Approval of Minutes

(IAC-M-69 were approved.
Report on Indicators
IAC-D-33 , 33/5)
2. Action: Noted pages 1 through 3 and approved the recom-
mendations with the amendment that paragraph 3 should read as
follows:
"That the IAC Watch Committee arrange for the pro-
duction by the appropriate office or agency of research
studies on those indicators or parts thereof where it
would be desirable to set forth what is known of past
and present conditions and apparent trend."
Discussion of the Status of
Coordination in Berlin
3. Discussion: General Smith reported that in response to
his cable General Truscott had indicated that coordination of
clandestine activities is proceeding satisfactorily and that the
target study is near completion. General Smith indicated that the
need for the coordination of day-to-day operations is still quite
clear as viewed from Washington and that it may be that General
Truscott is not thinking of the same problems which have concerned
the IAC. Therefore, he intended, he said, to send Mr. Kirkpatrick
to Germany to discuss the matter with General Truscott and to
explain in more detail the problem as seen from Washington and the
objective in the proposal. General Smith invited General Bolling
to send a representative with Mr. Kirkpatrick if he considered
that would be helpful. It was the consensus that this course of
action was desirable.
