SUBJECT Intelligence Organizational Inventory
1. An inventory of intelligence organizations appears to be the
next logical step in the information system development game plan. The
purpose of this paper is, therefore, to present a concept for such an inven-
tory and our assumptions concerning the data elements necessary for it.
2. This concept is based on the assumption that there is a present
and continuing need for an intelligence organizational inventory to identify
the players on the intelligence field, their relationships to each other,
and their relationships to the various intelligence operations, programs,
projects and activities in which they participate. In concept, the
inventory should include the kinds of data now collected for CCPC Overseas
Facility Inventory and for the CIRIS reporting Entity Identification,
replacing both. It should be developed along organizational lines, and in
a way that will clearly show the command, functional and operational rela-
tionships that are not now visible. We believe that an understanding of
these relationships is basic to the cross-program/cross-function analysis
that is necessary for decisions concerning the allocation of limited
intelligence resources. An inventory of intelligence organizations also
appears fundamental to the development of other data systems, particularly
to the construction of a catalogue of unit and system capabilities. We also
believe that the data from an intelligence organizational inventory, displayed
in book format, would fill a long-standing requirement for a community
"fact book" on intelligence assets.

3. Some assumptions for data elements which might be included in the
inventory are at enclosure 1. They were developed in coordination with
representing CCPC interests. An illustration of the specific
data that might be provided, using partially complete data on the 66th MI
Group as an example, is at enclosure 2.
11. Your comments would be appreciated, both on the need for the
inventory described and on the assumed data elements for it.
