MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, DCID 1/2 Committee
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
1. Thanks for your response to my request for concise information about
what the committee is doing, how well it is doing, and how it might do better.
I'm overwhelmed at the idea of reviewing 10,000 assigned priorities. How
does this get done and how long does it take?
2. One thing I note is that terrorism is not among the items accorded a
substantial increase in intelligence priority. Right at this moment and
probably for the foreseeable future, it is entitled to a very high priority.
How do you go about "broadening community awareness of the priorities process
and its potential impact on operation and resources management." I'd like to
see what your story is to achieve this.
3. What kind of a staff does the committee have to handle the job of
prioritization of intelligence topics.
William J. Casey-
