MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence
Collection Requirements & Evaluation Staff
SUBJECT: Implementation of the Economic Challenge Plan
1. Action Requested. That you approve the selection of Mr.
EURA, as the chairman of the senior-level DI panel
responsible for implementation of the Economic Challenge
initiatives and as the CRES economic referent.
2. Background. After EXCOM's approval of the Implementation
Plan for The Economic Challenge: Issues, Capabilities, and New
Initiatives, the Executive Director deferred to each Directorate
as to how the appropriate initiatives would be put into effect.
The first step for the DI was the establishment of a senior-level
DI Economic Panel to improve the functioning of the economic
intelligence collection system. Each DI office was asked to
designate a member to the Panel (with the chairman to be selected
by you) and provide nominations for a position of senior-level
economic referent in CRES. The attachment lists the members of
the Economic Panel.
3. Staff Position. Discussions with production office
management led to the conclusion that the Panel chairman the
CRES referent should be the same officer and that is an
excellent choice, based on his background and experience.- me is
interested in the assignment, and EURA has approved in principle a
two-year rotation to CRES.
4. If you approve of as chairman, we will hold a
kick-off meeting of the DI panel in about mid-October--after Smith
returns from TDY--and we will arrange with EURA to have him
assigned to CRES as soon as possible.
