is responsible for recommending the scope and terms of reference of national
elligence estimates; participation in production and final substantive
review of such estimates prior to transmittal to the IAC for coordinations
and advising the Assistant Director for Reports and Estimates on the adoption
of proposed intelligence production programs to ensure that adequate priorities
are given at all times to the production of high level estimates
b. Each regional division of the O-R-E was been realigned to provide
(1) an Estimates Staff, and (2) three or more regional] analytical, and
research branches. They afford separate facilities for high level estimates,
and other reports and research studies required for production of estimates
but ihich are not available from the departmental i nte3.li genre agencies.
This realignment permits the retention of centralized substantive and pro
duction controls under each division chief and provides separate allocation
of manpower for each. category of production.
The Estimates Staff of each regional division produces national
intelligence estimates within its area in accordance with DCI 34
procedures and is of sufficient size to ensure adequate production in
this category.
Aral and research branches retain th
geographic responsibilities and are continuing systematically to
erne, identify, and analyze the significance of anergent trends
heir. areas of responsibility in order to provide the regional
a Staff with processed intelligence data. These data are for
use in the production of national intelligence estimates, as well as
reports and estimates in those fields of common concern which are
appropriate to regional, an distinguished frQl purely functional,
treatment.
