and, among other ways, by calling
on "the upper management of CIA to do everything possible to fortif=y
this function. ". The phrases quoted appear in context in t_ he following
paragraphs from Chapter V. The underscoring is mine.
"The establishment of CGS has provided a helpful central-
izing force within CIA, and subsequent experience has shown
the value of central supervision.... We believe that CGS shoula
be given strong CIA saocort in its dual role as manager of re-
quirelments and as broker for both the requesters and those who
do the collecting." (VIII-4. )
"We have found a great deal of healthy self-examination al-
ready going on in the technical collection fields, especially
SIGINT. Similar scrutiny is being applied only in piecemeal
fashion to human-source collection. We believe that CGS is
uniquely equipped to apply it--with some autho:citcr in CAA and
by persuasion and example in the rest of the community--but,
it will need strong executive backing to do the Job. Now more
than ever there is a oressina need for a, central requirements

control mechanism. We conclude that the wager rnanaaernent
of CIA should do everything IQ s_ible to fortify this function."
(VIII-5.)
-The foregoing passages, with their references to "the upper manage-
ment of CIA, " to CGS as "a helpful central-izing force within CIA, " etc.,
are among a number which seem to suggest that CGS has a higher mis-
sion which should not be affected by the established lines between the
directorates. However, Recommendation No. 26, to which' the second
of these paragraphs leads directly, is something of an anticlimax, since
it merely calls on the Deputy Director for Intelligence to "furnish all
necessary support" to CGS in certain of its major efforts. One is left
uncertain whether the strong language quoted above from the text is to
be taken as giving a meaning to Recommendation No. 26 beyond what
the words of the recommendation itself would indicate. I shall allude
to this question again in my comment on that recommendation.
7. In any case the heavy emphasis on extending the role of the
Collection Guidance Staff is inconsistent with principles which the re-
port itself declares basic. The "Principal Findings" state: ? "There
is too little useful communication between originators of requirements
and those whose fa _ction it is to satisfy -,hem. " (Page 2.) Yet it has.
been our observation that by intervening between analyst and collector
the CGS tends to inhibit, not increase, useful communication. Again
from the "Principal Findings": "We find the gradually growing ability
of CIA to tailor such guidance to the capabilities of human sources to
be far more valuable than any aspect of the formal requirements process
as currently managed. " Agreed that the tai uiloring of guidance to capa-
bilities is more valuable than twhe formal requirements process; what the
sentence does not say is t, at it is CGS which manages whatever is most
formal in the requirements process (including the "A-2 acceptance"
ridiculed in the report), whereas it is not CGS but the collectors (in
direct cooperation with consumers) who have produced the best tailored
guidance. Where CGS has ostensibly produced such guidance, it has
usually served only as an unnecessary middleman.
8. I note that D/DCI/NIPD, in his rnemorandum of comment
addressed to you and dated 10 February 1967, follows generally the
position of the IG report in stating: "The Collection Guidance Staff of
DD/I was designed to fill the need for an instrumentality to bridge the
gap between busy analysts and busy collectors. " That a gap existed at
one time between certain elements of OSI and the CS collectors, and
Approved For Release 2002/Cff .. A=1P85G00105R000100130029-9
 Approved For Release 2002/06/19: CIA-RDP85GO0105R000100130029-9
between certain eler.nents of DD/I (with the notable exception of
CCI) and the CS collectors, cannot be denied. It is my strong belief
that the efforts we have made in!recer -years have indeed narrowed
these- gaps and eliminated some of them. It may be also that the ef-
forts of the Collection Guidance Staff have aided in this process. 1
wish to point out, however, that as the gaps narrow and close, there
is no room for a middleman.
9. There arc really two inconc:.tcncicc here. Onc is betL?wcn
the desire for a consumer-collector dialogue untrammeled by "pompo s.
and sterile correspondence" and the idea that there must be a ~r''Oker"
between consumer and collector; In an effort to harmonize these ideas,
the report comes up with the preposition that the broker will actually
foster the dialogue. In practice ibis is not what happens. The dialogue
flourishes best when. the broker is absent. For the Clandestine Serv-
ices, at least, a broker is unnecessary and even a hindrance, not
only in dealing with consumers outside the Agency but often in dealing
with those inside as well. The Second, related inconsistency is be-
tween the desire for informali r and the supposed need of formal con-
trols. As remarked above, the report finds in the Clandestine Serv-
ices "the most useful evaluation: program that we have noted within
CIA. " (IV-2c.) This program involves a direct and effective collector-
consumer dialogue. The report, however, reflects concern that "nei-
ther the method nor the result, in terms- of cos' ection guidance -to 1.*`^1e
field, has any systematic re]atipns1h-ip to the maiaa.ged develop relent, and
expression by substantive offices of intelligence needs and priorities.
(IV-29. ). It proposes (a) that each DD/i and DD/S&T division chief
"ensure that informal requirements and evaluation requests are re-
corded as soon as possible fo-r purposes of managerial control"
(VI1Z.. -2); (b) 1-that CGS should be, informed of all requests by the r'1
Staff for evaluations by CIA analysts" (IV-30); and (c) that the 1 Staff
provide CGS with the intelligence gap s and guidance derived from its
reporting assessment, (Recommendation No. 15). These proposals
trouble me for two reasons. One is that this massive paperwork may
kill the program. The other is'that the merits of a simple, limited
program, which actually improves collection will have been sacrificed
in the interests of the mere conpePt of "managed develop -nnent... of
needs and priorities. "
10. I do not think it is appropriate in this memorandum to go
into minute detail concerning the wide range of statements made in

 Approved For Release 206! G#-184 6lA-RDP85G00105R000100130029-9
the report about the Collection Guidance Staff. Suffice it to say that
there has been some misunderstanding on the part of the writers of
the report with respect to CGS's real role and actor piish_nents.
11. I read with great interest the chapter entitled "Responsi-
biLtieS of M nagemer?t, " and was surprised to find not a single word
to suggest that the management of the Clandestine Services (or any
other collection organization) has any responsibilities in the area
touched on by the report. Clearly, the aa-Lhors of the report are not
unaware of the general responsibilities of management in the Cla rides-
tine Services. Yet the total blank on this subject suggests what their
thoughts were not directed to it. Actually, I carne to the conclusion
some time ago that on the collection as well as the production side,
management has "inalienable responsibilities 11 in the field of rec uire-
ments and collection guida nee. It is `=north recalli that there are
many kinds of collection guidance, and that sonic of there are tightly
interwoven with operational direction. This detailed, operationally
oriented guidance can of necessity be done only within; the Clandesti e
Services. It is the direct responsibility of the management of the
Clandestine Services. To the extent that the Coll' action Guidance
Staff predicates its relationship with the Clandestine Services upon
a recognition of the responsibilities of that manageme t, I foresee
no difficulty in developing a relationship of increasing mutual advan-
tage.

asked my staff to consider carefully each of the numerous suggestions

Not so. While it is a Clandestine Services position that all ad hoc re-

It is firmly the position of the Cl .ndescine Services that whenever

levying them on the Clandestine collector.

short, the List is to be "tile proper vehicle for carrying most of
the collection requirements to be acted upon by the Clandestine Ser-
vices. _' (=-30.) Finding that -L-. -.e List, by this standard, is
i nCOrr.:glete
and that large parts of it are always out of date, the report proposes
strenuous efforts to make and keep it "comolete, accurate, and cur-
rent. " These efforts, Of course, would require personnel. Of the
secretariat, the report states: s'We are pressed by their battle
against overwhelming odds, but this is Clearly not enough nia-n00w
to accomplish all that doin " e job, in the name of the DC I) US
s
and the DDP recur es. " (E.-_G) It goes o- to say that "some perlea-

to accomplish wha iS proposed. This statement does not appear in

in my view, the r=-rose of the PC List should be suite different.
In the phrase previously quoted on the PNIOs, it should be to 'remind
us all /in this case the Clandestine Services/ of the fundamental reason

keyed to the new Priority (not Com rehenslve) National intelligence

will be a further step in pry program for focussing the efforts of the

vival for which any clandestine intelligence service exists. If the
