Ahe Director of Central Intelligence
The Chairman, President's Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board
SUBJECT: Foreign Intelligence Activities of the
United States
The interests of national defense and security require sustained
effort on the part of the intelligence community to support me
and other officials having policy and command responsibilities.
It is therefore my desire that priority attention be given to
ways and means of strengthening the Government's capabilities
in the foreign intelligence and related fields through concerted
action to improve the organization, conduct and effectiveness of
the major intelligence-related programs in which U. S. depart-
ments and agencies are engaged. Efficient management and
direction of the complex activities which make up the total
foreign intelligence effort are essential to meet day-to-day
national intelligence requirements, and to ensure the develop-
ment and application of advanced means for the collection,
processing, analysis, estimating and reporting of intelligence
information. In this connection, you have already seen my
letter of instruction to the Director of Central Intelligence dated
September 24, 1965.
In keeping with Executive Order No. 10938, I will continue to
look to. the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board
for advice and recommendations concerning the objectives and
.conduct of the foreign intelligence and related activities of the
United States. I shall expect representatives of the Board to
continue the practice of making on-the-scene reviews of
significant intelligence activities carried out in the United
States and at appropriate locations abroad.
