31 July and as a stopgap revision pending review by the Board of
National Estimates of this Directive, as well as of the related
Directive DCID-4/1, in the light of NSCID-4 ("National Intelligence
Objectives"). The Board will draft its proposals in consultation
with the IAC agencies, and with the IPC and thereafter will submit
them to the IAC.
8. Discussion: General Samford expressed his opinion,
and that of the IAC representatives who worked on the subject
revision, that the Directives on national intelligence objectives
.merit a general review for the purpose of possible basic revision.
It was brought out by discussion that both estimators and collectors
are interested in and affected by directives on this subject, and
that the guidance of the NSC should be available to intelligence in
this regard.
Matters for NSC Briefing
9. Discussion: Mr. Dulles indicated he would be briefing
the NSC on SE-36/1 and on Indochina. Several members commented
on developments in Indonesia and the desirability of re-examining
