General
1. During December 1960 plans and proposals for the functions
and staffing of the Liaison Staff (CIA Hdq~.) were formulated (Ref. A).
The present proposals are based on these plans, modified in the light
of subsequent developments, principally a firming of the requirement
for maximiun efficient centralization of Talent facilities at Langley
(Ref. C) and changes occassioned by the establishment of NPIC.

Missions and Functions; Space
2. Proposed Missions and Functions are listed in Attachment A.
Within the allotted detachment space of 2300 square feet will be housed
the Liaison Staff offices, current substantive files, study facilities
for CIA analysts, supporting equipment, and administrative space for
OSI, OCI, and probably DD~P (see Attachment B for floor plan). ORR
will maintain its own sizeable control center and work area. The
O~DD~I will maintain a center for administrative files but will rely
on the Liaison Staff (CIA Hdq~s.) for current publications. The
Liaison Staff will serve as the .channel for substantive require-
ments to and from CIA components and the CIA Detachment at NPIC, and,
.. ,
as a document control and dissemination cente~~ o the maximum extent
that proves to be efficient ~ No substantive photo interpretation will
~~
be undertaken by the Liaison Staff.
3? Because of space limitations and the need for security com-
partmentation, only CIA personnel possessing highly sensitive clearances
can be accommodated within the Liaison Staff space. We can handle only
a limited number of non-HIi conferences or study sessions, and these
must be restricted to Talent and similarly sensitive materials. Con-
ferences on materials of less sensitivity, and perhaps on some Talent
and similar material as well, will have to be arranged to be held
outside of the Liaison Staff area= It will be necessary that requests
for, or inquiries relating to photographic intelligence support
originating from unwitting CIA analysts be channeled through and
