O fice Memorandum ? U TILTED STATES GOVERNA4
TO Kirk
DATE: 12 Jun 57
SUBJECT: NSC.ID's #1 and #5
1. Now that #1 has been revised to put the responsibility for implementa-
tion of NSCID's and DCID's into command channels; in the new wording the NSC,
in effect, tells the Sec. Def. and others that "Such directives, when
applicable, will be implemented within the departments and agencies of the
government", 'we do not have to worry so much about a speci-:.ic wording on the
subject of "coordination" in NSCID #5.

2. Unle_-s we put wording into #5 which indicates that all other NSCID's
concern overt matters, then the power of DCID 5/2 will be established by #1
and have the full weight of a NSCID itslf. In addition, and this is most
important, we will in the "agreed activities" field have the power of para. 1)4
"such
of NSCID r`1 which says that the DCI or his representatives can make surteys"
departmental
of the ca?mkxk intelligence activities of the other departments and agencies
as he may deem necessary in connection with his duty to advise the NSC and to
coordinate the intelligence effort of the United States". Those are priceless
words that are underlined and we should do nothing to upset their full applicatioi
to NSCID #5 and DCID 5/2. I an pointing this item out to I he is
rather keen on having the clause in that would make NSCID #1 non-applicable to
the agreed act
vities field - what a revolting development that would be.
