Page VI - Complain of security restriction imposed by CIA.
Recommend no legal restrictions in future.
Page XXIII - 1st Hoover Report (1948) said excess of adm. personnel.
This report says it still exists (excess) but due to number
of buildings and compartmentation.... (Task force appar-
ently accepts fact that some improvement has been made.)
Page XXV - Comment on the Command Relationships paper which
evolved since 1st Report (1948). The committee feels
that due to seriousness of the problem continued study
should be made to solve problem, to reach the best
possible solution, prior to outbreak of war. (This
indicates further solution required.)
Page XXV 1st Report (1948): Military do not reveal enough to
(CIA?) on grounds of security. This report says
situation is not solved.
Page XXVIII Comment favorably on quality (CIA) improvement of
scientific and medical intelligence -- handicapped because
of inability of all intelligence community to operate in bloc.
Page XXIX - CIA not contaminated -- good security risk -- Dulles
commented on favorably but report states he has taken
upon himself too many operational tasks. Certain
admin. flaws have developed in CIA which must be
corrected.
Page XXIX - Task force deeply concerned over lack of adequate
intelligence data from behind curtain. Aggressive
leadership and boldness is essential in order to get
the info.

It? ? ? G-2 operates generally in a healthy atmosphere of coopera-
tion with the other Agencies in the intelligence community. The
only areas of disagreement which currently exist stem from the
proscriptions contained in certain directives of the National Secu-
rity Council. .
"There are certain attitudes taken by some Agencies which have a
tendency to interfere with this overall effort, however, and these
are evidenced in an over extension of the 'need-to-know' criteria.
If this criteria could be given a 'need-to-know-all' connotation, a
fuller degree of mutual understanding would result
Having a source which has certain capabilities should be a matter
of common knowledge within the community."
"The Army is definitely not satisfied with this agreement (Agreed
Activities) only accepting the terms as the best obtainable solution
at this time."

"The Army has a responsibility under Section 102 (d) (3) of the
National Security Act of 1947 as amended and also under the
provisions of NSCID 1, to engage in clandestine activities. The
NSCID 5 therefore is in effect a denial of the Army's capability
and statutory authority in this respect. The 'Agreed Activities'
paper is only a partial recognition of this responsibility and does
not fully permit the Army to meet the requirements of this respon-
sibility or the exigencies of the situation. ". . . The Army has
a very extensive capability for further exploiting the defector
program but is prevented from doing so by the implementation
of the provisions of NSCLD 13 which relate especially to the
inducement aspect of that program."

U. S. NAVY REPORT
NSC1D/1 requires CIA to furnish collected info of concern or
interest to another agency to service attache or other local
intell. rep. in the area. Reported to task force that in some
areas this procedure is not being fully implemented.
Effect of Naval Blockade (China). Navy & Army have purview
in the field. State and CIA are also furnishing info on this.
Estimates of Navy and Army should be considered paramount;
under terms of National Security Act of 1947 and NSCID/1, CIA
will not duplicate intell. activities of various departments but
will use department intell.

CIA responsible for preparing a base for E&E and TM. "So far
as JCS know, this is not being done in areas now under Soviet or
Satellite control." Theater commanders and certain other
members of Army and Navy planning staffs in Washington must
know current status of assets in order to plan intelligently. The
knowledge is not now available to pertinent military staffs in

Army much concerned because JSCAP says "GW will be used to
the maximum from D-Day onward."
"In spite of accomplishments of Inter-Agency Priorities Committee,
Army is concerned over the lack of info from the CIA as compared
to its own collection achievements in certain areas."
Army wants restraining directives lifted believing it could collect
more info in Europe. Confidence because Army type info is more
easily obtainable thn that which CIA is trying to collect.

E&E info and provision for assistance in coastal areas where
evaders or escapees may seek refuge. Latter activity cannot
be construed to come under "Agreed Activities" and is recog-
nized by working level of natal intelligence. Navy issued these
instructions because of lack of any info that such assets have
been or will be developed by CIA and felt it must go ahead on
Its own.

It is unnecessary. Commander 6th Fleet got instructions in
sealed envelope to be opened in time of war which would pro-
vide instructions for pilot briefings. CIA will not provide info
to Navy crews participating in "overflights" -- CIA says why
sacrifice all for one or two men. "This is the only firm indica-
tion available to the Navy at the Washington level of the possible
existence of any CIA assets in this field."
CONCLUSION
"There is a need for the establishment of a control registry of
clandestine agents in accordance with IAC Dir #54 in order to
prevent duplication of payment and false confirmation or infor-
mation. Action in this respect is being delayed due to Agency
reluctance to disclose sources." (p. 196)

"Either CIA has been unable to develop and maintain adequate
assets in the E&E guerrilla warfare areas or is furnishing
inadequate info to the services concerning its assets. Such a
condition can only result in duplication of effort, inadequate
planning and failure in operations." (pp. 183, 184, 189, 192-
194, 20L, 202.)
Possibility of withdrawal of military and political representation
for certain foreign countries indicate a need for CIA to develop
other means of cover for their operations abroad.

No one agency has primary responsibility for collection or

do so. However, because of the restrictions imposed on
the use of this information by the recipient, its use is
limited. In some areas a few military men were found
who were of the opinion that CIA possessed assets and
capabilities which, in fact, they did not have."
Page 309: Conclusions:
The strong emphasis on security which gives rise to a
high degree of compartmentation has an unfavorable impact
on the exchange of information so vital to the effective
operation of the intelligence function. The limitation
imposed by CIA on its field representatives has aroused
the greatest dissatisfaction.

Under authority ot Section 601 of the Revenue Act of 1941 (55 Stat.
726), the Joint Committee on Reduction of Nonessential Federal Expenditures
requires information relative to Second Hoover Commission recommendations
applicable to agencies and their administration, activities, programs and
projects under your jurisdiction, as follows:
1. List of all recommendations, with your estimate of annual expenditure
savings in each instance, assuming full acceptance and implementation.
2. List of all recommendations fully implemented to date,
3. List of all recommendations partially implemented to date, with your
estimate of annual expenditure savings in each instance based on that part
implemented.
4. List of all recommendations which have not been implemented to any
degree to date.
If there are government-wide recommendations incapable of
specific application to agencies, activities, programs and projects under
your jurisdiction, it will be appreciated if you will identify them with ex-
planation in each instance.
Your views and comments on any aspect of the subject of this in-
quiry will be welcomed. Response to this inquiry is requested not later
than June 15, 1957.
Very truly yours,

the Records Dis feature delineated betow, savings
from this program have been widespread but intangible i.e.. less
paper, better syetemi, more efficiency. etc. However, the Accords
Program has produced tangible and substantial savings
as follows:
..i I December 1956. the Agency has resnoved from active Head-
rs file space to an inactive removed area a cumulative total of
39.708 cu. ft. of records. -11 thee., 7,314 Cu. ft. have been
destroyed. Besides apace savings and clerical time consumption
at Hes.douarters, the greatest tangible saving here is the elimination
of need for purchasing safe cabinets to house these records at Head-
quarters. These total cubic feet would have required the purchase of
an eouivalent of 4,963 four drawer safe cabinets or $1,766,902.
This saving is e.selusive of that arising from records destroyed by
the offices in progressive initial attack an the problem. A recent
sample of a few offices only indicate the initial destruction of
approximately 1.200 cu. ft. of records.

2. Re personnel and Civil Service.
The Agency has already in effect particular programs to meet the
same objectives as the Commission. These are in the fields of
training, executive selection and development, position classifica-
tion, and performance evaluation. For the most part, we found
little explicit reference to groups of positions excepted by statute
as are all positions in the Agency.
3. Re legal services and procedures.
Recommendation No. I:
Review by Congress of Justification for Agency Legal Staffs.
Comm exit:
Not applicable to CIA. Because of knowledge of operations and
functions required, CIA could not use legal services of the Department
of Justice. This Agency must have its own legal staff.
Recommendation No. 2:
The Department of Justice be Recognized as the Chief Law Office
of the Government.
Comment:
( IA complies with this recommendation.
Recommendation No. 3:
Congress Create a Procedure Permitting any Department, Agency
or Regulatory Body to Refer Differences of Legal Interpretation to the
Attorney General.
Co nt:
CIA agrees with the intent although no Congressional action is be-
lieved necessary.

Recommendation No. 13:
Establishment of an Attorney Classification Act.
Comment:
Attorney's salaries should be consistent with those of other equiva-
lent positions in the Agency. The nature of the work and recognition
accorded are more important than salaries in retaining qualified attorneys.
Recommendation No. 14:
Tenure of Attorneys Under a Legal Career Service.
Comment:
Agreed in regard to lower - level attorneys. The Agency head should
have authority to retain or dismiss his top legal advisor.

Recommendation No. 1:
Representatives of the Bureau of the Budget be Placed Within CIA.
Comment:
The Bureau of the Budget now has working closely with CIA some of
its own specially cleared personnel who have access to pertinent CIA
materials in the U.S. and overseas. This arrangement appears to be
satisfactory to the Bureau of the Budget which has not asked to have its
personnel actually employed within CIA.
Recommendation No. 2:

Unclassified reporting of this nature would present very serious
security problems. CIA now reports directly to the President on a

Comptroller and for Building a. Competent Accounting Organization.

While this presents certain security difficulties, they do not appear
to be insoluble. However we believe the Bureau of the Budget is entirely
satisfied with the CIA Comptroller and Accounting Organisation by virtue
of the Bureau-CIA close working relationship and the Bureau's resultant
knowledge.

EATION Ofr CMMITTES TO CONCERN THEMSELVES
vani -FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
The only specific r m
adation made by the Ho
its report on intelligence activities was as follows:
geo
a) That the President appoint a committee of experienced private
cit *ens, who shall have the responsibility to examine and report to him
periodically on the work of Government foreign intelligence activities.
This committee should also give such information to the public as the
President may direct. The committee should function on a part-time and
per diem bests.
(b) That the Congress consider creating a Joint Congressional Co
mittee on Foreign Intelligence, similar to the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy. In such case, the two committees, one presidential and the other
congressional, could collaborate on matters of special importance to the
national security.
In making this recommendation, the Commission departed from
the recommendation of its Task Force on intelligence activities, chaired
by General Mark Clark. The Clark Task Force had recommended the
creation of a permanent watchdog commission, to consist of members
of both house* of the Congress together with a group of eminent citizens
to be appointed by the President. The proposed commission would make
periodic surveys of all aspects of government foreign intelligence opera-
tions and report, under adequate security safeguards, its findings and
recommendations to the Congress and to the President.
Un 13 January 19S6, the President appointed a permanent Board of
ensuitants on Foreign InteliLgence Activities, consisting of eight
distinguished citizens under the chairmanship of Dr. James R. Killian, Jr.,
es 4 nt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Board of
tants has been requested by the President to make continuing studies

pects of foreign intelligence activities of the Gave
sport to him at regular intervals. The Board has been actively
ts task and has made a number of specific reports and
recommendations to the President.
A number of resolutions have been introduced in the Senate and
in the Hou.se which provided for the creation of a Joint Congressional
Committee on P'oreign Intelligence activities. One of these, Senate
Concurrent Resolution 2, came before the Senate during the 2nd Session
of the fieth Congress and was defeated. Under existing arrangements.
the Central Intelligence Agency is responsible to the Senate and House
A rrrked Services Committee on substantive legislative matters, and to
the Senate and House Appropriations Committees on money matters.
Subcommittees of each of these Committees have been created to deal
with CIA Triatters,

OMMENDATION: That effectiveness of CIA security program be re-evaluated
o establish a system assuring security recheck* on a minimum five-year basis.
commendation NO. 5 of Public Report; pages 62 72, and 7k of the Top Secret
eport.)
CIA
An of 26 Marcia 1955, all security files are checked each five
years to insure that a review has been made within that period. However, it
should be noted that this Agency's security program, in addition to the five-
ear check, includes a continuing revisit of the security of its employees.
Re-review of employee files by the Security Office is sutomatic with any
personnel action on Agency Staff employees, such as transfer, promotion, or
appointment to special activities. Additionally, technical interrogmtions
are given to overseas personnel upon departure to or return from permanent
posts.
When a file review, a technical interrogation, or substantive
allegation against an individual show any indication of the need for further
action, field re-investigation is immediately initiated. We believe that the
above procedures constitute adequate protection. An arbitrary policy requir-
ing full re-investigation, as distinct from a name check, of every employee
on a five-year basis would require double or triple our security establishment

CIA ccimmaT This Agency has adhered. carefully to the provisions of Executive
Order No. 10450 which provides for the suspension, vith or without pay, of
Federal employees when a reasonable doubt exists as to their security status.
Agency handling of employees under investigation because of
substantive allegations concerning their loyalty or security qualifications
for employment in sensitive positions is dictated by the provisions of Execu-
tive Order 10450. Such employees are placed on a leave status, with pay if
the allegations are eventually refuted, without pay if the allegations are
ustained and the employee is terminated. Normal reporting procedures, as
establithed in Executive Order 10450, are followed in these cases, and infor
mation is furnished to the Civil Service Commission or the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Department of Justice, as appropriate. Therefore, the status
f such cases is available to the President through the executive agencies

RECOMMENDATION; That CIA devote special attention to the production of atomic

CIA COMMENT: CIA and the intelligence community have long ago agreed that
the highest priority be accorded the following objectives (underscoring sup-
plied):
"Soviet development, production, disposition, and employment
of weapons and other components of weapons systems requisite for
nuclear attack on the United States and/or key U. S. overseas
installations or for defense of the Soviet Bloc against air attack.
Particular reference is made to the deve10Pment, production, W
emR19Yment of: (1) nuClikar rDenonsj (2) delivery systems) includ-
IL% aircraft, guided missiles, and related base facilities; and
(3) the components of the Soviet air defense systems.
"Soviet capabilities, plans and intentions for the clande?tine
delivery of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons."
Continuous attention at the highest level is directed to seeing that this
program is energetically implemented.

a primary target and take concerted action to break this vital intelligence
block. (Pages 33-35, 4, 68, 247, 246, and 254 of the Top Secret Report.
CIA COMMENT: CIA and the entire intelligence community has invariably
accorded the Soviet Union the highest priority as a target of intelligence.
This is reflected in the Priority List of Critical National Intelligence
Objectives issued 28 Septeeber 1950, revised 12 June 1952, 4 August 1953,
ani 14 December 1954. Appropriately, Communist China has been accorded
comparable atatus with respect to its capability to initiate hostile actions
against the Free World. The means of obtaining and the production of intel-
ligence on the Soviet/Sino Bloc is a problem always under continuous scrutiny,
and is now limited mainly by the factor of human ingenuity.

ECO?*DATION
? (by the Hoover Commission)
a. That the President appoint a committee of experienced private
citizens, vho shall have the responsibility to examine and report to him
periodically on the work of Government foreign intelligence activities.
This committee should also give such information to the public as the
President may direct. The committee should function on a part time and
per diembasis.
b. That the Congress consider creating a Joint Coressionl
Committee on Foreign Intelligence, similar to the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy. In such case, the two committees, one Presidential and
the other Congressional, could collaborate on matters of special impor-
tance to the national security. (Sole specific recommendation of the
Hoover Commission, pages 1-2 of the Public Report.
OMNENDATION: (by the Clark Task Force) That a small, pernanent,
partisan commission, composed of members of both Rouses of the Congress
and other public-spirited citizens commanding the utmost national respect
and confidence) be established by act of Congress to make periodic surveys
of the organization, functions, policies, and results of the Gemernment
agencies handling foreign intelligence- operations; and to revert, under
adequate security safeguards, its finding* and recommendation's to the
Congress, and to the President, annually and at such other times as may be
necessary or advisable. The proposed "watch-dog" commission should be
empowered by law to demand and receive any information it needs for its
own use. It Should be patterned after the Commission on Organization of
the Executive Brendle of the Government (Hoover Commission). Appointments
by the President of persons from private life to the proposed Commission
should be made from a seleet list or distinguished individuals of un-
vestioned loyalty, integrity, and ability, with records of unselfish
service to the Nation. (Recommendation no. 2 of Public Report pages
312-317 of the Top Secret Report.)

In the foregoing vs have dealt with specific recaer4atize in the
Hoover Commission 8Di Clark Task Farce reports. In the latter report there
are, in addition, certain very general statements about the Agency-
favorable, others critical. Certain of the criticisms deserve brief attention.
Many of the criticisms vs feel are due to the feet that most of the members of
the Tadk Force spent little time in actual survey of the Agency operations and
were therefore, forced to rely largely upon reports furnished them by their
staff who for the most part had had little or no past experience in the
intelligence field.
The Teak Force stressed the need for greater concentration on the
col].ection of intelligence from our primary target, Russia, her Satellites
and Communist China; expressed concern over the lack of adeepate intelligence
data from behind the Iron Curtain; and advocated greater aggressiveness in
this field including an internal reorganisation of the CIA.
These comments appeared in the public report of the Task Force and
have been. repeated and headlined in the press from coast to coast.
It is my understanding that it was not the desire of the White Nouse
that the Teak Force or its staff should concern itself with our sensitive
operations affecting the Communist Bloc. They did not press us for this
information and it ves not made available to them. Nowever, any suggestion
that intelligence in this field has not been and is not our prime objective
is contrary to fact.
During the past few years we have initiated a series of aggressive
and highly sensitive operations to obtain intelligence on the Communist Bloc
and these operations are now bringing results. We have felt, however, that it

was far better to accept criticise -than to risk disclosure of highly sensitive

uperaticfl8. Of course 'se, ourselves, are not satisfied with the intelligence
gained about the Communist Bloc and an increase in the volume and accuracy of
such intelligence is our primary concern.
