1. Report of the IAC Ad Hoc
Guided Missile Intelligence
Survey Committee
(IA.C-D-81 / 13, 25 November 1955)
a. Chairman, Ad Hoc Guided Missile
Intelligence Survey Committee led off the discussion by sum-
marizing briefly the conclusions reached by the Committee.
b. Admiral Layton,', supported by Admiral Espe and
General Gaither, took the position that under existing NSC
directives, guided missiles intelligence, being intelligence on
weapons, fell clearly within the responsibility of the Department
of Defense. In short, that guided missiles intelligence is depart-
mental intelligence. He further expressed the view that the
creation of an IAC subcommittee on guided missiles was not the
answer to what is basically a collection problem.
c. General Samford stated that, based on the experience
of the.Air Force as the primary collector of guided missiles intelli-
gence, he believed that there was merit in the idea of a coordinated
community approach. - This approach had demonstrated its value in
the field of atomic energy intelligence.
d. Mr. Dulles expressed the. view that guided missiles
intelligence was national intelligence of the highest priority,
probably of even greater ultimate importance to our national
security than atomic energy intelligence. A concerted. attack on
the problem by the community, under the guidance of an IAC
guided missiles committee, is therefore essential if he and the
community are to discharge their responsibilities under existing
NSC directives.
e. It was agreed that Mr. Dulles would draw up his views
for presentation to the National Security Council under the pro-
cedure provided in NSCID No. 1, paragraph 3 a.

2. No objection having been raised by a member, the Secretary
has authorized release to USIA of
and NIE 11-13/1-55, "Review of Soviet
Foreign Policy in the Light of the Geneva Foreign Ministers'
Conference," both dated 6 December 1955 (IAC-M-221, Secretary's
Notes, Item 1).
3. The Board of National Estimates and the IAC representa-
tives have agreed that a post-mortem is not required on
NIE 11-13/ 1-55, "Review of Soviet Foreign Policy in the Light of
the Geneva Foreign Ministers' Conference, " dated 6 December 1955.
This estimate was based on broad general considerations, rather
than on specific intelligence data. Unless objection is raised by a
member at the next regular meeting of the IAC, therefore, no
post-mortem will be undertaken on this NIE.
