The Chairman indicated that he had called this special IAC
meeting to review the developing crisis in Lebanon, particularly
in the light of the current disorders and fighting and information
bearing on the possibility that an early formal request might be made
for intervention by the US. The members then exchanged views on
intelligence and information related to the Lebanese situation, in-
cluding late messages or reports which ,arrived during the course of
the meeting.
As the first order of business, the members discussed the
special Watch Committee report No. 410-A which was addressed to
the Lebanese situation. The members approved this report subject
to the following amendments: (a) in the second sentence of paragraph
3 delete "anywhere near" and substitute "to"'; and
The Chairman then suggested that the members review the
most recent estimate on the situation in Lebanon (SNIE 36. 4-58)
and consider the question of updating that 'paper in the light of sub-
sequent developments. He, emphasized that he wished to disseminate
any new estimate to the White House as aeon as possible. After dis-
cussing pertinent intelligence and information the members agreed
.to adjourn temporarily at 1745, pending preparation of a draft special
estimate by a working group under the chairmanship of
Vice Chairman of the Board of National Estimates.
At 2000 the members reconvened and approved the draft
SNIE 36. 4-1-58, "The Lebanese Crisis," as amended.
