Z. Spoke with Dr. Guthe concerning the study laid on the EIC by
the IAC after it had been put to the IAC by the JIG, and suggested
that if the JIG could be induced formally to withdraw their study
formally (as had been done in several other cases, e.g., IAC-D-62)
that would obviate possible unnecessary discussions in the IAC.
Also spoke to Dr. Guthe about NSC-29 and reminded him that Mr. Reber
was charged with this knotty problem for the Agency.
25X1A 3. Spoke several times to concerning how to handle

of a one page summary is open, but if one is to be prepared it would be
better for us to do it rather than NSC's Secretariat.
3. In response to a question of Holbrook of JIG, informed him that
it would be all right for him to pass the Indochina report to the Joint
Staff (this report is the one which the IAC heard on a tape recording
at Tuesday's meeting).
3. When Ted Nordbeck informed us that the Air Force was pestering
the State Department in Vienna for information available in Washington
as a result of operation, I got to straighten the
matter out by having the Vital Documents' copy of the information made
available to Air Force in Washington. 190 reels are involved, co

Sherman Kent had suggested to DD/I that the IAC should be consulted
if an IAC produced and agreed paper was to be withdrawn. DD/I asked
that this matter 'be put on the agenda for Tuesday". In the absence
of DD/I I retrieved a carbon of his letter but was unable to find
the incoming letter from Dean. I then discussed with what action 25X1A
to take and urged that this not be raised formally on an agenda unless
papers could be provided the IAC members and a brief memorandum prepared
for the DCI. This seemed particularly important since, on the 23rd of
April, each of the IAC members, at the request of the DCI, had been
provided with copies of an exchange of correspondence between Chairman
Foley of ICIS and the DCI respecting this very estimate. Minder-
took to pursue the matter with DD/I.

these file folders in the back4pe4ga and hold there material from
five to two years old. Material more than five years old should

1. With attended three and one half hour-session
in ONE on the 1953 N draft program. State (Allen Evans) provided
the representatives with copies of his December 22 paper on "Intelli-
gence Research Support for Program of National Intelligence Estimates",
and was otherwise also helpful, particularly in suggesting an arrange-
ment of estimates by areas (as more meaningful than either a numerical
or chronological listing). The only serious disagreement concerned VI
"Research in Support of the National Estimates Program". This section
appears to have been drafted by and either inadequately
expresses their thought or their thought is incapable of expression. In
any event, all present save ONE disputed the section. It was agreed to
reproduce Sections I through V, recirculating them, and have another
meeting. OIC volunteered to attempt a re-drafting of VI.
When the Navy representative complained that his Chief was not
reporting what took place at the IAC, Mr. Amory forcefully suggested
that the LAC minutes would be more helpful if less terse. I acknowledged
the possibility of expanding the minutes, but foreswore minutes of great
length, and in this connection Allen Evans underwrote the idea of
"not too long minutes"

the briefing is a) a sanitized SIE 5; b) an up-dating of SIE 5; (c) OSI's

the one point where the phrase "scientific and technical" is used; it
seemed to me that if OSI objected to this it would be because they were
really talking about revising NSCID #10, and in that case it would be
better to revise the NSCID rather than to attempt to change it by a
bilateral State-CIA implementation of it.

he might well suggest to DDI that no further Progress Reports be made
on NSC-50, given the responsibility to report under NSC-135 and given the
tactical disadvantage of continuing to connect CIA's progress with the
Dulles Committee Report.

that if an NSCID creating new allocations of responsibilities was not

Secretary of State from the DCI, Mr. Nordbeck might include a reminder
of the responsibilities of the Department of State in this field,
since it appeared that failure to understand these responsibilities
might well be a large contributing factor to the inability of the
State Department to achieve cooperation from the military services/
