Study of Intelligence Production
on Chile
Pur ose:
To assess the quality of intelligence production on Chile,
and on the basis of lessons learned, to prepare conclusions and
recommendations regarding intelligence processes and products.
Scope:
The study would cover intelligence production of the community
and the individual agencies, including NIEs, from January 1970 to
July 1972. Operational matters relating to Chile would be excluded.
Questions to be addressed would include:
1. What guidance and requirements for intelligence
production were provided by end users?
2. What have been the trends in the size and nature of
the production effort (numbers of personnel, qualifications,
educational and experience backgrounds, etc.) during the
period under study?
3. What was produced, to whom was it disseminated, and
to what extent was it responsive to user needs? What
feedback has been received from end users to help in
production and in collection tasking?

4. Irrespective of substantive judgments, what has been
the quality of the intelligence products?
5. To what extent have the production efforts been
coordinated in the community? Have differing points
of view been well articulated? Has.there been
undesirable duplication?
Study Procedure:
This study would be conducted by a task group of CIA, DIA, and
INR representatives. It is suggested that CIA chair the study. A
user panel would be selected to assist in assessing the quality and
responsiveness of the products.
