1. I was "authorised and directed' by paragraph 3 of VIA Directive
No. 5 "to act for this Authority in coordinating all Federal foreign
intelligence agencies relating to the national security to insure
that the overall policies and objectives established by this Authority
are properly implemented and executed. w
29 My interpretation of the several NIA Directives and of the
discussions which have taken place at NIL meetings has been that the
Authority desires a complete and thorough coordination of the intelli-
gence activities of the four intelligence agencies of the Government
(State, G-2, A-2, and ONI). I believe that the objectives are to
insure complete coverage in the intelligence field to eliminate dupli-
cation (by which I do not mean an elimination of a beneficial overlap),
and to bring about integration of effort which will result in the
production of "strategic and national policy intelligence" of the
highest possible caliber.
3. In our attempt to implement these 'policies and objectives,"
the Central Intelligence Qroup has held innumerable meetings with
representatives of the four intelligence agencies, both at the policy
and working level.
4. I regret that I now find it necessary to report to you that
we are not meeting with that cooperative spirit without which, in my
opinion, we cannot accomplish the President's desire "that all federal
foreign intelligence activities be planned, developed, and coordinated
so as to assure the most effective accomplishment of the intelligence
mission related to the national security." In the belief that this may
be the result of a lack of clearljQlelined policy, I as preparing for
subaission to you through the lAB proposed specific policies and objectives
which you must formally and specifically establish before further con-
structive progress can be made.

5. It appears that certain of the agencies are interpreting too
broadly, perhaps with selfish motives and most certainly not with
constructive ideas of coordination or economy, the President's
statement that the existing intelligence agencies of your departments
will continue to collect, evaluate, correlate, and disseminate depart-
mental intelligence."
6. I will propose that each of the four intelligence agencies have
delineated for then by the National Intelligence Authority their
particular "departmental intelligence* and primary responsibilities,
and that they be directed to discontinue those activities which are
thus allocated to another agency and can best be performed, in the
national interest, by that other agency on its behalf. This would
not preclude the analysis by any agency of another Wency' s intelligence
reports in the preparation of its owm estimates. Nor mould this
prevent the oollection by any agency of material not in its field
since I am of the belief that all foreign representatives, whether
they be from State, War or Navy, should not only feel free, but even
be urged, to keep their eyes and ears open at all times for all
information affecting the national security. However, they should
have specific directives telling then of those fields on which they
will concentrate and the manner in which they will integrate their
activities with other field representatives.
7, ?hose activities which the four agencies are now carrying
on not in their field of primary responsibility should be transferred
to the agency having primary reipbnsibility so that the work there
may be strengthened and made so complete as to meet not only the
operational requirements of the

agency of primary interest but the infO 5ation requireaants of all
other agencies having a secondary interest. An integrated program
for inter gency diss tnation of this aaterial mast be dervelop"
concurrently.
8. In additions there is an important area in the intelligence
field rthich oanmt be oonsidsrad as being prin"r to any one intelligenOs
importance to all agencies. That, I believ #

the National Intelligence Authority desires be centralised in CIO or
otherwise allocated in the interests of eoomny and efficiency. Without
apeoitic h"IA directives stating *at in be expected of CIO# it catmiot
oonplete its organisation to accept centralised responsibilities. And
it does not desire to accept any responsibility until it vac render
the service required. A specific proposal for centralization eras first
made by Oh in mat is known as GIG No. 13, but aban an atteapt gas
made by representatives at an interagency nesting to arrive at a
definition of matters of coon concern cad of matters of primary
interest to each agency VAre ms so oosgilste a disagre t that I
an having to report to the nett IA) creating that no agGrea mnt oould
be reached.
9 . In sq opinion, this agency attitude is =wise at this tins
ahem budgetary restrictions are r>oossitating a re Itr nahment. With
the inevitable result that agencies leaving
can only give the cost shallow treataint to natters which could bettor
be handled for tuner by the agency having pri*""y interest, or by the
CIa in natters of coaean concern,

10, I will request of the Dill through the IAB a spy aifie
directives (1) setting forth in some detail the areas of priaarT
responsibility of each of the four intelligence agencies of the
paver snt and their responsibilities to each othear; (2) setting
forth in equal detail those intelligence activities ch can and
will be contra). ised in the interests of soonosy and efficiencyj
(3) setting forth a detailed plan for coordination of dissemination
to insure that the results of the re-allocated activities will still
be available to all agencies for anal cis and integration into their
"departmental intelligence' 1 and (4) setting forth a plan for appli-
cation abroad to integrate the activit-ies of collection perronml to
insure the best possible collection and reporting progra at
