MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: Signals Intelligence Capability for Army National Guard
Units - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
1. The Deputy Secretary of Defense announced on April 26th
his approval of an Army proposal to assign Combat Electronic
Warfare Intelligence (CEWI) units to the Army National Guard. We
had been working with the Department of the Army and the National
Guard Bureau to resolve our differences on this issue. My primary
concern throughout these discussions was proper federal control of
signals intelligence.
2. In view of this decision, my staff will begin to examine
means by which to ensure Army National Guard CEWI units operate in
accord with the principles of the United States Signals
Intelligence System and under proper federal control. Our goal is
to ensure that individual National Guard units meet the same
standards and requirements as active duty and reserve component
SIGINT units. I will keep you informed of our progress toward
this goal.
