?IENFATIPE oUMNE FOR SAL RMIMT
The following outline sketches the content of a comprehensive
final Survey group report which could be classified "secret" and
rabmitted to the National Security Council by 1 January 1949? It
will probably be necessary to submit additional special reports
at the conclusion of the Survey dealing with personalities or with
particularly delictate matters. It may also be necessary to prepare
a brief summary report which would be available for Congressional
Ccttees and, if necessary, released to the public.
The following sketches the contents of t=ie various chapters of
the proposed comprehensive reports

This chapter would provide an orientation in the problems which
have led to the present intelligence structure and would seek to
identify the principles which determined the sett we now have.
Reference would be made to the following points i
(i) The emphasis on intelligence as a result of our experience
during the war# beginning with the alleged intelligence failure that
contributed to the Pearl Harbor disaster,
(2) Our traditional neglect of intelligence in the Service

This chapter would attempt to analyze and develop standar- s for
a t -tgonal intelligence system against which we can measure what we
ntW have and make rece mendations for improvement. The following

(c) The need for coordinAtion of intelligence opinion
(d) The need for providing certain comion central services,
including tb4 collection of secret intelligence,
(2) The structural relationship of a central intelligence
agency to the policy-raking agencies of the Government in order to
who should control the central agency and how the mod for
ndependence in the central agency is to be reconciledtwith the need
to make its work relevant to operational requirements and of use to
y makers. This will require an analysis of the concept
"intelligence is a function of ca rd".
3} The question of personnel and leadership in intelli ence,
the proper balance between civilian and military partidipation
and the need for trained professional personnel.
(4) The need for security and hoer this is to be met.
