AMENDMENTS TO STATE DEPARTMENT PLAN
It was apparent that the Secretaries of War and Navy
had a number of objections to the McCormack plan, and in
the absence of the Secretary of State Mr. McCormack made
some revisions which he submitted on 15 December.
The paper is of particular significance because it
brings out the reason for opposing the establishment of an
ix:..dependent agency which, it was felt, could not obtain
budgetary support. It makes clear why, when the Presidebtial
Directive was finally issued, financial support was to be
drawn from the departments even though the independent exis-
tence of the CIG was established. It also demonstrates why
the Central Intelligence Agency must be established by act
of Congress if it;;to achieve the financial independence which
experience had demonstrated that it needs.
