SECRETARY'S NOTE
Effective date of NSCIDs and DCIDs. In his memoranda trans-
mitting copies of the new NSCIDs Nos. 1 through 5, as concurred in
by the NSC and approved by the President, the Executive Secretary,
NSC, indicated that the effective date of these NSCIDs should be
considered as 21 April 1958. Consequently, the IAC agencies should
regard 21 April rather than 1 April, which had originally been agreed
to among the members of the IAC (IAC-M-333, item 3 b), as the
effective date for these NSCIDs. Moreover, since new DCIDs can
only derive their authority from legally effective NSCIDs, those
DCIDs approved by the IAC prior to 21 April 1958 will be considered
effective as of 21 April, rather than as of any earlier date on which
they received IAC approval.
