PROPOSED ECONOMIC DEFENSE STAFFING PROGRAM FOR OIR/STATE
Fr 192h=25
I. Purposes: To provide supplementary intelligence support for economic
defense po cias and programs; effect coordination of intelligence of EDAC
interest produced by the Department of State; provide EDAC and user agencies
with necessary analyses and supporting material adapted for use in the
economic defense program; and establish and maintain special reference
materials for economic defense purposes deriving from the intelligence
collection and analysis resources and functions of the Department of State.
II. Organisations A special Economic Defense Staff will be established in
OIR consi ing of a Coordinating Section and two basic functional units with
supporting area specialists in appropriate divisions,
Ill. Relationshi to the EDAC Structures Project requests for intelligence
research will normally-be-
ormally be initiated through the IWG and may be proposed by
any EDAC agency or working group. However, urgent spot requests need not be
initiated through the IWG.
OIR project contributions will be referred to the IWG for review and
comment. Papers produced in response to urgent spot requests will be furnished
to the requestor directly, but copies should be sent to IWG so that IAC
agencies may be informed of such contributions.
The OIR Economic Defense Staff will supplement the resources of the
Department of State by drawing upon those agencies primarily responsible for
producing the other intelligence required and, in particular, will utilize
pertinent studies completed or underway. It is intended that the OIR
Economic Defense Staff should be utilized extensively for adapting intelli-
gence materials and analyses for EDAC purposes in consultation with other
producing agencies, particularly when Soviet bloc and non-bloc considerations
are intermingled, or when agencies having primary responsibility are unable
to undertake the task,
