following:
Cruise Missile Report (both versions)
Narcotics Report
China Working Group Progress
Pending BW/CW Study
Pending International Terrorism Study

intelligence needs" in response to a DCI requirement has also been

Herspring, Deputy Director of Office of Eastern Europe and Yugoslavian
Affairs (State); and Paula Dobryanski, NSC staff advisor for Eastern

* impact of non-military factors on military capabilities, and
* reliability of Warsaw Pact forces.
- None of the area specialists with whom she has talked support a study
focused solely on East Germany. It is considered too narrow a focus,
and would ignore too many inter-Pact factors. The consensus is that a
study based on the Northern Tier countries (EG, P0, CZ) would be most
useful from a policy as well as an intelligence perspective. (Eastern
Europe or the Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact is believed to be too disparate a
grouping for our purposes.)

CBW Intelligence Capabilities: 25X1
? Initial draft Terms of Reference to support a staff proposal to CIPC
principals that a Working Group be formed to address this subject were
completed and distributed internally within CIPC staff, and informally to
selected substantive experts for comment and critique. The TOR, revised
as deemed appropriate once this critique is complete, and the earlier
discussion paper will then be distributed to CIPC principals and written
responses elicited on the utility of the subject for CIPC Working Group
attention.
Cruise Missile Report: 25X1
? The Cruise Missile Working Group met on 1 December. The ES/CIPC provided
them a status report on the study and advised that it would be tabled at
NFIC on 14 December. They were also provided a copy of the sanitized
version of the report and tasked to review it to ensure that the
sanitization process had not missed anything. Their comments/concurrence
on the sanitized report is due by COB 9 December 1983.
Narcotics Projects and Activities: 25X1
? The Panel on the Use of Classified Intelligence Information met to
consider a working paper on 2 December setting forth concerns and
recommendations which have been discussed during prior meetings. The
members were notified that the paper was prepared to prompt them to
finalize their positions on the issues. The paper is being revised to
reflect the changes discussed and will be further considered at the next
meeting within the next two weeks. The members understand that the
Panel's report is in its final stages and they are prepared to concur on
the issues or footnote disagreements.
International Terrorism: 25X1
? During the past week, visited with NSA and FBI terrorism 25X1
representatives. Both meetings were highly productive. His initial
impressions of current Community posture are that at the working level,
data is being shared, relations are harmonious, and several different
efforts are underway to make coordination more efficient. However,
initial indications also point toward a certain "unwieldiness" in the
management structure set up in April 82 by NSDD 30.
- Initial meetings between VC/CIPC, C/SIGINT, and C/HUMINT have been held
to discuss actions which could be taken in response to the DCI's
tasking of the CIPC, among others, to look at this intelligence
problem.
