NSC proceedingsrCIA internal and external high-level correspondence, DCI-level
memos on meetings and interviews, position papers for the NSC, briefings for
Congress, proposals and status reports on major programs, and statements of
the principles that guided the evaluation of CIA's organization and

papers.
