Subject: NSA/CSS Comments on Committee on Foreign Intelligence Directive
No. 1
The draft Committee. on Foreign Intelligence Directive No. 1, as'
provided by the CFI staff on 27 February 1976, has been reviewed by NSA/CSS.
In the main, there is no objection to the process outlined in the draft
paper. However, there are several points which we believe warrant review
and reconsideration.
a. In section IN, under "Program and Budget Process," it is
stated that, "It is intended that these recommendations be derived through
the normal processes which currently exist in the individual departments
and agencies."' This being so, the flow chart of the CPI Programming--
Budgeting cycle presents some anomalies:
(1) CFI Fiscal Guidance appears a month later than DoD
guidance.
(2). The PMBR target of 15 September may be early, particularly
if budget request is to include Service Cryptologic Agencies (SCAB).
(3) CFI Budget Review in September is premature. This Agency 25X1
does not see SCA budget requests submitted by departments until the first
week in October (October 1 is the DoD required submission date).

also, we feel., an element of confusion in tile inclusiion exclusion
and Departmental Indications and Warning Centers "Intelligence Centers and Facilities." The precise difference is not
readily apparent.
