MEMORANDUM FOR: Honorable Allen W. Dulles
SUBJECT: The Joint Study Group Report
I should like to express a reservation about Recommendation
No. 24. It seems to me to be too sweeping as written and that
there may be occasions when exceptions should be taken to this
very good principle.
Perhaps it could read as follows:
"The chief of mission or principal officer in each
overseas area should be given affirmative responsibility
for coordination of all overt and clandestine intelligence
requirements concerning that area, except in situations
with respect to which the Secretary of State and the
Director of Central Intelligence may agree do not warrant
such allocation of responsibility."
Gordon Gray
Special Assistant to the President
