SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE
INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CORRECTION SHEET
Page, Paragraph
of Final Copy. TEXT (Tentative and Final)
Page 4, Para. 2. Tentative: MR, ARMSTRONG said he would like
to review the Department of State's
position. He said that his Department
had from the beginning of this "char-
ter" problem taken the position that
the National Security Council is the
proper "parent" body for USCIB. He
added that the Department of State
still considers this to be the case.
Thus, he said, the draft NSCID up for
consideration at the present meeting
had returned USCIB to its proper
sphere. He added that, however, in
examining this draft the Department
of State representatives had con-
cluded that certain changes might
be mutually acceptable and benefi-
cial to USCIB members. Thus, for
example, he said, it had been consi-
dered that certain of the provisions
in the draft might better be handled
by later, implementing directives and
some of the phraseology involving re-
petition could be improved. He added
that the result of these conclusions
took shape as an alternate draft of
the NSCID which was somewhat shorter
but essentially-the same as the CIA's
draft, He said that at some time
during the deliberations on the "char-
ter" problem the Department of State
desired that its alternate draft be
put forward for consideration by the
Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC).
He asked whether those present desired
to consider the two drafts simultan-
eously or preferred to postpone con-
sideration of the Department of State's
draft until the CIA's draft had been
checked. He said that perhaps Admiral
Hillenkoetter had decided how this
or should be handled.

Page Para. 2. Final: MR. ARMSTRONG said he would like
to review the Department of State's
position. He said that his Department
had from the beginning of the "charter
problem" taken the position that the
National Security Council is the proper
"parent" body for USCIB. He added that
the Department of State still considers
this to be the case. Thus, he said,
the draft NSCID up for consideration at
the present meeting had returned the
question of "parentage" to the sphere
upon which the Department had previous-
ly expressed agreement. He added that,
however, in examining this draft the
Department of State representatives had
concluded that certain changes might be
mutually acceptable and beneficial to
USCIB members. Thus, for example, he
said, it had been considered that cer-
tain of the provisions in the draft
might better be handled by later, im-
plementing directives and some of the
phraseology involving repetition could
be improved. He added that the result
of these conclusions took shape as an
alternate draft of the NSCID which was
somewhat shorter but essentially the
same as the CIA's draft. He said that
he wished to ask a procedural question
in that at some time during the delib-
erations on the "charter problem" the
Department of State desired that its
alternate draft be put forward for
consideration by the Intelligence Ad-
visory Committee (IAC). He asked
whether those present desired to con-
sider the two drafts simultaneously or
preferred to postpone consideration of
the Department of State's draft until
the CIA's draft had been checked. He
said that perhaps Admiral Hillenkoetter
could decide how this should be handled.

Final:
COLONEL HAYES said that an addi-
tional point was that the actual im-
plementation of such directives within
the member departments or agencies
should be handled by the Departments.
Tentative: MR. ARMSTRONG asked whether this
suggested wording would not act to
deprive the Director of Central Intel-
ligence of a function delegated to him
by the National Security Act wherein
he is designated as the agent for
carrying out the NSC's Intelligence
Directives.
MR. ARMSTRONG asked whether the
suggested wording would not act to
deprive the Director of Central In-
telligence of a responsibility im-
posed upon him by the National Se-
curity Act wherein he is designated
as the agent for carrying out the
NSC's Intelligence Directives.
Tentative: Omitted.
MR. ARMSTRONG suggested that the
paragraph be converted from the nega-
tive to the positive approach by re-
wording it as follows: "The Board
shall leave the internal administra-
tion and management of communication
intelligence activities to the member
departments and agencies."
Tentative: MR. ARMSTRONG suggested deleting
the paragraph altogether as it merely
confused the coordination issue.
MR. ARMSTRONG suggested deleting
the paragraph altogether on two grounds;
one, that it tended to confuse the
duties of the CJO with the overall co-
ordinating responsibility of the DCI,
and, two, that the duties of the CJO
would be more properly set froth ;r an
implementing directive.

Tentative: MR. ARMSTRONG said his office
had prepared the alternate version
as a result of the belief that a
better organized and somewhat shorter
directive would be desirable. He
said that one change had been to re-
organize the draft so that it pre-
ceded from the general to the specific
parts of the plan, and another had
been to omit some features which, it
had been considered, would more appro-
priately be handled by means of imple-
menting directives or are already im-
plicit in the language of the NSA. He
outlined further differences between
the Department of State's draft and
the CIA's draft and added that those
who had prepared the former paper had
not considered command problems in the
field because they had not believed
that the NSCID would affect field
commanders directly.

TEXT (Tentative and Final)
MR. ARMSTRONG said his office
had prepared an alternate version as
a result of the belief that a better
organized and somewhat shorter direc-
tive could be attained. He said that
one change had been to reorganize the
draft so that it proceeded from the
general to the specific parts of the
charter, and another had been to omit
some features which, it had been con-
sidered, would more appropriately be
handled by means of implementing direc-
tives or are already implicit in the
language of the NSA. He outlined
further differences between the Depart-
ment of State's draft and the CIA's
draft and added that those who had pre-
pared the former paper had not con-
sidered command problems in the field
because they had not believed that the
NSCID would affect field commanders
directly. He continued that the prin-
ciple change was in the deletion of
the second part of paragraph 1 of the
CIA's draft and in a transfer of the
relationship of USCIB to the Director
of Central Intelligence to a new
paragraph (paragraph 5), the concept
of which also extends to all other
relations between USCIB and the
Director.
Tentative: MEMBERS discussed the Department
of State's draft and MR. ARMSTRONG,
after reviewing the differences be-
tween the two drafts, expressed his
willingness to take the CIA draft
under advisement if all other members
present preferred that version. He
added that, after study, he would ad-
vise the Chairman of IAC regarding
the Department of State's position.

TEXT (Tentative and Final)
Final: MEMBERS then discussed the De-
partment of State's draft, and it
emerged that some members were not
prepared to consider it in detail at
that time, but would prefer its re-
ference to a working group for re-
conciliation with the CIA version.
MR. ARMSTRONG, after further review-
ing the differences between the two
drafts, stated that in the interest
of expediting the matter he was wil-
ling to take the CIA draft, as amended
during the meeting, under advisement
and inform the DCI ac soon as possible
as to the Department's concurrence or
further suggestion.
Page 16, Para. 9. Tentative: DECISION: The Intelligence Advisory
Committee members and others present
agreed to accept the Central Intelli-
gence Agency's draft NSCID as amended
during this Special Meeting, and direc-
ted the Ad Hoc Secretariat to prepare
and circulate the amended version to
IAC members present as well as to the
Chief of Naval Communications and the
Chief of the Army Security Agency for
study and comment.
Final: DECISION It was agreed that, subject
to the reservations expressed during
the Meeting, the Central Intelligence
Agency's draft NSCID: as amended during
this Special Meeting would be accepted.
