SUBJECT : National Policy on Counterintelligence and
the Establishment of a Committee to
Implement such Policy
1. I desire to acknowledge your memorandum of 1 May 1957,
entitled "National Policy on Counterintelligence and the Establishment
of a Committee to Implement such Policy, " with which was enclosed a
memorandum from the Secretary of Defense, entitled as above, dated
25 April 1957.
2. The Secretary of Defense proposes the organization of a new
committee of nine charter members together with an NSC observer and
Ad Hoc members as appropriate, with a permanent working staff to
determine foreign counterintelligence policies and plans. This com-
mittee, according to the proposal, is to concern itself chiefly with the
policy aspects of counterintelligence and security, with particular
reference to "overseas activities and operations and to counterintelli-
gence relations with international and foreign national counterintelli-
gence organizations."
3. I concur in the view expressed by the Secretary of Defense
that our security requires the most effective utilization of all United
States counterintelligence capabilities. The protection of important
American overseas military installations and personnel requires that
we exercise the utmost vigilance and coordinate our actions to provide
against espionage and infiltration by a potential enemy.

4. The objectives sought can, I believe, be more rapidly and
efficiently achieved by using existing machinery for the task rather
than by creating still another interdepartmental committee and staff.
5. Counterintelligence or counterespionage is a segment of
intelligence operations. It is impossible properly to counter a potential
enemy's action without positive intelligence as to his intentions, capa-
bilities and techniques. In the Intelligence Advisory Committee we now
have a coordinating mechanism in the foreign intelligence field. To
strip that Committee of its jurisdiction over foreign counterintelligence
and to form a new body for this purpose, would create unnecessary
and confusing duplication. If the new committee, as is apparently
contemplated, should undertake to enter into relations with intelligence
and security services abroad, parallel with the relationships which have
been maintained with these services for many years, it would prejudice
existing foreign intelligence liaison activities. Such relationships are
not susceptible of committee management.
6. Membership on the Intelligence Advisory Committee, with
two exceptions, is practically identical with that proposed for the new
committee. Elements of the Department of Defense are represented
on the Intelligence Advisory Committee by the Intelligence Chiefs of
the Army, Navy and Air Force and of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Except
for the Office of Special Investigations of the Air Force, these are also
responsible for the direction of counterintelligence matters in their
respective Departments. While the Office of the Secretary of Defense
is not normally represented on the Intelligence Advisory Committee,
both the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Office of Special
Investigations of the Air Force could be invited to join with the
Intelligence Advisory Committee whenever counterintelligence policies
and operational coordination matters are under consideration.
7. If the Secretary of Defense considers that the present
charter of the Intelligence Advisory Committee is not adequate for
the purposes he has in mind, I should be glad to receive and submit
to the Intelligence Advisory Committee for its consideration any
proposed amendments to the present directives. I am confident that
the foregoing procedure would accomplish the Secretary of Defense's
objectives in the most expeditious, efficient, economical and secure
manner.

8. I am submitting this report in my capacity as Director
of Central Intelligence and not as Chairman of the Intelligence
Advisory Committee. It would seem to be the appropriate procedure
in a matter of this nature, affecting the entire structure of intelli-
gence coordination, for proposals to be considered by the Intelligence
Advisory Committee before, not after, their formalization and sub-
mission to the National Security Council.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AD HOC WORKING GROUP
TO STUDY THE NEED FOR AN ORGANIZATION TO ACCOMPLISH
THE COLLECTION, EVALUATION AND DISSEMINATION OF
INTELLIGENCE IN SUPPORT OF ACTIVITIES DIRECTED TOWARD
RECOVERY OF U. S. NATIONALS HELD IN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
SECTION I. BACKGROUND
1. In November 1955 the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense
(SO) by memorandum to the JCS requested a special study by the Joint
Intelligence Group of:
a. Intelligence requirements for an effective prisoner
identification and repatriation program.
b. Requirements for the necessary organization to
accomplish the collection, evaluation and dissemination
of intelligence in support of activities directed toward
recovery of U. S. nationals held.
in response to this request the JIC approved a study of the
problem which among other actions caused the JCS representative to
the IAC to submit this matter to the Intelligence Advisory Committee
for consideration. It was pointed out that this action would bring to
the attention of the Intelligence Community as a whole the need for
intensified effort on the part of intelligence agencies in support of
operations for recovery or repatriation.
2. Based upon a separate and immediate need for intelligence
regarding unaccounted-for prisoners of war from the Korean War, a
separate memorandum to the JCS in January 1956 requested:
a. Such additional collation of existing information held
by the military departments concerning missing prisoners as
is necessary to put it in the most useful and meaningful form
for U. S. negotiators.
b. Review and revision as necessary of existing EEI's
concerning missing prisoners in order to provide appropriate
identification materials to intelligence collection agencies.

c. An optimum interchange of missing prisoners
information between the military departments.
d. Collection of information on missing prisoners
from possible sources outside of the military
3. Action on this latter request of January 1956 was held up
pending a reply from the IAC as to its action in response to the January
memorandum forwarded to the IAC by the JCS representative.
4. In February of 1956, the IAC requested the State and Defense
Prisoner Officers (a two-man committee formed earlier to monitor
activities in the repatriation field) to elaborate on their analysis of the
existing problem and their recommendations as to corrective actions.
5. On 2 March 1956 the State and Defense Prisoner Officers
provided a memorandum for the Chairman, IAC, which recommended
that the following arrangements be made within the Intelligence Com-
munity.
a. Determine which agencies of the U. S. Government,
both within and outside of the Intelligence Community, are
capable of contributing substantially to the collection of
intelligence pertaining to Americans believed held in
Communist countries.
b. Insure that all available intelligence resources are
utilized to locate and identify U. S. nationals held in Com-
munist prisons and to collect and disseminate pertinent
information to the Department of State in the cases of U. S.
civilians, to the Department of Defense in the cases of
United States military personnel, or both to both of these
Departments when it is not known whether the individual is
civilian or military.
C. Provide for the establishment of an interviewing
guide containing instructions for the collection of this type
of intelligence, with a supplement containing photographs,

vital statistics and pertinent biographical material about
personnel possibly held and the history of their disap-
pearance or capture. This collection guide and supplement
should be reproduced in legible and compact form and made
available to all field collection agencies. The guide sup-
plement should permit more pointed and accurate reporting
from the field and facilitate feed-back from time to time of
intelligence available within the Washington area. In addi-
tion the guide supplement would provide essential background
material for use in negotiations.
d. To insure that effective procedures exist-within
the intelligence community for evaluating and collating
information collected to insure accomplishment of b. and
c. above.
6. In April 1956 the item was considered in the meeting of the
IAC. The IAC approved the recommendations of the two Prisoner
Officers and agreed to the establishment of an ad hoc working group to
cope with the problems identified by the Prisoner Officers. The De-
partment of Defense provided the Chairman for the working group. In
addition, the Departments of Army, Navy, Air Force, and State, the
JCS, the CIA, the FBI and the AEC were represented on the working
group.
7. In the meantime, in order to fulfill the requirement set
forth in paragraph 2 above, which was generated by Department of
State plans to enter into direct negotiations at Geneva with Chinese
Communist officials for an accounting on unaccounted-for U. S.
personnel held by the Chinese Communists, the Special Assistant to
the Secretary of Defense (Special Operations), in May 1956, requested
the military services to provide full documentation in each case (450)
covering the unaccounted-for military personnel from the Korean War.
The military services had all responded to this request by 1 July 1956
and the materials were turned over to the Department of State for use
by the U. S. Negotiator at Geneva (U. Alexis Johnson).
8. Because of the gaps in this material furnished by the military
services and their consequent inadequacy, the services were directed by
the Secretary of Defense on October 27, 1956 to initiate a program to

screen exhaustively all files and records on each case in order to
provide as completely as possible the identification data about each
person, a complete account of the circumstances surrounding his
capture or disappearance, and any evidence which would demonstrate
when and where the individual was in the hands of the Communists.
A suggested EEI (see Annex "A" attached) was furnished to the
Services as a guide, and they were directed to make an initial report
not later than December 1956 and quarterly thereafter until further
notice.
9. This directed action has resulted in the production to date,
and forwarding to the Department of State for further forwarding to
Ambassador Johnson of detailed dossiers on 53 Army personnel and
9 Navy personnel (including Marine Corps). The Department of the Air
Force is carrying out a similar survey but has not yet furnished addi-
tional data beyond that furnished in mid-1956 which, however, was in
considerably more detail than that furnished by the other services at
that time.
SECTION II, CURRENT STATUS OF THE AD HOC WORKING GROUP
ESTABLISHED IN AGREEMENT WITH THE IAC
10. The Chairman of the working group left the Department of
Defense (Air Force Staff) in January 1957 and a new Chairman has not
been designated.
11. The committee has not met since July 1, 1956.
12. The committee is still officially in existence, not having been
dissolved or discharged by the IAC.
SECTION III, CONCLUSIONS
13. Within the Department of Defense, efforts to collect, collate,
and disseminate all available intelligence and information on. missing or
unaccounted-for military personnel appears to be progressing satis-
factorily.

14. The residual problem appears to center around taking
steps to insure that all agencies responsible for determining the
status of U. S. personnel missing and unaccounted-for formulate their
intelligence collection requirements in this area, and that the results
of subsequent collection and collation efforts be made available to the
Departments of State and Defense, the departments of primary respon-
sibility in recovery and repatriation operations.
SECTION IV, RECOMMENDATIONS
15. That the Ad Hoc Working Group (Sec. II) be dissolved.
16. That the IAC member agencies recommend to offices within
those agencies which are responsible for determining the status of U. S.
personnel held, now or in the future by Communist countries, or bearing
on otherwise accounting for missing personnel, as follows:
a. Review of intelligence collection requirements
related to such personnel actions.
b. Forwarding for IAC consideration such intelligence
collection requirements in this area concerning which it is
concluded that IAC action is appropriate.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Intelligence Advisory Committee
SUBJECT : - Recommendations. fo.r. Improving Collection
of Intelligence on Americans Held in
Communist Countries
Nature-of the. Problem
1. The United States Government and the American people
traditionally ..have felt deep concern at the unjust datentign of
American citizens in foreign countries. The Government is ob-
ligated'to take every possiblestep to procure therelease of such
citizens. The impri sonment of Americans in Communist countries
presents a newand unusual problem in this field because of the
exceptional. difficulty of obtaining accurate intelligence.
2. In negotiating for release of prisoners held or believed
held by Communist countries, it has. become increasingly apparent
that improved intelligence is an essential base for effective action
to recover personnel. The Communistshave demonstrated again
and again that unless the United States can identify the subject of
negotiation' and provide evidence that he is being held by the
Communists, there. is little chance of effecting, his. release.
3. The intelligence available. to support these recovery
activities has usually been collectedas a by-product of other
intelligence. The material provided the nego.tiator.shas been
compiled by persons outside the intelligence community who have
little appreciation of the task of negotiating face to face with the
Communists.
4. Most intelligence reports have been lacking. in detail and
specificity. General lack of emphasis on this problem has resulted
in reporting of isolated bits of information which have not been
correlated with existing intelligence. The reports reflect the
shortage of background information in the hands of the field
collector s.

5. While there are indications of. failure to c-ross-4isseminate
the reports available to all interested agencies,- these p1roblems of
communicationare rapidly being eliminated. by improved liaison
within the:.Go.vernment and, by concentrated effort on, the part of State
and Defense Department personnel. However, there are certain
areas.. that.. could benefit. by further examination.
Ezamples,:of Particular Problems
6. In the negotiations-being:-conducted in Geneva with the
Chinese Communists by Ambassador Johnson, he has -been severely
handicapped in demanding an accounting for 450 American servicemen
missing from the Korean war because the records on these men are
inadequate. He has been unable to cite specific, convincing facts in
individual, cases to demonstrate that the Communists should have
.,knowledge.. of the fate of these persons. One important reason for the
inadequacy of the information. is the fact. that neither the original
collectors of the intelligence nor. the per.s.ons..who.compiled the records
for use in Geneva were properly instructed as to the type of intelli-
gence. to be collected. and. the use tc which. it. was to be put.
7. Many agencies are currently engaged in,.interrogating
German-prisoners returning from Soviet prison camps. The in-
terraga.torsare handicapped in exploiting this-excellent source of
intelligence on Americans held in the USSR because they lack
proper-guidance and background material on missing persons.
8. It is recommended that arrangements be made in the
intelligence community:
(a) to determine which agencies of the-United States
Government, both. within and. outside of the, intelligence community,
are capable of contributing substantially to the collection of intel-
ligence of Americans believed held in Communist countries;
(b) to. ensure that all available intelligence resources
are utilized to locate and identify United States nationals held in
Communist prisons and to collect and disseminate pertinent

information to the Department of State in the. cases of United States

knownwhether the individual is civilian or military;
(c) to provide for. the establishment of an interviewing
guide containing instructions for the collection of this type of
intelligence, with a supplement containing photographs, vital
statistics, and pertinent biographical material about personnel
possibly held, and history of their disappearance or capture. This
collection ,guide and supplement should be reproduced in legible and
compact. form and made available to all field collection agencies.
The guide supplement should enable. more pointed and accurate re-
porting from the field and facilitate feedback from. time. to time of
intelligence available within the Washington area to field. agencies.
In addition the guide supplement would provide essential background
material for use in. negotiation;
(d) to ensure that effective procedures exist within the
intelligence community for evaluating and collating information
collected to insure the accomplishment of b) and c) above. (Without
proper evaluation in the past, information pertaining to personnel
not readily identified was not made available to the appropriate
agencies. )

Intelligence Requirements on US Citizens
Held in Sino-Soviet Bloc Countries
1. On 15 February, IAC representatives and interested
State and Defense personnel met with the Secretary to discuss
the Joint Staff request that the I-AC consider steps which would
aid the US to determine the status or the recovery of missing
persons held in Sino-Soviet Bloc countries.
2. The immediate problem, reduced to its essentials, is
to get to the State Department Prisoner Officer and to the Defense
Department Prisoner Officer, who are the responsible action
officers, information from any and all sources on specific
individuals, which when assembled and analyzed could lead to the
determination of their status.
3. It was agreed that little can be done by the intelligence
community until precise requirements are drawn up by the State
and Defense action officers.
4. Therefore, pending further IAC action, the State De-
partment Prisoner Officer and the Defense Department Prisoner
Officer are being requested to draw up jointly a statement of their:
a. Requirements for the dissemination and exchange
of intelligence;
b. General requirements for information; and,
c. Special requirements for information (specific
individuals or information peculiar to particular areas).

INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Intelligence Requirements on US Citizens
Held in Sino-Soviet Bloc. Countries
1. On 24 January, I circulated the memorandum of the
Joint Staff member which requested IAC action to satisfy the
intelligence requirement considered vital to the determination
of the status or the recovery of missing persons.
2. . Preliminary consultation with individual departments
has not made clear precisely what can or should be done over
and above present efforts. Short of having a specific recom-
mendation on which it could act, it is premature to place this
matter before the IAC.
3. I therefore suggest that representatives from the IAC
agencies meet to get a clarification of the problem from the Joint
Staff representative and to discuss what specific action could be
recommended to the IAC.
4. Representatives may wish to be accompanied by inter-
ested officers within their respective departments who are not
in the intelligence community (e. g., The Joint Staff may wish
to invite the Department of Defense Prisoner Officer; the Navy
may, ,wish to have the Marine Corps represented; and State may
wish to have the State Prisoner Officer).
5. The meeting will be held at 2:00 p. m. Wednesday,
15, February, in Room 115, Administration Building, Central
Intelligence Agency.

THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
Washington 25, D. C.
DDIM-6-56
11 January 1956
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Intelligence Advisory Committee
Subject : Intelligence Requirements on U. S. Citizens
Held in Sino-Soviet Bloc Countries
1. In a memorandum, dated 21 November 1955, addressed
to the Deputy Director for Intelligence, the Joint Staff, the
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Special Operations) requested
the Joint Intelligence Committee to "make a study of the intelligence
requirements for an effective prisoner identification and repatriation
program and make recommendations for its adoption."
2. The results of this study indicate certain intelligence
collection and production requirements which should be satisfied.
The study addressed itself primarily to the consideration of un-
accounted for prisoners of war and other missing people who are
residuals after all normal accounting processes, prisoner ex-
changes and the like have been completed. The military personnel
in this category remain in a missing status for a period of one year
after which, by virtue of Public Law 490, 77th Congress (Missing
Persons Act), they are declared "missing and presumed dead",
benefits are paid to their survivors and for all practical intents
and purposes their cases are closed. The intent of the law, un-
doubtedly, is to relieve hardship on the survivors and the process
should be continued. However, there should be no relaxation of
effort, by virtue of that law, in determining the final status of
these individuals, removing all "presumptions", recovering them
if still alive or otherwise making final disposition of each individual
case.
3. There is a requirement at this time for a coordinated
and continuous effort to collect all available information and to
produce intelligence on missing persons. Such an effort is

considered mandatory and will form the basis for recovery efforts
by the appropriate U. S. action agencies. This effort is in keeping
with the best American traditions which have always placed a high
value on the welfare of individuals. The machinery to accomplish
this task already exists. Some of this machinery is operating to
this end now in unilateral efforts, e. g. , individual military Service
efforts to trace their missing people resulting from the Korean
incident after the conclusion of "Operation Big Switch". However,
it is considered necessary to coordinate and intensify these efforts.
4. Enclosed herewith (Annex hereto) is a tabular display
of missing U. S. Nationals who are unaccounted for as of
1 December 1955. As you will note, the majority of these people
are a responsibility for accounting purposes of the Chinese Com-
munists. The 1 December 1955 total of 518 missing persons
represents a reduction of 426 from the 1953. total of 944. This
reduction was accomplished primarily by our own efforts with
little or no cooperation from the Sino-Soviet Bloc nations.
5. It is recommended that this matter be placed before
the Intelligence Advisory Committee for consideration, as a
matter of priority, and that action be taken to satisfy this
important intelligence requirement which is considered to be
vital to the determination of the status of these missing persons
and for their recovery if alive.
