Dear Brent:
In accordance with the President's directive of March 1969, the
Board will devote a large portion of its April meeting to its annual
assessment of the strategic threat. These assessments in the past
have, inter alia, served to highlight intelligence collection defi-
ciencies and have been the basis for Board recommendations pro-
posing the establishment of an interdepartmental mechanism to
conduct net strategic assessments.
The Board will meet on Thursday and Friday, April 4 and 5, and
plans discussions on Soviet offensive and defensive forces, U.S.
?offensive and defensive forces, and the current status of the SALT
negotiations.
Regards,
