1. Attached is a draft revision of National Security Council
Directive No. 5, prepared pursuant to a recommendation of the
President's Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities.
Because this draft constitutes such an extensive revision of the text
of the present NSCID No. 5, the prior practice of submitting a draft
in which the old language is lined out and the new language underlined
has not been followed in this case.
2. Members of the IAC working group on revision of the
NSCID's will be notified by General Truscott's office when a meeting
will be held to discuss this proposed revision of NSCID No. 5 and
prepare a coordinated draft for submission to the IAC.
