ORAMUM FOR: TEE DMMT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: IAC Meeting Thursday, 21 Deceaber, at 1100 hours
1. Essential Elements of information Mr. Jackson
(No document)
2. Joint Intelligence Indications Committee General Rolling
This discussion is to center around plans for this Committee
to fulfill the requirements set forth in the action of the IAC,
(See IAC Mm10) To refresh your memory this reads as follows:
Action: Agreed that there should be a single Watch
Committee in the Government properly operated with the full
participation of the IAC members* This Committee should be
the Watch Committee currently located in the Pentagon and
headed by General Weckerling. General Smith stated that the
? Watch Committee headed by the CIA should be abolished and
that the terms of reference before the members would, there-
fore, not need to be acted upon. He requested General Bolling
to have distributed to the member agencies the terms of refer-
ence under which the present Watch Committee in the Pentagon
is operating and arrange for such modification as may be neces-
sary to provide the U. S. Government the service required.
General Smith stated that it was his responsibility to see that
there is an arrangement in the Government for carrying out the
functions of a Watch C ttee, that he did not consider it
necessary for the CIA to head it, that this Committee should
serve the entire Government and should accordingly be fully
supported. He said that he was prepared to provide such
financial or other support as was necessary for this Committee
to fulfill his needs under the statute. It was understood
that teletype facilities already exist which would ensure
communication necessary to meet the needs of the DCI and the
IAC members.
The proposed terms of reference for the-CIA Watch Committee
(IAC?D-6) will be useful in this discussion and this document
should be brought to the meeting.

For your information only:
I have called General Weckerling and suggested that he take the
initiative in speaking on two issues which concern the Agency:
a. That the present Intelligence Indications Committee in the
Pentagon is dealing too much with estimating, and
be That in the past the Agency has not been happy with the
Pentagon's reciprocation on the working level.
General Weckerling indicated that he agreed with these criticisms
and pointed out that he had had some trouble with his people in this
respect.
