Proposed Amendment of IAC-M-185, Item 3
After extended discussion, which revealed considerable
differences of opinion regarding the character of and necessity
for 4 24-hour operation of the Indications Center by permanent
staff members, agreement was reached to proceed with the
recruitment of up to five additional persons for this ~er In\
the discussion it was brought out that the apparent function of the
Indications 'Center is not to supplant or duplicate the existing
departmental watch and alert mechanisms nor to relieve. the
Watch Committee,of its responsibility for malting evaluations.
The Indications Center.is not itself expected to notify other than
the Watch Committee members. Rather the purpose of the
24-hour operation by the Indications Center is to receive from
individual agencies. information bearing on indications, and to
expedite the collation of this information for use by Watch
Committee members whenever required by day or night.
Those participating agencies which find it feasible to make
personnel available for this purpose will do so. A final decision
on the proposed 24'-hour watch was postponed.
