in the field of atomic energy intelligence 1/ and to give added impetus
to individual efforts. To this end, the responsibilities of the JAEIC
include the following:
a. Providing a mechanism for the fuller exchange of
national atomic energy information for intelligence pu-poses.
b. Conducting evaluation of significant atomic energy
intelligence information and producing appropriate re-
ports to the IAC.
c. Developing over-all atomic energy intelligence ob-
jectives, and reviewing the scope of the collection effort
to meet those objectives.
d. Coordinating the determination of atomic energy
intelligence collection requirements and related activities.
e. Providing a mechanism for coordinating the atomic
energy intelligence production efforts of the member
agencies and, in appropriate cases, concurring in the
working papers produced by member agencies.
