NOTE FOR: Chairman, Critical Intelligence Problems Committee
Vice Chairman, Critical Intelligence Problems Committee
1. The CIPC staff has prepared point papers, which are attached for your
information and review, on the topics identified by the CIPC members* and
staff as critical intelligence problems.
2. While the topics identified represent real intelligence concerns, one
must ask whether they are sufficiently critical as to require the attention of
the CIPC, the Community, and the DCI. In our view, the strongest candidates
for CIPC attention are
3. The next step in setting the CIPC's agenda is critical to the
Committee's continued credibility as an effective and valued DCI body. We
must avoid giving the impression that we are developing a self-initiated
agenda involving ourselves in areas in which we have no business. To
forestall this perception, it seems appropriate to discuss the proposed topics
with the DCI and obtain his views before engaging the CIPC members in further
discussion of the agenda.
4. Therefore, it is recommended that you meet with the DCI prior to the
CIPC meeting which would address these candidate topics to:
? Inform him of the Committee members' nominations. (Attached is
a list which you might wish to give him.)
? Solicit his views--are the subjects critical? Does he have any
special priorities among them?
