2, Presentation on comparative study of US USSR military and

This presentation is in response to your request at an
IAC meeting of 2 November, IAC-M 3, Paragraph 9.. This
work has developed through the collaboration of the IAC
agencies.
3e Draft Terms of Reference., China (for NIE=10) (IAC D-7/1)..
Dr.. Langer
I am in agreement with Dr. Langer r s office on the idea that
Draft Terms of Reference need not be cleared in the IAC
unless issues arise at the working level. Dr. Langer may
wish to raise this point or the Director may wish to raise
it,
NSRB Request for an Estimate. (No document) Dr. Langer
It is my understanding that this request has to do with
Chemical and Biological Warfare,,

General Bolling raised this question and the story of
its handling is in IAC D-5e The IAC Secretariat requested
each agency to submit its requirementse
in IAC D-5/1)o The present document IAC-DT5/2e is are a coated
recommendation prepared by the Secretariat as a means of
getting approval and immediate action on this question.

paper has been in operation for some months. Its
performance has not been adequate in the views of
some of the agencies., possibly for reasons of
personnel.
Before approving these Terms of Reference.,
however, it should be decided whether two Watch
Committees are necessary. I understand that State's
view-is (and it was State that suggested that CIA
have a Watch Committee before it knew of the
Military Watch Committee) that it is satisfied with
the military performance. I doubt seriously if the
Military would agree to the abolition of their success-
ful operation. It seems to me that the zgp~ C
interest should be that this function is properly
being performed collaboratively in the Government
and I question whether it is necessary for it to
be headed by CIA.
Alternative action, therefore., for the approval
of these Terms of Reference is to approve the abolition
of the CIA Watch Committee and the strengthening of
the Military Watch Committee.
