MINUTES
INTELLIGENCE DEFINITIONS WORKING GROUP
20 December 1977
PROCEDURAL ITEMS:
1. The previous minutes were corrected to
substitute Consolidated for Combined in CCP in both
the glossary and the list of acronyms and abbreviations.
2. The Group was asked to consider whether CCP,
CIAP, and GDIP needed separate definitions apart from
mere reference to the NFIP.
3. The CIA member noted that General Camm, in
a recent briefing on the NITC, had announced his in-
tention to define collection-related terms. It was
suggested that he be informed of the activity of the
Intelligence Definitions Working Group. A copy of
these Minutes will be forwarded to him.
1. In the absence of
opened the meeting by calling tor consideration o
terms from,the "Airborne Mix Report." Adopted defini-
tions are shown in the updated attached list. NSA
asked for additional time to coordinate the terms
Electronic Warfare Support Measures and SIGINT
Operational Tasking Authority. T e terms Line of
Sight, Mobile Processing Center, and Moving Target
Indicator were deleted as candidates base on their
general inapplicability to an intelligence glossary.
2. The Group adopted the previously deferred
definition of Medical Intelligence, as shown in the
updated list, noting that GMI an CBR would be added
to the acronym list.

 Approved For Release 2004/11/04: CIA-RDP91 M00696R000300020005-7
3. The Group considered the list of definitions
proposed by the Security Committee (SECOM) and adopted
those shown on the updated list. The term Security
was passed to NSA for development as a generic term
to which several specific types of security will relate.
All others were adopted stet or as modified by the
Group. The SECOM representative then raised three
additional matters relating to definitions already
adopted by the Group:
a. Decontrol: it was pointed out that the
definition for this term actually described
Decompartmentation, the preferred term in any
event. The Group elected to drop Decontrol
because it is an inoperative and con u~s term,
and to adopt the SECOM definition of Decompart-
mentation.
b. National Securit : noting that the Group
had previously adopted a definition for this term,
the SECOM representative stated that a simpler and
more cogent definition had been developed and
approved by the SCC and NSC in connection with the
evolution of the new Executive Order on classifica-
tion systems (the outcome of PRM-29). That
definition states that national security is "a
collective term encompassing both the national defense
and the foreign policy of the Unite States."
Recognizing that (1) its definitions were not con-
strained by those developed for other purposes
elsewhere, that (2) prudence might suggest compatibility
among definitions of such a fundamental term, and
that (3) a number of its members were not available
to participate in the deliberations at this meeting,
the Group elected to table further consideration of
this item until its next meeting.
c. Sensitive Sources and Methods: The SECOM
representative registers his dissatisfaction with
the definition for this term previously adopted.
After considerable discussion, SECOM was asked to
submit new candidate definitions for Intelligence
Sources, Intelligence Methods, and Sensitive Sources
and Methods.
4. For the benefit of those unable to attend, attached
are State's candidate definition of Political Intelligence,
and an information copy of the "Hudd e tton e initions."
