I. WHAT THE SURVEY TEAM CONCLUDES AND RECOMMENDS
(The conclusions and recommendations in the four parts which
follow are based directly on the. Terms.of Reference, Tab E,
which are quoted in their entirety herein. )
Part 1
Intelligence Needs
IDENTIFICATION OF INTELLIGENCE NEEDS
1. Problem: To identify the types of intelligence and intelligence
information required to meet the U. S. Information Agency's
essential needs.
2. Discussion: Consideration' of this problem has included' the question:
"What are the U. S. Information Agency's essential intelligence needs
to support its. policy, programs, field and media operations, evalu-
ation and training?" Each of these six major functional areas of
USIA will need, in varying degrees, intelligence of the types listed
below. In the case of USIA's evaluation of its program, it has
been found by the Survey to be especially necessary to distinguish
between the function of making evaluation judgments and the
function of providing intelligence essential to such judgments.
3. Conclusions:.
a. The types of intelligence and intelligence information required
to:rneet USIA's essential needs have been identified as set
forth in paragraph c below.
(These types deal solely with foreign intelligence or intell-
Bence information and do not deal with USIA's needs for
"Americana, " i, e., domestic information on the U. S.)
b. The. required intelligence is not now adequate in character,
and particularly in quantity, to meet the needs.
c. USIA has essential needs for.the following types of intelligence
and, intelligence information:
1) Selected segments of societies: selected classes,
groups, organizations (public ' and private), and - their
leadership, present and potential.
a) Size, composition, ideologies and attitudes, predis-
positions, gild reactions tats (1) the ;i $iited States, the
USSR-and-other countries. of:greatest significance and

their basic policies, (2) critical foreign and internal problems.
b) The patterns of influence among groups, organizations,
and leaders (including the government); specifically, who
is influential, on whom, how, and how much.
2) Media Research and-Analysis
a) Communications habits and types of media in the country
(press, publications, radio, motion pictures, -TV).
b) Organizational aspects of each medium, including location,
key personnel, finance, distribution and exhibition outlets, and
a description of the facilities of the media.
c) The political orientation of the media.
d) The content of the communications output by the media.
e) Location, size and type of audience receiving the output
of the media.
f) The reactions of the audience to the media, and why.
Foreign Propaganda, both friendly and unfriendly, including
exchange of persons or cultural exchange.
a) Facilities and personnel.
b) Program content and plans.
c) Estimates of probable courses of foreign propaganda.
d) Analyses of foreign propaganda vulnerabilities.
4) Impact of factors affecting public opinion and attitudes and the
net impact of such fac-tors on the people of a country. Such
factors would include historical attitudes of a people, and the
influence of current domestic and foreign official and unofficial
activities.
5) Descriptive Detail, that is, unclassified or declassified intelli-
gence information to supplement the content of USIA media with
items of local interest in order to make the output appear more
interesting and more authoritative, particularly in denied areas.

Intelligence Needs
Conclusions (continued)
6) International Communism:
a) International organizations, personalities, programs,
fiscal support, methods and success or failure of operations.
b) Local applications, including counterespionage infor-
mation, with emphasis on, communications facilities.
d. It is recognized that intelligence and intelligence information perti-
nent to the needs described above can usefully be provided USIA.
in the following three basic forms of intelligence, which are
normally used for production for other purposes:
1) Intelligence Estimates, including National Intelligence
Estimates (intelligence covering the broad aspects of
national policy and national security) and estimates of
probable developments, capabilities and intentions re-
garding specific countries or areas.
2) Basic Intelligence, including National Intelligence Surveys,
that is, factual intelligence which results from the colla-
tion of encyclopedic information of a more or less
permanent or static nature and general interest which, as
'a result of evaluation and interpretation, is determined
to be the best available.
3) Current Intelligence, that is, spot information or intelli-
gence of all types and forms of immediate interest and
value to operating or policy staffs, which is used by
them usually without the delays incident to complete
evaluation or interpretation.
4) Intelligence Reports' on Specialized Subje'cis
e. USIA needs certain intelligence publications currently produced
by the IAC agencies. A list of such publications, with recom-
mended distribution, is attached at. Tab A.
f. No elements .of USIA, especially Field and Media operations,
should be sent masses of intelligence. Rather,- annotated bibliog-
raphies of available finished intelligence (e. g., Annex C to Tab I.
Annex B to Tab J) should be made available to the media and the
field for their review and selection of those items which they wish
to have made available for their review and possible retention.

Intelligence Needs
4. Recommendations
a. That the Director of USIA approve the statement of
"Types of Intelligence and Intelligence Information Required
to Meet USIA's Essential Needs" (Conclusion :3c, pp. 1-3) as the
basis for requesting intelligence and intelligence information
for USIA.
b. That the IAC agencies approve Conclusion.3c as the basis
for. providing intelligence and intelligence information needed
by USIA. (Action: DCI, with appropriate IAC members.)
c. That the IAC approve the recommended distribution of
National Intelligence (Tab A). (Action: DCI and the IAC.)
d. That CIA and State approve the recommended distribution
of certain of their intelligence publications (Tab A). (Action:
DCI, State/Special Assistant, Intelligence.)
e. That USIA arrange directly with the military intelligence
agencies for receipt of certain of their intelligence publications.

Related Needs of
Other Agencies
RELATED NEEDS OF OTHER AGENCIES
1. Problem: To determine.the extent to which the types of -intelligence
and intelligence information required to meet the essential needs of
USIA are related to the essential needs of other US programs.
Discussion: Consideration of this problem has included the original
specific question: "Is the intelligence and intelligence information
required to support a covert psychological warfare program and the
US Information Agency program so similar that it could be provided
most efficiently by a single organization? If s-o, where should that
organization be ?" It has.become clear in the course of the Survey
that this question is too limited and should be inclusive, as is the
statement of the problem above, of other related US programs (The
relationship of foreign propaganda analysis to other intelligence sup-
port is being studied separately from this survey.),
3. Conclusions:
a. The types of intelligence and intelligence information identified
as required to: me-et the essential needs of.USIA are substantially..
those required to meet the needs of (except for detailed
"operational intelligence" and "CE information,." which should-be
provided by DDP), the Public Affairs Staff of the State Department,.-
and to a lesser extent (because of requirements bearing upon enemy
military personnel, which should be met by the military intelligence
agencies) the "psywar" programs of the Armed Services.
? ' b. Therefore,' to" the extent that these types of intelligence and intel-
ligence information meet-the needs of agencies with related, missions,
these agencies."should be served 1n the main by a single organization
(See Part 3). .,To, assure the provision of intelligence and to supple-
ment the service provided,by the central organization, USIA should
have its own intelligence unit. That unit is recommended below, see
Part 3 and Tab B.
4. Recomisiendations:
That the appropriate IAC members approve conclusions 3a and b above
as.a basis for,providing intelligence. support to meet the related needs
of other agencies (Action DCI with appropriate IAC members.)

Organizational
Arrangements
ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
1. Problem: To recommend the organizational arrangements, and
sources and magnitude of funds, required to provide
the US Information Agency withsach. essential intelli-
genre and intelligence information as can be obtained
and which can be made available.
.2. Discussion:' Consideration of this problem has included the following
questions: .
a. Are the present mechanisrsand, the interdepart-
mental arrangements adequately respon.sive.to the U. S.
Information Agency's essential needs?
b. What present facilities and resources in the Gov-
ernment not now utilized by or made available to the U. S.
Information Agency could be .more effectively utilized
by the U. S. Information Agency in order to satisfy its
intelligence needs ?
c. If the U.S. Information Agency needs an intelli-
gence staff, what should be the order of magnitude of
such a staff ?
d. Should the U. S. Information Agency be a member
of the IAC?
e. Are revisions required in NSC Intelligence Direc-
tives
f. What security arrangements are required to meet
solutions to the above problems, and in particular, how
can the needs of the U. S. Information Agency for de-
classification of pertinent intelligence best be achieved?
3. Conclusions
a. The intelligence required for USIA activities does not differ in
-kind from the intelligence required- -0 support the political, econo-
mic, and military activities.of the government. USIA does, however,
regture the intelligence identified in Part 1, paragraph I above, with
an ,emphasis, a detail, and a form not normally required in intelli-
g@nce produced for other purposes.

Part 3
Organizational
Arrangements
b. In the main, provision of the types of intelligence and intelligence
information required to meet the essential needs of USIA has been the
primary responsibility of the Department of State, which has utilized
its own resources and those resources supported or contributed by
other agencies, as established in NSCID-3. Production by State has,
of course, been supplemented by productionby other intelligence units
maintained by agencies with related needs.
c. The total available intelligence of the types required by USIA
and similar comsumers has been inadequate in character, and particularly
in quantity, to meet the needs of these consumers. This inadequacy has
been most marked with respect to basic intelligence and special reports
based thereon (as distinguished from intelligence estimates and current
intelligence.) Therefore the production of basic intelligence in the fields
set forth in Part 1 3. c above should be increased, along with that of
special reports based substantially thereon. The USIA should also be,
given wider access to intelligence estimates and to current intelligence
as recommended in Part I 4. d above to meet its needs for these forms
of intelligence.
d. On the basis of the allocation of responsibilities within the Intelli-
gence Community presently set forth in NSCIDo3, the Department of
State should continue to provide the major part of the intelligence required
by the USIA, and by other consumers with similar needs. If it is to dis-
charge this function, its production of intelligence should be increased
mainly by an expansion of the NIS both topically and in depth of detail,
'particularly to include increased and more adequate intelligence on
"International Communism. "
e. To meet its remaining needs, the USIA should have an intelligence
organization designed to ensure that full use is made of the resources of
the intelligence community and to be responsive to those USIA needs
which cannot be met by the community. The recommended functions and
TbO for a USIA intelligences, organization are set forth at Tab B and
Annex A thereto. "Intelligence" means foreign intelligence in this survey.
Nevertheless, USIA may find it desirable to include in the proposed USIA
intelligence organization the function of providing "Americana, " i. e. ,
domestic information on the U. S.
f. In drawing a definite line between the State Department's function of
providing basic intelligence and special reports and that of the USIA's

Part 3
Organizational
Arrangements
intelligence organization, the basic principle should be to ensure the
fullest use of the Department of State's analytical staff and to avoid
any duplication by the new USIA organization. Accordingly, the State
Department should continue to produce such special reports and analyses
required by USIA and similar consumers as can efficiently be turned
out by the Department's analytical staff without competing with its
basic responsibilities or its ability to meet the State Department's own
specialized needs. In general terms the analytical functions of the
proposed USIA intelligence organization should be limited to: (a) the
tailoring of basic intelligence to its special needs, and (b) the per-
formance of analyses which by reason of some special circumstances
cannot efficiently and conveniently be performed elsewhere in the
intelligence community.
g. The Survey has found it especially necessary to distinguish between
the function of making evaluation judgments and that of providing the
intelligence essential to such judgments (see Part I, paragraph Z above),
and has concluded it would not be desirable to place the responsibility
for making evaluation judgments on the USIA Is programs within the
USIA intelligence organization. That responsibility properly should be
integrated with the executive functions of the Agency or discharged by
a separate staff.
h. USIA operations in the field (USIS) require intelligence support;
in addition to such support as can be provided from Washington, some
local support can be provided. The needs for such support and the 25X1C
possibilities of meeting those needs locally vary greatly between posts
and programs. USIS needs for 25X1C
support are sufficiently like the needs of RFE, RL, RIAS,
to suggest the provision of support for all units b a centra inte i ence 25X1A
support unit under the supervision of ME =ME
(This is being dealt with separately from the Survey.
j. USIA should not become a member of the IAC at this time because:
(1) It is not believed that the contribution which USIA could make
to National Intelligence Estimates is one which would be sufficiently
different from the contributions of the present IAC members.

Organizational
Arrangements
(2) The interagency arrangements recommended by this report
can be effected without USIA membership on the IAC.
(3) Whenever matters within the purview of USIA are to be
discussed by the IAC, the DCI can invite USIA participation, as
provided in NSCID-1. (Similar USIA representation should be .
obtained by the IAC subcommittees on basic intelligence defectors,
and foreign language publications. )
k. The question of IAC membership should be reexamined after a
sufficient amount of time has passed for the implementation of this
report.
1. No revisions in the NSCIDs are required to enable the intelligence
needs of the USIA and similar consumers to be adequately met as
proposed in this Survey, that is in a manner which reflects the present
allocation of responsibilities as among the various agencies that make
up the intelligence community.
m. To obtain the intelligence and intelligence information required
to meet its essential needs, the USIA should make such adjustments as
are necessary.in its security standards for personnel and handling of
information.
Recommendations:
a. That the Department of State, as the appropriate agency under
NSCID-3, expand and redirect the resources of its intelligence
organization so as to accomplish the additional production, princi-
pally under the NIS program, recommended above. This will require
the use for these purposes of additional funds and personnel over and
above those now available in the Department of State or elsewhere.
Eventually the additional outlay required under the NIS program
might amount to or possibly even more. Because of pro-
blems of recruitmen an production planning, however, only
and 30 to 40 additional slots over and above those originally
budgeted will be required for these purposes in the Fiscal Year 1955.
Except insofar as these resources can be made available by the., curtail-
ment of other activities in the Department of State's intelligence
organization or elsewhere, the necessary funds should be provided
by the Central Intelligence Agency through the NIS program pending
a reexamination* of the method of financing that program.

Organizational
Arrangements
b. That USIA establish an intelligence organization, separate from
the Department of State, with functions and organization as set forth
in Tab B and Annex A to Tab B, and with funds provided by USIA's
regular appropriations. Until, a sufficient amount of time has passed
for the implementation of this report the organization should have a
T/O of an order of magnitude of 70 to 90 positions.
c. That the following organizations now under the administration.
of USIA be abolished: CPI, VOA Library & Research, Photo and
IPS Libraries, and that part of IEV which has been engaged inthe
collection and production of intelligence. The slots and money thus
freed will be enough to meet a T/O of the order of magnitude described
above.
d. That USIA be invited to participate in pertinent activities of the
IAC subcommittees on basic intelligence, defectors, and foreign
language publications. (Action: DCI, with Chairmen of the NIS,
IDC, and FLP subcommittees.)
e. That CIA issue instructions to the field to report, insofar as
possible, available "descriptive detail" of items of local interest.
f. That USIA inform the intelligence agencies as to USIA's present
security practices in order to assure safe handling of classified
intelligence and information,and make such adjustments as may be
necessary to insure the necessary freedom of exchange and discussion.
(Action: Director, USIA, in consultation with each intelligence agency.)

USIA Assets
USIA ASSET$
1. Problem: To recommend measures to insure that such
intelligence or intelligence information produced or collected by the
U. S. Information Agency is made available to the IAC agencies.
2. Discussion: Consideration of this problem has included
the questions: "Is there any important intelligence available uniquely
to the U. S. Information Agency which is not known to the intelligence
community? Is there likely to be, any such under new arrangements?"
3. Conclusions:
a. USIS missions are in a position to add significantly
to the collection of intelligence information for USIA and
related consumers.
b. Requirements upon USIS missions, for such collection
should be carefully drawn, levied in moderation, and coordinated
in Washington by USIA with the Department of State..
c. In the field USIS reporting should be coordinated
with reporting by other sections of the Embassy.
d. USIA should screen and disseminate its intelligence
and intelligence information to U. S. agencies concerned.
e. USIA may well develop information, collecting
techniques useful to related programs and to intelligence. Such
information and techniques should be made available to U . S.
agencies concerned.
4. Recomendations:
a. That USIS reporting .be conducted under the direction
of the USIA intelligence organization in coordination with the
State Department.
.b. That such reporting be coordinated in the field
by:, the Chief of the U. S. Mission, as is his responsibility
generally.

II HOW THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED
1 By an exchange of letters in April 1954 (Tabs C and D) the
Director of Central Intelligence and the Director of the United
States Information Agency agreed that the former should conduct
a survey of USIA's intelligence needs and assets and submit
recommendations on how those needs should be met and those
assets used. The terms of reference for the Survey are at
Tab E.
2. The DCI appointed, as Director of the Survey,-
- Special Assistant to the Director for Planning and
Coordination.
3. To accomplish his assignment, established
his survey team which devoted the major part of its time to the
conduct of the survey during the eight weeks which then ensued.
4. The IAC Agencies were invited to participate. (Tab F,
IAC-D-82). In addition, requested USIA, the Operations
Coordinating Board, and DDP/CIA to designate an official in their
respective areas on whom the Survey could call for assistance
and advice, and who would be in a position to arrange for interviews
and conferences with their officials who had an interest in the
problems faced by the Survey.
5. The following are the officials who were thus appointed:
Navy: Lt. Comdr. A. Christopher
AF? Major Thomas B. Johnson
USIA Mr. Henry Loomis
OCB Dr. Horace S. Craig
DDP/CIA
IAC / State: Mr. Fisher Howe
Army: Mr. Yaro J. Skalnik

JIG; Captain P. C, Staley, USN
AEC: Dr. Charles Reichardt
FBI: Mr. Meffert W. Kuhrtz
6. As may be observed from the records of interviews and
conferences, Mr. Loomis, Mr. Howe, Mr, Craig
were invited to attend as observers as many Survey meetings as
possible, since the solutions to the problems would require
primarily the understanding and cooperation of the most interested
agencies represented by these officials. They were. of course,
free to ask questions and to enter into the discussions.
7. In conducting its investigation to determine the needs for
intelligence.on the part of USIA, the Survey Team initially sought
to understand as fully as possible the.functions of the various
components of USIA, to discern what they considered were their
needs, and to help them articulate needs previously only,vagueLy
phrased.
8. The Survey Team interviewed or held conferences with
over 100 individuals from all components of USIA /Washington,
VOA/New York (where two days were spent), the Department
of State (Public Affairs Staff, Political desks, Intelligence area),
,P Operations Coordinating Board (staff), CIA /DDP, PAOs, USIS
Missions in Europe? (Ten days to cover London, Paris, Vienna,
lhunich)'and in Latin America (Ten days to cover Rio, Trinidad,..,
and" Mexico City.) (See Tab G.)
9. The Survey Team reviewed examples of both raw and finished
intelligence in this field, as well as documents bearing upon the
organizational aspects of this problem. A'`selectioit of the latter
is listed at Tab H.
10. In order to relate the statement of need to specific USIA
operations, Thailand and India were selected as case studies.
Memoranda explaining these studies, with their conclusions, are
submitted a eparately (see Tabs I and J ).
