MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Research and Reports
SUBJECT . DDI Relationships with the Department
of State
1. St/CS has no formal relationships with the De-
partment of State.
2. In the process of coordinating Central Intelli-
gence Bulletin materials and the Report of the Watch
Committee, there is frequent contact on subjects arising
in the course of current intelligence production.
3. As a result of these contacts, State personnel
frequently call upon St/CS for short-order assistance.
These calls are generally from working level types in
immediate need of either factual information on an in-
formed guess as what CIA opinion might turn out to be.
The staff responds directly to some and passes others
on within ORR. This flow is generally one way, with
St/CS obtaining little assistance from State operations
in Washington.
4. State reporting is, of course, essential to the
production of current economic intelligence on the Com-
munist world. Perhaps 10 to 20 percent of useful in-
formation is derived from State reports.
