SUBJECT: IAC Comments on "Resume of Budgetary Analysis of
Intelligence Programs Planned by the Staff of the
Bureau of the Budget"
The Intelligence Advisory Committee recognizes that,
despite the difficulties involved in a review of all budgets
pertaining to intelligence, this is a necessary process if the
President is to be informed of the total cost of intelligence
as he views all other aspects of the national security program
of the government.
The IAC recognizes also that Congress and others outside
of intelligence have not to date been fully aware of the inter-
dependence of the various agencies of the government operating
either from identifiable intelligence budgets or from non-intelligence
budgets. Insofar as an examination of the present distribution of
resources will assist in the understanding of this interdependence,
it would be helpful. Wkile There has never been any proportion
established between money spent on eelleet#ea collecting as opposed
to processing of intelligence information, and it is highly unlikely
that there is any necessary proportionate relationship a#-a .

foresee dangers in over-simplification which will ignore the
subtleties between these two categories should an effort be made to
draw conclusions as to what constitutes an appropriate relationship.

what might at first glance seem to be areas of unprofitable !a licat,ioh.
Wewevea, Here again we foresee the dangers of jumping to conciusion3
without the detailed analysis and understanding of functions which
may be characteristic of those who live with the problem ea-a-fit.-iar
tae4A from day to day.
-3,- In order to offset # these dangers a3Aeal-~w-e-a~care,
we heartily support the Bureau's view that we should work closely
together. The attached classification list accordingly has been
developed in cooperation between the IAC sub-committee and represen-
tatives of the Bureau. It represents what jointly seems the most
significant and meaningful categorization of intelligence activities
in terms of the intelligence processes both from a technical point
of view and from a budgetary point of view.
-4. It is believed by the IAC that in proceeding to obtain
departmental data opposite the relevant classification categories,
the Bureau may be benefited further by continuing consultation
with the same group which prepared the classification list. Accordingly,
the IAC suggests that the Bureau maintain continuing liaison with
that group or to bring matters directly to the IAC if that appears
preferable.
(Add here your thought on proper channels.)
