NOTE FOR: All NIOs
SUBJECT : NIC Contribution to DCI's Annual Report to Congress
1. The IC Staff is once again preparing the Annual Report for the DCI to
give the Congress. This is a budget/program document, separate from the
substantive worldview briefing the DCI gives certain committees of the
Congress.
2. Charlie Waterman has asked me to honcho the NIC input to the
Report. NIC is tasked with addressing "the major foreign policy issues of
1983" and discussing "how the National Intelligence Estimates and other
production supported the decisionmaking process."
3. Could you each please give me an informal piece setting out what you
consider the major 1983 issues to have been, and the principal ways by which
your particular precinct supported the decisionmaking process -- including
those means (IGs, special papers, etc.) other than and in addition to the
formal NIEs, SNIEs, and IIMs. (I am also asking Dick Kerr for a contribution
re intelligence production other than NIEs).
4. I would appreciate receiving your contributions by 9 November. I
will subsequently distribute to you a draft NIC text, and thereupon grind in
your comments on it before we send the piece off to the IC Staff. Thanks.
