TO Chief, COAPS
FROM Assistant Director for Reports and Estimates
DATE: DEC 131949
SUBJECT: Particular Intelligence Questions Requiring Coordination or Attention
RE11-=CE: Circular Memorandurm, subject as above, dated 2 December 1949
1. In commenting upon the draft reply to the National Security
Council contained in the reference, this Office assumes that the
eight paragraphs covered represent the only points on which the
Central Intelligence Agency is required to report to the National
Security Council.
2. With respect to paragraph 4 of the reference, this Office
suggests that the wording set forth below be substituted for that
contained in the reference.
"As the intelligence facility of the National Security
Council and the President, the Central Intelligence Agency
must continually and systematically report all developments,
political, economic, military, and otherwise, which materially
affect or have a bearing upon United States national security
and objectives abroad. While CIA's Daily and Ileekly Summaries
are based to a considerable degree upon Department of State
materials, the major cause for this situation derives from
the fact that the Department of State makes their highest
level intelligence and operational materials which have
utility for intelligence purposes available to the Central
Intelligence Agency whereas the Departments of Array, Navy
and Air do not r redraft of NSCID #1 is in preparation
W en. approved, will require the Departments of Army,
Navy and Air to furnish such material to the Central
Intelligence Agency for inclusion in its intelligences
summaries. Moreover, in periods of relative peace, the
bulk of intelligence is of a political and economic, rather
than military, nature. The Central Intelligence Agency's
intelligence summaries are the only ones designed primarily
for the President and the National Security Council. Each
departmental intelligence agency is authorized to and should
produce such current publications as are required to meet
their own departmental needs."
