broad terms on his perspections of the SDIO. He seemed to he looking
forward to the CIPC study and offered his and his staff's help to Carlos
and Rich in preparing the study.
25X1 ? On 14 August, PFIAB Executive Secretary, briefed Jim, Ray,
25X1 Carlos and Rich on the progress of the PFIAB study on SDI. said
that the PFIAB effort would probably conclude in October, b e was
unsure whether or not it would result in a formal report to the
President. In any event, he invited Carlos to get in touch with the
25X1 principal staffer, later this month for more details.
25X1 ? Finally, also on the 14th, provided Rich a copy of his
summary of the Community's response to the SDIO's intelligence
requirements, together with a draft memorandum from D/ICS to D/SDIO. His
summary will satisfy the bulk of our needs for input to the collection
portion of our strawman report. The PPS report has some interesting
suggestions on production. It contains very little useful information on
the Intelligence Community's responsibility in supporting the SDIO,
however, it will serve our purposes in conjunction with the working
group's research in that area.
? The bad news is that the draft memorandum from the n/ICS to P/SDIO
virtually ignores the CIPC study effort and the summary itself is in no
way ready to go to the senior IC officials.
? In addition, Rich has read and discussed the PPS report with) and
concludes that:
The report includes many unsubstantiated findings loosely
extrapolated from an incoherent set of responses. seems to
agree it needs coordination at senior levels of IC components but he
seems to want to do this by the D/ICS sending a draft out to the
Community for written comment. We maintain that the CIPC SDI Working
Group needs to work out more authoritative conclusions and
recommendations for the DCI.
We have no problem with PPS sending, via D/ICS, the D/SDIO a status
report on the initial Community reaction to the SDIO's statement of
intelligence requirements, even to include some findings as long as
the latter are identified as tentative.

WEEKLY ACTIVITIES & STATUS REPORT FOR THE DD/ICS--20 August 1986
Based on the experience with the staffing of the April D/ICS
memorandum, and the initial confusion created within the Intelligence
Community, a separate PPS effort to coordinate their report properly
will:
* Take months to complete.
* Obviate or minimize the need for a CIPC study on intelligence
support to SDI.
* If separate PPS coordination is done quickly and casually, the
report as written will, among other things, duplicate a
significant position of the issues in the CIPC TOP, requiring a
major shift in our approach and schedule.
