2. Under the auspices of the National Security Council, the Policy
Coordinating Committee for Intelligence (PCC-I) will hold its first meeting in
late June or early July to review and approve the FY 1990 NITs. Formal
promulgation of this document will follow immediately. Nevertheless,
appropriate Community production elements have been provided copies of the
final draft FY 1990 NITs to facilitate their production planning.
3. A draft of the FY 1989 NIT Gaps Report has been prepared and will be
forwarded to the Collection Committees and to Community production managers
for their review and comment in early June. After receiving responses from
these elements, the IPC Staff will prepare a final report for the IPC and
PCC-I documenting the shortfalls and remedial actions taken.

7. With the help of a part?time programmer from DIA, the Staff also has
made considerable progress in automating its Production Enhancement Initiative
(PEI) files and its NITs and NIT Gaps and NIT Production files. These files
will have appropriate linkages with each other and, after the files become
operational, they will be made available to IPC member organizations.
Production Enhancement Initiatives (PEIs)
8. I spent a few days attending a conference to assess
which was developed in response to NSDD 320. This project rece
considerable funding from the PEI budget for FY 1989. The conference was well
attended by senior government officials, and representatives from the private
and academic sectors. Most came away with the impression that this project
would greatly assist the US Government in its efforts to stem the flow of
critical technology through export controls; however, follow?up funding to
develop a fully operational capability is a serious problem.
9. Additionally, competition for funding new PEI proposals will be very
tight again in FY 1990. Early responses to the call for new initiatives for
the FY 1990 PEI cycle have been strong. The Staff has already received 24
proposals involving approximately for FY 1990, and these proposals
represent only a small portion of the production community.
Consumer Survey Follow?on Actions
10. In addition to the briefing on the survey results that we gave to
DIA's Directorate for JCS Support, we again convened the Consumer Survey
Action Group to continue examining issues and recommendations arising from the
1988 Consumer Survey. Major projects and actions include: developing an
orientation briefing for senior policymakers, determining the focus and
content of the next survey, and considering an oral survey of senior officials
in the 1988 project who made policy decisions without the benefit of an
Intelligence input. The orientation briefing group is preparing a briefin
concept paper for IPC approval. The group meets again in mid?June.
Weapons Intelligence Initiatives
11. Members of the Council have begun to respond to our request for
initiatives and suggestions for obtaining new data on weapons intelligence and
for managing the data already on hand. These responses, when complete, will
be forwarded to the IC Staff's Weapons Intelligence Working Group for
Inclusion in their report identifying potential initiatives for NFIP funding.
Those proposals that fit the requirements for PEIs may be given consideration
in the FY 1990 PEI cycle.

Support for Crisis Center Watch Standers
13. During the month, the IPC Staff WAS invited to attend a meeting in
the White House Situation Room to discuss the development of a crisis
management handbook to help watch standers throughout the Executive Department
handle contingencies. Materials produced by the Staff--A Consumer's Guide to
Intelligence, An Executive's Guide to Intelligence, the Compendium of
Interagency Coordinating Mechanisms--were cited as examples of the kinds of
information that should .be contained in the handbook. The NIO/Warning has
been charged with the responsibility of developing the crisis management
handbook; however, various Community elements, including the IPC Staff and the
DCI Collection Committees, will provide him with the appropriate data to be
incorporated into the document.
Open Source Intelligence Exploitation (OSIX) Proposals
14. We have met with representatives of the Information Handling
Committee, which has been encouraging the Intelligence Community to
investigate the feasibility and need for greater efforts in exploiting open
sources of intelligence information. As a result, we are preparing to survey
the IPC member organizations to solicit their views on the status of existing
open source data bases and on future needs for processing and sharing open
source data. If our members tell us that greater efforts are needed, we will
work with the Information Handling Committee to help make that happen.
25X1
Identification of Key Policymakers
15. We have asked members of the NITs Working Group to identify the key
policymakers in their organizations by name, title, address, and telephone
number. The IPC Staff will use this information to establish and maintain for
the Intelligence Community a centralized listing of key policymakers at and
above the Deputy Assistant Secretary level. Such a listing will help ensure
that these individuals are receiving the intelligence products and support
that are crucial to the performance of their duties.

Planning for July Off-site Conference
16. With the concurrence of our new chairman, Stan Moskowitz, we have
begun planning a two-day off-site conference?scheduled for 20-21 July--for
Council members and/or alternates and the IPC Staff. The purpose of this
conference will be to focus on the major issues facing the production
community, identify any new areas requiring our attention, and establish
future goals and Objectives that will further enhance our effectiveness in
fulfilling the broad Community mandate Of the IPC. Members have been asked
for their inputs for conference agenda items.
