Mr. McFarlane noted that the proposed study of Comprehensive
U.S. Energy Security Policy was not being undertaken with
the intention to change U.S. policy. Rather, it was intended
to reinforce that policy and resolve any differences or
fill any gaps that may exist between existing policy and
overall national security interests. The objective is to
ensure that we think through our policy carefully so as to
enable us to continue-to depend upon market forces for our
basic energy security. The study was derived from the
President's wish to define comprehensive policies which
offer overall guidance to the President and to the Administration
in the pursuit of our various foreign policy activities.

There was also no intention to duplicate or to overlook the
interagency groups that already exist in the energy field that
have been working on various parts of our energy policy over
the past 15 months. Instead we would build on existing
work and existing groups and use this exercise to integrate,
coordinate and reinforce these efforts more fully.
The study outline and work program/schedule for the study
were distributed. The agencies were asked to comment by
Wednesday, May 5. The agencies were also asked to supply
names of individuals that would chair the working groups
indicated on the work program/schedule. The Overview Group
will meet again on may 7, at 11:00 a.m., in the Situation
Room. It will be chaired by CIA and will discuss the outlines
for Part I an ar , , of the study which are being
developed by the CIA Working Group.
It was emphasized that the entire study was being handled
under the classification of Top Secret and that any documents
related to the overall study should be handled as such. Some
parts of the study could be handled as Secret materials until
such time as they were folded into the larger study.
