A. PNSC Policies (General)
The U. S. is of making significant progress in the psycholo~:ical
field toward its jjective of reduction and rf-traction of Soviet power
as laid down in NSC 20/4. Further progress toward the development
and im;:lementation of an agreed overall strategic concept for our
national psychological program, an effort can take place only in con-
junction with a corres ond' development of capabilities and resources
and an ac
companying adjustment of aszc na ion po icier an programs
designed to have a deterrent effect on the Soviet Union. The distor-
tion and exploitation by Communists of anti-American propaganda are
occasio-ing resistance instrumentalism and charges of aggressiveness
of our psychological effort.

B. Inter-Departmental Policies (General)
Headline publicity about U. S. atomic prowess is a very question-
able line of policy. The most that seems to be required at this
time is an occasional guarded but reassuring statement to the effect
that U. S. national interest, with respect to atomic weapons, is
being effectively safe-guarded.
The Department of Defense raises two major points for resolutions
(1) It requests clarification of the role and obligations of the
military establishment in psychological operations, and (2) It states
the opiaion that the nations military establishment can render more
effective support to the national psychological program; if its war-
time potentials are exploited to the maximum during the cold-war period.
An appropriate authority is suggested for a reexamination of the
entire question of inter-departmental coordination mechanisms for
achieving national psychological objectives.

25X1A
CIA regards coordinating machinery between civilian and mili-
tary authorities in the field of psychological as inadequate
in certain respects. A coordinating mechanism was set up,
for example, but failed to include the operations of USIE services
in Korea. Close cooperation with the military exists in the field
on intelligence and tactical psychological warfare measures. However,
a completely effective coordination of two major strategical plans
with respect to Korea has not been realized with respect to command
and logistical support, but steps are being taken to remedy the
situation.
The U. S. Government should provide a firm and clear policy on

The excessively aggressive and militaristic tone of some of the
statements made by U. S. Government officials which play directly
into the hands of the Soviet Peace offensive calls for the establish-

(Eastern Europe)
The State Department has indicated reluctance to countenance any
activity which could be construed to support a separatist tendency.

(General)
Policy modification is requested on NSC 10/2 with respect to
broadening its utilization in reference to attribution of our govern-
ment with respect to certain aspects of CIA operations, so that
during high-level operations, discreet reference may be made to
indicate some measure of U. S. support.

D. International Policies (General)
Because of Burma's disapproval of Americas present policy of
laying the foundation of effective guerrilla activities in the event
that this country may be overrun by the Communists, some leaders
in Burma are reluctant to cooperate with.the U. S. fully. CIA is
governed by a policy limitation which precludes any action which
would seriously prejudice U. S. relations with the government in
Burma.
Satisfactory progress has been impeded by the lack of overall
national policy and by State Department policy toward personnel
support of developmental projects which has precluded sufficient
staffing for programs laying the ground work for future operations
in Burma.
Indochina
CIA has been unable to lay the foundation for effective guerrilla
activity because it has not received a policy authorization to do so
and because the French have been unwilling to cooperate in this
matter.
Even though there are severe policy limitations, considerable
progress has been made in s chological warfare activities and
some progress in the
