MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: R. M. Huffstutler
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Strategic Plan for Information Services
1. Action Required: None - for your information.
2. Background: I am forming a group to develop a strategic plan for
meeting long7ranq,e CIA information services needs. One of my senior officers,
will lead a group of six or seven members. This group will in
turn work with a larger Agency-wide steering group to ensure that we explore
fully the visions of the challenges CIA faces. We will examine alternative
plans and develop cost estimates for inclusion in future budgets to deliver
the information handling, data processing, and communication systems needed to
cope with the changing intelligence collection and reporting environment by
the year 2000.
3. Process: This long-range planning process will take into account the
pockets of strategic planning already underway in CIA and the Intelligence
Community that impact on information services. A major part of our effort
will be to examine the world political, economic, and technology environment
that CIA expects. Extensive interviews with our experts on collection,
processing, and production of intelligence will be the basis for the plan.
The planning group working full-time on this effort will collect all require-
ments, table everyone's ideas, and focus on the trends which lead us in new
directions. Policymaker's expectations for real-time reporting and the
changing operating environment around the world will be examined and action
plans will be identified. Briefings and off-site conferences will be used to
get widespread involvement and try to avoid overlooking major influences. An
off-site review is scheduled for 18-19 May 1989. The overall plan is expected
to be completed within the next 15 months.
4. Summary: This strategic planning effort has been discussed briefly
with the Executive Committee and the plan will be coordinated widely to ensure
that the best strategic planning minds in the Intelligence Community are
involved. I will work with the group as needed to ensure that we develop a
first-rate plan. I will keep you informed of our progress.
