SURVEY OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL DIRECTLY ENGAGED IN
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS IN SUPPORT OF THE PRODUCTION OF
ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE:
The Chairman noted that the undertaking of the survey was approved
in principle by USIB members of the EIC at the 12 September meeting.
The Department of Defense representatives suggested a further
breakdown under the subject "Military Economics." Discussion
followed on the revised Instructions to be used in the preparation of
the survey. It was agreed that the survey would reflect the situation
as of 30 September 1966 rather than 30 June 1966. In view of the narrow
definition of "economic intelligence" for the purpose of this survey, the
Chairman plans to meet with members concerned to discuss the type of
work they do to help in the determination of what properly should be
included in their reporting of professional manpower.
Those modifications and changes agreed to at the meeting will be
incorporated in a revised Instruction Sheet and circulated to members
for concurrence.
SUBCOMMITTEE ON PETROLEUM:
The Chairman recalled that it had been the consensus of members that
the subcommittee be continued for another year and that the Committee
should provide appropriate guidance.
A draft memorandum setting forth guidelines for the subcommittee's
operation was circulated. Discussion followed and. the guidelines were
approved for forwarding to the Subcommittee Chairman. Information
copies will be made available to EIC members.
