Production
1. The ACAS-2 camber of the Ad Roo Coacaeittes is in gsasrsl
&*cord with the majority report of the, Committee as presented, but
dissents from that report with respect to paragraph 2 o (4) of that
proposed directive,
2. Dominant Interest is Inseparable from mission, and
or eaass inteiligenoe agency is determined by and must
s be responsiva to the requirement* of the department or
which it serves. ?here is no reason for attempting to
xSate dominant interests, and consequently no reason for
including paragraph 2 a (4) in the directive.
S. It is further considered that dominant interests should
not and seanot be defined by the aassi ament of o lleatian reopen.
sibilitiea. Dominant interests flow from the mission of to
particular department or agency, which is not necessarily true

8, However, if this deletion should not be favorably consideere9d
by the Intelligence Advisory Soard, the following paragraph is submitted
as a substitute for paragraph 2 a (4) and in a desire to reach
an accord. Thi a ' proposed substitute accomplishes the purpose
desired, and is not open to the objections noted above,
