has to be done, If it isn't done you are going to find that your priorities are wrong, you are going to find that
some set of problems and some set of prejudices have seized the initiative, that you are behind the power
curve and are simply unable to get your plane up into the air.

That has to be carried then to the area of the Jinkage of intelligence with operations and policy. Not that
operations and policy tell intelligence what to say, but intelligence tells them what are the bounds of feasi-
bility. what is the true nature of the environment in which you have to operate and that has a very sobering
disciplinary effect which is very much needed for these idea people and these hotshots that have all kinds
of things that they are interested in. And in intelligence matters {the analyst is] often the purveyor of bad
news and he fives at some risk of life and limb because presidents like other people don't especially care to
hear about that. But that is part of the job, and | can remember many mornings when Eisenhower himself
would look over his glasses at me and he would say what good news have you got for me now. That is the
job that has to be done.

Aur? 1 1964

Dear Mr. President:

To determine how the Department of Defense could best
implernent the approved recommendations of the Joint Study
Group Report on Foraign Intelligence Activities of the United
States Government applicable te the Department, I initiated an
intensive analysis of the organisation and management of defense
intelligence activities fast January. This analysts ie continuing
im specialised areas of defense intelligence activities with partici-
pation by all major components of the Department, and, where
appropriate, by other organisations in the national intelligence
community.

The major product of the first six monthe of study has
been the creation of the Defense Intelligence Agency, ot DIA,
which will be activated on October 1, 1961, and whose first
Director, Lieutenant General Joseph F. Carroll, USAF, wes
appointed on August 12, 1961,

Fundamental to the decision to establish this new Defense
Agency was the conclusion that only through the establishment of
such an organisation could the majority of the Joint Study Group
recommendations applicable to the Department be most effectively
achieved, Furthermore, we concluded that only through a DIA
would the over-all capacity of the Department of Defense to collect,
produce, and disseminate military intelligence information be great-
ly strengthened and greater unity of effort achieved among all
components of the Department in the development of military intel-
Mgence information,

In determining the specific intelligence functions which will
be directly controlled by DIA, we were guided by the Joint Study
Group recommendations. Similarly, the Joint Study Group recom-
mendations were carefully considered in ascertaining what intel-
Hgence functions should be retained in the military departments but
made subject to DIA's supervision (as distinguished from DIA's

direct control).

Overview of the Origins of DIA (Continued) . .
DIA — AT THE CREATION

Our early philosophy of peace still prevails. but within our generation and for our
own protection, organized intelligence has been forced upon us by the rapidly
shrinking world of electronics, nuclear weapons, and planes which travel at
supersonic speed.

The Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 responded to widespread public opinion
that the Defense Department needed major reform. The Act's drafters wanted to improve
management — and streamline command channels in the Defense Department — without
severely disrupting the authority of the Military Departments. The 1958 Reorganization Act did
not require a consolidated Defense intelligence organization. But the Act did compel the Defense
intelligence reforms that produced the DIA in 1961.

The 1958 Reorganization Act removed much of the important decision-making from the Military
Departments and placed it in the hands of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense.
The legislation also aimed to strengthen the chain of command over U.S. combatant forces from
the President to the Secretary of Defense — then through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the
commanders-in-chief of the Unitied and Specitied Commands.

Until 1958. each Military Department (the Army, the Navy and the Air Force) had a large
organization collecting, producing and disseminating intelligence for its own intelligence
headquarters and component commands.

Additionally. the Joint Chiefs of Staff provided jointly agreed intelligence to the Secretary of
Defense and to the heads of the Unified and Specified Commands. But “joint intelligence” was
just a synthesis of departmental intelligence. Neither the J-2 nor the Services could resolve the
inevitable differences of the Military Departments. Important things suffered, such as the optimal
design of the national military posture and the contribution of military intelligence to U.S. foreign
policy.

By 1958 this much was clear: the intelligence support provided to the combatant commands was
unsatisfactory. Defense intelligence assets were inherently duplicative, cumbersome, poorly
distributed, costly, and did not provide for unitied (or even coordinated) military intelligence
estimates at any echelon. In practice the system was ineffective because it failed to provide timely
and credible estimates.

The Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 continued the centralization process underway in the
Department since 1947, The Act removed any lingering doubt about the Secretary's authority and
placed the JCS in the chain of command for intelligence support to the Unified and Specified
Commands. Department of Defense Directive 5100.1 (31 December 1958) assigned responsibility
to the JCS and Military Departments for the provision of adequate, timely and reliable
intelligence.

Also in 1958, the National Security Council created the United States Intelligence Board (USIB).
The Board’s members were the Secretaries of State and Defense, the Directors of the FBI, CIA,
and NSA, representatives of the Military Services, and, representatives formerly responsible for
communications intelligence.

FORMAT FOR DIA WRITTEN REPLY TO AN OJCS PAPER

1. Normally the DIA reply to an OJCS paper shall be expressed in one

of the following ways: concurrence in the content and position presented
in the papers a concurrence accompanied by the submission of specific
changes DIA recommends be made in the paper; a concurrence subject to the
making of specific changes in the, papers or a nonconcurrence.

2. Coneurrence.

When the DIA position on an OJCS paper 1s concurrence, the DIA reply should
inelude the sentence “DIA concurs in J-2 ”

(When the reply is prepared for the Director's signature, the pronoun "I*
should be used).
3. Gonourrence with recommended 4a! ce

a. When the DIA position on an OJCS paper is concurrence but includes
inviting attention to changes which DIA recommends be made, the DIA reply
should include the sentence "DIA (I) concur(s) in J-2 but submit(s)}
the following recommended changes and reasons therfor:"

b. The recommended changes are presented in the format of the "line-in,
line-out" techrique. This technique indicates the specific places in the
document for the changes to be made and the specific modification of the
language of the paper to accomplish the changes by one or more of the methods
described below:

envisages the DIA management control arrangement to be
approximately that of the present Photographic and Survey Branch,
Directorate far Intelligence of the Joint Staff, with cach military
department retaining considerable latitude for establishing require-
ments for the production of items. used by that Department's
component elemente of unified and specified commands. In esssuce,
the revieed DIA plan would establish an additional management layer
in DLA without eliminating duplicating management layers jn the
military departments, Significantly, it doeg not identify specific
personnel spaces or staff elements for transfer to DIA.

Accordingly, the revised DIA plan should be further revised
to bring it into specific conformity with the guidance contained in
reference (a). In undertaking the necessary revisions, I believe it
would be helpful for the Director of DIA to work with the Directar of
Organizational and Management Planning.

sorapleted and aukmitted to mo for my consideration on ox bofere

T THE CREATION

COOKE: You can go alf the way back to before there were “Js.” because the origin of the Chiets goes back,
of course, to the combined Chiefs of Stalf. It was simply their way of functioning. You know the Congress
had at that time an abiding fear for the Prussian General Staff. They didn't understand the concept. In fact,
there were very few people in the building who knew what the Prussian General Staff was like in World
War I. But they didn't like it at the time when the Chiets were originally started and the Joint Staff was
established. At that time initially [limited] to £00, it simply continued the fact that there were people who
were really on Service roads. 1 would have to check my memory slate on the JCS.

ALLEN: In the plan for establishing DIA which was tinally approved by the JCS in September of 1961,
and, of course, became operational October 1961. it talks about the DIA taking over the J2 function ulti-
mately. Why did this not occur officially until 1963?

COOKE: Well, it didn't ovcur in the sense that the charter didn't reflect the change antil 1963. Again, it was
back a length of time, I think they had successfully assumed the functions of the J2 prior fo that ume and
the charter was merely the last step not the first step.

ALLEN: From the JCS historical record. there was a JCS joint study. with some recommendations by the
Chairman of the JCS. ‘should we abolish the J2 or not?’ They came up with four recommendations: one
was abolish those. two, let DIA take it over, three, do some merget of the two, or four, don't abolish it. This
is in the March 1963 timetrame where T would have thought the horse was already well oat of the barn.

COOKE: | think the horse was already out of the barn, because the decision was essentially not the Chair-
man’s or the Chief's to make without McNamara. This is not to say that we didn't consult the Chiefs, but the
real reason was to establish an integrated intelligenve that one can argue we sul] haven't completely
achieved. The Services’ intelligence organizations showed a great ability to survive

ALLEN: Secretary McNamara had been in office about two weeks [8 February 1961] when he said, ‘there
will be a DIA, and sent a Jetter to JCS on that fact. The whole spring of 1961 there was a lot going on con-
cerning this: you were a part of it. Of note was the opposition from the JCS. They wanted to call ita Mili
tary Intelligence Agency.

COOKE: And they wanted it to report to the Chiefs.

ALLEN: Do you recall their thinking on intelligence expanding?

COOKE: What was the Chief's thinking on intelligence? I will not characterize that. f think it was Bob
MeNamara that said ‘the Chiefs resisted the intrusion,’ as they saw it ‘of civilian amateurs in the business
of intelligence.” It was that simple.

ALLEN: Through the years subsequent to establishing DIA. there was opposition by the Services for DIA
being known as the J2. Yet, the Director of DIA said, ‘I am the J2.’ Would you address that in particular
from various points of view? Start with the Secretary of Defense?

COOKE: { don't think this ever rose to the level of the Secretary of Defense. Simply, the part of the Ser-
vices was lo accept the military leader of the Chiefs, not so much the Service secretary. Over the years you
look at what happened to DIA. We added technical intelligence: we eventually added mapping, charting
and geodesy, but spun that off into another layer to what is now the Defense Mapping Agency [1972]. But

PANEL EXCERPTS FROM
LIEUTENANT GENERAL ABBOTT C. GREENLEAF, USAF (RET)
18 OCTOBER 1996

Edited by Brian G. Shellum

There was a Top Secret multi-codeword report done at the instigation of the Eisenhower Administration. ...
On the day before he left office, President [Dwight D.] Eisenhower, reviewed the 40-odd recommenda-
tions, initialed all but one which he rejected and held two or three in abeyance. That particular document
was key in the formation of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Another effort under way at that time |1960] was [by] then Secretary [of Defense Thomas S.] Gates who
formed an ad hoc group to survey the organization and management of the Department ot Defense. Flag
officers from each of the Military Departments were invited to attend. Each brought a berse-holder. Doc
{David O. Cooke] held the Navy's horse and 1 held the Air Force’s horse. After our first meeting with Sec-
retary Gates, we said what we really want to do is work. The flag and general officers went away and Due
and T and our Army colleague were left.

From the course of that work we identified what became the Defense Intelligence Agency, drawing heavily
on work that bad been done under the auspices of the coordination group. The Army came up with the idea
of a “military intelligence agency.” an effort then shared with the J2 and the Joint Staff [who added] a “mil-
itary intelligence board.”

We put all those things together in a briefing which Mr. Gates had us first give to the Business Advisory
Council at Hot Springs, [Virginia], a wonderful place for a briefing. On the 5th of January (961. that brief-
ing had been restructured and reduced to two hours for Mr. [Robert] McNamara, Mr. [Lyman] Kirkpatrick.
Mr. Paul Nitze, that time as presidential
appointees. The briefing took two bours but the interaction with Mr. McNamara and company took all day.
That evening some of us were advised by General George S. Brown, [USAF] not to seek reassignment
because when the administration took office we were [to be] reassigned. Doc and T then found ourselves in
this organization of management planning. an effort of four people that Mr. MeNamara had established.
and placed it under the guidance of Cy[rus] Vance initially.

and |Mr.] Cyrus Vance, all of whom had been designated a

Mr. McNamara [had] heard of the background of {Major| General (Joseph F.] Carroll, {USAF} who bad
been very successful in the Bureau and had come to the Air Force on a direct transfer to become a colonel
overnight and a general officer the next day [in 1948 to find a number of security leaks throughout the
Defense Department]. Rather a fast rise.

So after working the papers for months and finally reaching a final decision, the Secretary of Defense
[asked] who is going to head this activity? At that time you must keep in mind, there was a strong suspicion
throughout our government of the objectivity of defense intelligence. The Military Services generated esti-
mates [that] always followed force stracture aspirations. particularly the Navy and the Air Force. The Army
was much less dogmatic about it.

Should the initial Director of DIA be a card carrying. a platinum carrying intelligence spook belonging to
the military services? Well there was no question that there should be a military officer to head it. The Sec-
retary of Defense had been very impressed, as | mentioned, with General Carroll's work. An informal

c. In addition to the above positions there are certain others the
incuinbeuts of which are closely associated with aviation, but do not
require an aviator’s skill, Positions in this category should not, be
included as aviator positions. Individuals can be trained to fill these
positions by attending management or technical courses at appropriate
branch schools. These positions are of two types—

(1) Working level positions very closely associated with aviation
in a limited yet highly specialized area, such as aviation
maintenance, supply, administration, communications, facili-
ties, etc,

(2) Managorial positions requiving a diverse knowledge of a
variety of functions to include the capabilities and limitations
of Army aviation. Such positions would include transporta-
tion management, logistic coordination, comptroller monitor-
ship, etc.

4, Aviator requirements. «. Aviator positions will be identified
in all future detailed TD submitted in support of Troop Bases in ac-
cordance with AR 611-101 for officers and SR 605~105-5 for warrant
officers. In the review and analysis of aviator positions, commanders
must insure the essentiality of an aviator occupying any position. It
should be particularly noted that if the position requires an 2ero-
nautical rating, in addition to qualification in an MOS that does not
require an aeronautical designation, the prefix digit 6 must be used.

6. Upon review and approval of fiscal year 1962 and subsequent
Command Troop Bases, Headquarters, Department of the Army will
issue aviator authorizations to major commands. These command
aviator authorizations are in fact ceilings which, once established, can-
not be changed except by Department of the Army approval.

¢. Requests for adjustments of aviator authorizations will be ac-
complished by submitting such requests for changes in aviation an-
thorizations by separate action and in format. prescribed by paragraph
8b(1), appendix I, AR 310-41.

(1) Such requests will ba submitied on DA Form 608-42
(change to Table of Distribution) (Reports Control Symbol
CSG PA-382), in triplicate through channels to Deputy
Chief of Staff for Personnel, Department of the Army,
Washington 25, D.C, All data required including branch,

effective, spontaneous response to the demands of events
and circumstances, We have sought corrective measures f.
these deficiencies in the community that reflect lack of ex-
plicitly planned development.

We have reviewed the National Security Act of 1947
(as amended) and other applicable statutes. We have examined
those provisions of each National Security Council Intelligence
Directive and Director of Central Intelligence Directive within
our terms of reference both to determine their appropriateness
and their degree of implementation. We have also studied the
Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958,

Finally, the Joint Study Group has paid particular atten-
tion to the future, and carefully examined the extent of long-
term planning within the intelligence community,

We particularly want to thank those many members of
the intelligence community who spent long hours preparing
helpful briefing material for the Study Group. In addition, their
very frank discussions of problems and ideas for improvements

were invaluable to us in preparing this report.

were drawn from the Military Services and the Department of State. The position of Director,
Central Intelligence was established to head the organization. But the Services and the State
Department still had control over their own resources, influenced the CIG. and continued to
directly advise the President.

Also during 1946, the Congressional Joint Committee on the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor
Attack recommended integration of all Army and Navy intelligence organizations. “Operational
and intelligence work required centralization of authority and clear-cut allocation of
responsibility,” the committee wrote. By 1947, Congress realized that increased integration of
Service intelligence and improved joint operations were vital to U.S. global securily interests and
technological progress.

The National Security Act of 1947 took the first step toward reform. The 1947 Act consolidated
the separate Military Services into the Department of Defense, created the National Security
Council (NSC) as an advisory group to the President, and established the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA). The Act charged the Director, Central Intelligence with responsibility for
“coordinating the intelligence activities of the several Government departments and agencies in
the interest of national security.”

Despite the powers rendered the CIA by the National Security Act of 1947. the institutional
claims of the Military Services and the State Department continued to plague the CIA. The
Services and State Department maintained control over their own resources by using the CIG as
precedent for the CIA. The precedent resurfaced whenever centralized control of the fragmented
military intelligence apparatus was considered.

The National Security Act of 1947 was deliberately vague in defining C1A’s responsibilities, The

Military and State Departments opposed centralized management, arguing that to be prepared to

conduct wartime operations they must exercise control over peacetime intelligence activities. The
CIA became a weak coordinator in a confederation of departmental intelligence organizations.

The 1947 Act left intact the Joint Intelligence Committee within the Organization of the Joint
Staff. During World War I, the JIC’s furnished “agreed military intelligence” to other agencies of
the JCS and represented them on the Allied wartime Combined Intelligence Commitice. The HC
did not unify the U.S. military intelligence components, nor did it produce composite national
intelligence estimates. It did, however. provide the organizational basis of the DIA

The working level of the JIC was called the Joint Intelligence Subcommittee Staff. Officers from
the Military Services were assigned full-time to this body. later renamed the Joint Intelligence
Staff. Subsequently, the Joint Intelligence Staff became the Joint Intelligence Group GHG). or the
J-2. Ultimately, the positions of Director, J-2 and Director, DIA were filled by the same senior-
ranking military officer.

In 1948, President Truman appointed a commission under former President Herbert Hoover to
assess the effectiveness of the Executive Branch of Government.

if you look at intelligence you see an increasing centralization. If you Jook at the evolution of the Depart-
ment of Defense since 1947 you will see a trend toward centralization of the functions from the Military
Departments from Service Secretaries to OSD. You will see a marked change in the rofes of the Chief's
other than the Chairman. Now, the Chiefs at best are resource managers and advisors to the Chairman.
When [Admiral] Bill Crowe took over, he went very cautiously and I think he was wise to do so and [Gen-
eral] Colin [Powell] went further. [Over the course of their history] it was some time before the Joint Staff
finally and reluctantly agreed to report to the Chairman, and not to the Joint Chiefs.

ALLEN: Is DIA the J2 other than name only?
COOKE: Yes, for most of the important intelligence DIA is the J2 equal to the Chairman. [However, the

problem remains that] each of the Service Chiefs has access to his own intelligence organization and the
hearty surviving elements of each of the Chiefs can be armed with that.

ALLEN: Going back again to the spring of 1961 when you were a part of this group formulating the plan
{for DIA]. how long did that committee continue and how long did this oversight continue after General
Carroll actually became organization head in October 1961?

COOKE: | don’t remember if we were getting implementation reports or not: probably not for a couple
reasons. We were kept reasonably busy by Bob McNamara and we never had an organization. We never
had the luxury of going back very often. If we went back to view DIA. there were always intelligence
issues [to consider.

Bring military intelligence orgenization into full consonance with
the concept of the Defense Reorganixation Act of 1958,

S£atus: Two principal actions accouplished the objective: establishnent
of DIA, and realignuent of intelligence channels and relations with and
between the commands.

The reorganization of DOD intelligance around or within DIA is well
advenced. In addition to progress reported previously, a major step will
be the activation of the DIA Production Center {n October. During that
month the phased proces of physically integrating service production
elements within it will begin.

DIA plans are prepared and in various stages of review for comprehensive
planning, supervision and wenagement of intelligence activities remaining with

PANEL DISCUSSION BY
GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON GOODPASTER, USA (RET)
OCTOBER 1986

Thank you very much General. . .. Anytime there is an opportunity to reminisce about key events of the
past I find it very hard to resist. The establishment of DIA was an important and valuable step, . . . that
establishment has been a most impressive contribution to our country and to the operation of our whole
security structure. One reason that | myself accepted to participate in this yathering was a sense of
obligation that | have bad for many years, twenty-five of them now, for the support that DLA provided the
operation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, operations in Vietnam. and subseyuent duties m Europe with our
allies. Through afl of that DIA has made a powerful and an essential professional intelligence contribution.
My remarks are billed as "present at the creation.” I will qualify that a bit. | will use a metaphor. J don't
want to press this metaphor too far in a mixed gathering. | was really present at the conception, | would
say, and [ will tell you that I was somewhere else when the actual creation occurred. But {did have a hand
in some of the early nurturing and nourishment and, if | may say so, even cleaning up after some of the
early events that accompanied the establishment of DIA. | would like to talk a bit about the prologue.

During the 1950s, from the mid 1950s on. 1 was serving as the Staff Secretary in the White House to
President Eisenhower with a second duty as his operations assistant in the area of international atfairs and
activities of all kinds extending from the military through the diplomatic, through the intelligence and such
supporting activities as the USTA and the economic aid program and the atomic program. Tt was a wide
charter and it had to do with duties that the President regarded as quite central to his responsibilities. He
was a man. [who due to] his experience had Jearned to be very attentive to intelligence. He was
experienced in using it and he expected it to be of very high quality. Without being negative about it.
because the intelligence he received was a very great and essential value to him. | would have to say that he
was not fully satisfied with what he was getting. He was uneasy about some of the collateral activities in
the intelligence field. He set up a foreign intelligence advisory board composed of a number of very
distinguished individuals in whom be had very high confidence to evaluate the whole intelligence picture
and the whole range of intelligence operations.

I might say just to illustrate this. that we bad been through one gap. the so-called bomber gap in the mid
1950s, and there was a lot of publicity and a lot of pressure to enter into a crash program to piatch the
anticipated, the estimated Soviet buildup. He was unpersuaded on this, and | recall that for several years
running this dispute went on. Finally we ran a check. We looked back through the national intelligence
estimates of several years to see just what had been happening. We found that the intelligeace technique
that was being used was one of estimating capabilities, but it was not estimating capabilities to provide
bombers on the Soviet side from known or inferred production facilities. Instead it was based on an
analysis of what production facilities they could have. had they decided to put their fall or nearly full
technical economic capability into enlarging their production facilities. The result of this was we found out
that they had not enlarged their production facilities and that each year the estimate of what their future
production would be just slipped by one year. In fact they had leveled off and there was no real requirement
for us to enter into that crash program. We had our B-52 program. which was fulfilling a very vital mission.

The experience of the bomber gap really led us into a second similar experience which was the so-called
missile gap. This again was the subject of considerable political activity: great pressures in the press 9
one, and many proposals for crash programs. Eisenhower himself was very reluctant to enter into crash
programs. He wanted to have a more stable program extending withoat stops and starts, without feast or

Dear Allen:

The Directive cstablishing the Defense Inteligence
Agency has been issued today and I enclose @ copy for your
information, together with a copy of a memorandum dealing with
the administrative requirements of the new agency. You will note
that the Directive incorporates the change suggested in the
memorandum which you sent me on July 13, 1961. We will also
take inte account your other comments a5 the new agency is
activated,

As to your comment regarding the mainténance of
two Indications Centers in the Pentagon, we hava decided for
the time being to maintain here both the National Indications
Center and the new DIA Waming and Indications Genter (which
probably will be an expansion of existing Air Force Warning
Center). Although it ts desircble to collocate the two centers,
it is our judgment that their functions are clearly separable and
that they should not be merged unt!) experience demonstrates the
advisability of such a step.

Sincerely,

Ove of the things most lacking in estimates of Soriet military

Weapons as wesyon systems (in which the characteristics of the associate!

point of view.

expenditures in ace furcticnal areas have Leen quite atable. For
exsuple, Soriet expenditure on General War Offensive Forces during the
period 1954 through 1959 waa almost cxmctly balf as large es their
expenditure on Gensral War DeYensive Forces. Turing this periad
expenditures on the latter force ares gradually rose frow 15 billioe
1955 rables to 21 Billion 1955 rubles. Projection of these ani other
expenditure patterns into the future and caustreining entimated Borie?
progress within these expenditure limits weight be an extremly uscful
estimating technique. Current methods of eatimeting have consistertly
tenfled to produce estimates of Soviet programs that avoved expenditure
patterns different from the actusl patterns end trents of Soviet
military expenliture. Usumliy the implied profile of expenditure
significantly exceeted the actual for the first few years, then fell
off and often dropped below the actual experiiturn after four or fire
youra, ‘This phenomenon, the “bow wave effect," could be svaided by
more systematic use of probable patterns of Soviet military expenditure.

More generally, teking an over-all programming point af view
my be a useful mrthod of improving catimates af the future Sorict

wilitexry posture. Almost invariably, projected estimates of Soriet

‘force structures arrived at piecemeal end up overstating Soviet capebiiitics

and, es I mentioned earlier, teply an expenditure profile greatly
exceeting current Soviet buiget levela. Many of these overstatenonts,
which often ssrve to discredit the ecatimates, and to lest us to despair
irsteed of to couservetive decisions, could ba. avoided if tno Intelligence
Pproluct were an estinste of the Soviet defense program as a whale,

and not moraly a List of separate ani wirelated extimates of individual
elements. Im addition to the constraints Imposed by projected patterns
of expenditurs, mart systemtic account could be taken, by a programing
feproach, of known patterns of Gariet wenpon syutee replecernt ant
phasing practices, leadtinc problems, etc. Programming techniques
deing developed in the Comptroller's office for use in pleming U. 8.
Rilitery programs might be adaptable for use in a similated Soriet
military programeiig effort.

T would be heppy to discuss this with you at a mitually couventent
time, ani to provide you with Whatever essistance we can.

Alec, as you know, my Programming Office is charged with the
responsibility af assisting the Secretary of Nefense in developing «
Seyear program for the Depertuent of Defense. I would Like my office
to work in collaboration with yours in developing such a program in

vital intelligence efforta during the time DIA ie Locoming operaticnal,
Ibelieve we must expect that there may be a temporary over-all
increase in the total number of personnel working in some functional
inteliigence arcan during perjods of transition, On the other hand,
there-may be over-all savings in intelligence personnel tn other func-
tional intelligence areas, It appears, therefore, tuat overagea in one
area could in some instances be applied to short=ges in anothe;.
Another complicating factor, of course, iz that DIA has been asatgned
taéke and functions which heretofore have never been performed in

the Department. Adequate manning must be provided for these new
activities as well.

Consequently, the requirement fer f:nal DIA JT D's is waived
until DLA assumes full responsibility for assigned functions. The
Director, DLA, however, w: will eubmit interim JTD‘s for DI DIA orgamiza-

nt Chiefs 8 of

tional elements as they are activated and v and will keep th the Jolr

Staff, the Segretary and myeelf continually apprised of it
deyels, personnel requirements, and adjustments thereto.
when DIA becomes fully operational, it is expected that the total
number of personnel involved in its intelligence activities as well

as those involved in intelligence activities at the headquarters leve}

of the military departments will be less than the total number assigned

‘to Washington-level. intelligence activities.on J Auguat 1961.
; OS nce

In providing operational space for the DLA Production and
ADPS Genters, the priorities and provisions of reference (d) will
govern.

Biographies

ORIGINS OF DIA: BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Joseph F. Carroll, LtGen, USAF: General Carroll was born in Chicago, IL, on 19 March 1910, He
graduated in 1933 from St. Mary's College, Mundelein, IL, with a bachelor of arts degree. After receiving a
doctorate of jurisprudence from Loyola University, Chicago, in 1940, he became a member of the Illinois
State Bar Association. General Carroll joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in October 1940,
where be served until the termination of World War IL. For the purpose of disposing of war surplus property
throughout the world, the FBI assigned General Carroll to the Surplus Property Administration. In May
1947, the FBI recalled him to bis former position as an Inspector and Administrative Assistant to the
Director of the FBI.

In September 1947, the new Secretary of the Air Force requested the FBI assign General Carroll to the
ices to recommend an Air Force agency for investigative and counterintelligence functions. He
d. organized. and became the first director of this new organization, the Office of Special
vestigations. On 12 January 1948, he was tendered a commission. as a colonel, USAF Reserve, and then
was ordered to active duty in the grade of brigadier general in May 1948. In September 1950, General
Carroll was appointed Deputy Inspector General for Security, USAF. In this capacity, he directed the
Office of Special Investigations and the Office of the Provost Marshal, USAF, and was responsible for all
security plans and policy for the Air Force. General Carroll's statu: a reservist on active duty ended on
29 January 1952. when he was integrated into the Regular Air Force as a permanent colonel by a specific
Act of Congress. General Carroll served in 1958, as Deputy Commander (Rear) for the U.S. Air Forces in
Europe until November 1958 when he became Chief of Staff of that command.

In February 1960, General Carroll was promoted to lieutenant general and became the Inspector General,
USAF, Washington, D.C. He remained in that position until October 1961, when Secretary of Defense
Robert S. McNamara appointed him as DIA's first Director. General Carroll served as DIA Director until
September 1969.

David O. Cooke: Mr. Cooke has been involved in Defense management since 1958 when he as a member
of Secretary of Defense McElroy's task force on DoD reorganization. He was a member and then Director
of the Oftice of Organizational and Management Planning which spearheaded the sweeping changes in
Defense organization during Secretary McNamara's years and he continued to handle major Defense
management issues for every subsequent Secretary of Defense. Mr. Cooke served as the Director.
Administration and Management Office of the Secretary of Defense, until his death in 2002.

Patrick J. Coyne: The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

1964 to June 66.

Goodpaster (Continued)

important intelligence targets. Also DIA was beginning to serve as a foram for resolving differences. In
imposing that overall constraint that I referred to earlier, they were building a working relationsbip with
CIA and. as many of you know and all could guess, that was not an easy process because there was
voncern in CLA that DIA was muscling into their turf. The sbeer fact of the matter was that DIA was
providing technical military intelligence that went bevond what CIA could or really ever would be able to
provide. The other thing [DIA officers] were doing was {developing] what now goes under the [heading] of
national technical means .... They were staking out an area of responsibility and competence in the whole
area of overhead photography. That was a great leap forward from what we had with the U2 and the earlier
satellite forms of national technical means.

1 think that takes me through most of the early stages that could be called the creative time of DIA, At the
end of that period, say late 1962. early ‘63 and on into 1964 perhaps. the stage was set for further evoluhon:
for further development of production capabilities. But trom that ime on T think there could be oo serious
or responsible argument that there was no cole for DIA. That rele bad been established and the need had
been demonstrated and well proven, and as a long-time recipient of the products of DIA let me repeat the
same thing [ said at the outset--whether my service was in the Pentagon with the Joint Chiets of Statf, or in
Vietnam, or in Europe as the NATO commander and the commander of the U.S. forces--] feel a great sense
of ebligation to the high professional contributions of military intelligence provided by the DIA. fam
happy to be with you to acknowledge that sense of obfiyation this morsing. My own personal schedule will
allow me to stay only a few more minutes, but you have a very able panel here and I have no tear that they
will be able to straighten out asy misinformation. T would claim only that | have given you no deliberate
misinformation this morning. My errors have at least the merit of reflecting good intention. Thank you
very much.

QUESTION: What wits the unpact of the Bay of Pigs on Kennedy's mindset? Do you think that had we not
had the Bay of Pigs that his decision would have been altered in any way or that it was just a inatter of time
for him to get educated in the real world?

GEN GOODPASTER: I think it was the latter. If it hadn't been the Bay of Pigs it would bave been
something else--perhaps not as startling as happened in the Bay of Pigs. After the Bay of Pigs he knew he
bad to do something. He consulted with Eisenhower and very quickly learned that aspect of presidential
responsibility. 1 think that is something that has to be learned by presidents that come from the Cangress
where they are able to pick a particular issue and pursue that with the feeling that somebody else is going
to take care of alf the rest of it. The way I pat it was the President's desk is where everything comes
together, and be bas got to concern himself with the full range of ixsues. And the kind of interaction that
you get on the Hill of contending interests simply cannot be reciprocated in the staffs and agencies that
serve the President. There has to be some kind of coordinating. some kind of integrating mechanism and
the integrating mechanism above all is the President himsel!. That desk is where everything comes
together. But he bas to have help in that regard.

One of the attacks made during the political campaign of 1960 was that the coordinating mechanism was
too ponderous. too slow, it was a paper drill and so on. There was a good deal of truth in every part of iL
But while recognizing the truth you had to recognize the other side, and that is the utter necessity for the
president to have mechanisms of that kind. You can streamline them, you can make them more effective,
you can make them quicker acting and give them more bite. You can do all those things but you must have
something like that. Dick Neutstadt [Richard E. Neustadt] who participated in the study that recommended
to Kennedy to scrap all of this put it very well later when he said we aimed at Eisenhower but we hit
Kennedy in doing that. ft was the President himself who was handicapped by the disitusion with this
mechanism, and he set about in one way or another to reconstitute the processes of integration, And it just

Section 1 (Documents 1 to 29)

Introduction

This part of the collection includes most of the DIA-related correspondence in 1961-1963
between the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency, and the newly designated Director of the Defense Intelligence
Agency. Much discussed was how DIA would be activated, how key intelligence functions would
be transferred to DIA from the Intelligence Directorate of the Joint Staff, and how that directorate
would be disestablished. Also much discussed was how the new DIA would respond to the recom-
mendations of the "Joint Study Group Report on Foreign Intelligence Activities of the United
States.” Extracts from the Joint Study Group Report lead this section. The documents in Section I
tell exactly why DIA was needed, how it was authorized, and how it was established.

DIA came about with the unenthusiastic cooperation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and powerful
Congressional critics who doubted it would work. DIA’s formation also tested cooperation in the
Defense intelligence community because key issues were undefined in the Agency’s operating
concept. For example, the Director of DIA reported to the Secretary of Defense through the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. This meant the Director responded to the JCS in providing intelligence to the
Defense intelligence community and also to the Secretary in managing intelligence programs. A
fine line separated the two responsibilities, demanding exceptional skill from the Director. Never-
theless, in the fall of 1961, the new DIA responded effectively during the Berlin Crisis with the
Soviet Union. In November 1962, DIA also effectively led the nation’s military intelligence
response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This was remarkable for an agency facing so many chal-
lenges to get established — so few months before.

comments on the Plan ae expressed by the Chairman, JCS, in
reference (b}.

I fully appreciate, the benefits to the attache system af
continuing to the extant feostble the identity of Service attaches
and of permitting cartain Service-atachs and Cémmandqattache
channels for representational functions. However,. these features
must not be allowed to distort the basic objective of the DAS,
namely, the establishment of a single Defense Attache who will
control the activities of all the attaches at a givan station,

Specifically, the -devtgnated Defense Attache is rasponsibls for the
representatio activities of
his subordinates, C6! rr @ agparate chain of command

aver the representational functions-of the Sarvice attaches outside
the contral of the Defense Aitachs would defeat the purpose of the
DAS, On the other hand, the continuation of direct communications
between the Services /Gombatant Commands and the respective
Service attaches, in accordance with procedures to be eatablished
by DIA, fox purposes of expediting and coordinating routine activities
would be folly compatible with the concept af the DAS.

famine over many years. In others words planning and organizing for the long pull.

Also we had available an intelligence tool of very great power and value. and that was the U2. This was
flown with full recognization of the risks that were being taken. Those risks were differently evaluated.
Some said even if the Russians could shoot one down they would never admit that these planes had been
overflying their country and that they had been incapable of acting against them. That did not turn out to be
a very faccurate] surmise. Bisenhower himself had a clear vision of the storms that might ensue when and
if the Soviets ever shot one of these down and he was very close to correct. But he felt that the value of the
take both in the positive evidence that we received. and . this is much more difficult, in the negative
information we had of what they were not doing, was of sufficient value to justify those risks.

f remember when questions were raised after the U2 was shot down [over whether it had been} wise to do
that [use it]. Eisenhower at one either cabinet meeting or security council meeting asked for anybody to
stand up who would have been prepared to sacrifice all the intelligence thal we had received up to that
time. I can tell you no one really wanted to stand up. Whether it was because of the views on the matter or
because it would have been seen as challenging a rather strong-minded President, the part of wisdom was
to not press that.

[The President] felt, due to this and many other things. that there was an organizational gap and he
discussed this with his foreign intelligence advisory board. Because of this vision and view as to the
importance of intelligence, he simply was not prepared to tolerate the areas of inadequacy, as he viewed it,
that existed there. The CIA was performing very useful work but they were Jimited in their ability to carry
out technical military analysis of the kind he expected and in fact demanded. On the other hand, the
intelligence produced by the individual services was highly influenced by service interest. We may as well
lay that out on the table. There was what is called in fancy language subobjection. They were pursuing
objectives that were related in many ways to their service interest and to the focus of their own attention. Tn
addition there was what might be called “worst casing” on a piecemeal basis. [There was also] the lack of
overall integration and recognition of resource constraints on the other side. My remarks on the bomber
gap [presented] an example of that.

In the JCS and at the level of the Secretary of Defense. there was the lack of a suitable entity for them to deal
with directly in getting the intelligence support they needed. The result was that by the time Eisenhower's
administration ... was coming to an end it had became very clear that some additional entity was needed,
and so in trying to clean up bis desk before turning over to his successor he gave policy approval to action to
try to deal with this need... . When President Kennedy came in he had a different approach from
Eisenhower .... He initially did not have a close tie-in between his policy and operations on the one hand
and his intelligeace on the other. This was in sharp contrast to Eisenhower who had grown up through his
senior professional military experience very dependent and making great use and continuing use and day-
by-day use of intelligence. In principal, as the first thing in the morning every day. [officers had] to report to
him the intelligence reports that had come in, the diplomatic reports and any military operational reports. I
say in principal because you had to fight for the President’s time. He sometimes had contrary ideas, and
when his ideas were contrary to mine it was generally done his way. But after the Bay of Pigs, President
Kennedy, who talked to Eisenhower after the Bay of Pigs took steps to strengthen these ties between
intelligence and the policy and operations. There is nothing like a dash of good hard cold intelligence to cool
down the policy enthusiasts who would like to go haring off in directions that would be unlikely to prove
feasible and unlikely to prove consistent with intelligence about the world environment.

Now I left in March 1961. f served with President Kennedy for about two months of transition after he
came to office. I returned in November 1962 as the Assistant to the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

This, however, does not completely sotve the problem, If we are
to continue the security classification of Secret on total dollar estimates
in the appropriation accounts for Defense agencies for the amounts
included for NSA, we are compelled to classify every detailed breakdown
of those appropriation accounts and thus withhold intormation from the
public with respect to personnel and cellax support provided for the
unclassified activities. This has presented a difficult problem in beth the
Holuee and the Senate Appropriations Cornmrmittees.

In addition, other committees of Congress are inquiring into
similar information with rbspect to the Defense agencies ~-notably the
Vinsoa committee study. IH the information on total dollars included
in the various appropriation accounte for NSA can be declassified, then
it would appear that the same ground cules should apply to total dollar
estimates for DIA and the problem would be resolved. It this cannot be
done, then it would appear desirable to piace both of these intelligence
activities back in the Army budget where itis not so easy to pinpoint.

It ie xecommended that both DIA and NSA be continued in the
Defense agencies appropriation accounts along with DASA as classified
projécts but that the total dollars as well as the total number of positions
for DIA and DASA be coneidered as unclassified information (the budget
does not include the number of positions for NSA). This arrangement
would permit release of information with respect to the unclassified
agencies included in the budget even though euch release would permit
the identification of the total dollars included in the budget for DASA,
DA‘ and NSA by deduction.

Section 1 (Documents 30 to 104)

Early Transformation of DIA Directorates and Main Entities

Introduction

The documents in Section II chronicle the intense evolution of DIA from 1961 to 1965.
Secretary of Defense McNamara believed a well-planned and confident beginning was key to the
new Agency’s success. Therefore Secretary McNamara entrusted the DIA to its first director, Lt
Gen Joseph F. Carroll, USAF, a highly capable officer. DIA took over many intelligence tasks
previously done by the Service intelligence elements and the J-2 of the Joint Staff. This required
case-by-case choices about exactly when to phase in DIA’s assumption of each new responsibility.
The timing not only depended upon the character of each function, but also upon how fast each
could be transferred without interruption or degradation.

From the outset in 1961, DIA’s organizational divisions performed one of three functions:
Headquarters Support, Management and Agency Support, or Operations. The divisions were
essentially unchanged until the 1970 reorganization. The documents in Section I are therefore
arranged by Agency function: Administration (30-39); Production (40-63); Collection (64-69):
the Defense Intelligence School (70-73); Mapping. Charting and Geodesy (74-78): Security.
Counterintelligence _and__ Communications (79-86): Scientific _and__Technical (87-93):
Dissemination (94-97); and, the Defense Attaché System (98-104). Most of these documents
were produced by DIA. The Secretary of Defense produced several of them. A number relate to
matters of joint interest to the DIA and the Central Intelligence Agency.

The documents detail the deliberate process by which DIA assumed more and more responsibility
for key defense intelligence functions. In 1962. Lt Gen Carroll added the Defense Intelligence
School, established the Agency's Intelligence Career Development Program, and launched the
Automated Data Processing Center. In 1963, DIA assumed the J-2’s functions from the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and opened the Agency’s Intelligence Production Center. In 1964 Lt Gen Carroll
established the Agency’s Scientific and Technical Directorate. In 1965 the Agency took over all
the Services’ attaché programs.

DIA’s assumption of more and more responsibility was perfectly timed. The mid 1960s brought
an explosion in the need for Defense intelligence products and services. The Vietnam War
required the Agency to vastly expand the type and variety of intelligence it provided to operational
forces. The war, unfortunately, also created several thousand missing U.S. military personnel and
prisoners-of-war. MIAs and POWs would remain an Agency focus for many years after the
Vietnam War ended.

5. The draft Directive does not put all DoD intelligence
and related activities in one organization. Special operations will
remain the responsibility of an Assistant to the Secretary of Defense
and COMINT, ELINT and COMSEC will remain the responsibility
of NSA, The Defense Intelligence Agency will assume control over
certain DoD intelligence functions and will coordinate and supervise
the execution of those DoD intelligence functions not transferred to
DIA. It is envisaged that some DoD intelligence activities, such as
personnel and industrial security and intelligence training, will
probably be retained im the military departments, While other
intelligence functiona, such ae technical intelligence and counter-
intelligence may be transferred in whole or m part to DIA, for the
time being they will continue to be conducted by the military depart+
ments. The draft Directive, of necessity, cannot treat how these
and other details of DIA are to be implemented. At the time the
Directive is signed, a mechanism will be provided for resolving such
problerns to the end that DIA may become fully operational as 600n
as possible. Mr. McNamara and I regard thie objective as a matter
of the highest priority.

é& The appointment and membership of a Military Intelligence
Board (MIB), as outlined in the JCS concept and plan for a DIA, dated
2 March 1961, is approved on an interim basis to act only a6 an
advisory body to the Director, DIA, The MIB will meet on the call of
the Director, DIA. When DIA has become fully operational the
desirability and utility of continuing the MIB will be reconsidered.

DEPARTMENT UF DEFENSE ANKOUNCES
NEW CEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell L. Gilpatric today announced the
establishment. of a new military intelligence organization, the Defense
Lotel Figence Agency (DIA}, This new Gefense Agency will report through the
Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Secretary of Defense and will combine & number
of intelligence functions heretofore carried out indenendently by the
separate military departments. Consolidation of certain intelligence
Functions under the Joint Chiefs of Staff is in ful] consonance with the
concepts embodied in the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, and
particularly the provisions of the Defense Reorgarization Act of 1863.

Mr. Gilpatric emphasized that this significant change in the organization and
management of Defense intelligence functions hos been made with the approval
of President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

Mr. Gilpatric characterized the principal objectives in establishing the DIA
4% obtaining greater unity of effort among al] components of the Deparurent
of Defense in develop’ng military intelligence and as strengthening the over-
all capacity af the Oepartment for collection, procuction and disseminetten
of Defense intelligence information.

tir. Gilpatric also stated that Secretary of Defense McNamara and he expected
that this new Defense Agency would result in more efficient allecation of
critical intelligence resources, more effective management of all Cepartment
of Defense intelligence activities, and the elimination cf duplicating
facilities, organizations and tasks.

The establishment of the Defense Intelligeace Agency was based primarily an 4
concept and plan develcped by the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the request of
Secretary MeNanara. It represents the culmination of intensive studies on
Defense intelligence activities canducted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
othar components of the DoD over the ‘ast six months.

Mr. Gilpatric said that the new Defense Intelligence Agency will follow a
carefully planned, time-phased schedule of implemantation, and that it would
take a period of time to became fully aperational. He emphasized that the
implementation schedule will be carefully arranged so that there will be no
disrustion of vital JoD intelligence activities or capabilities during the
activation period.

It is antictpated that the Director of the qew agency wil] be a three star
general or flag officer on active duty. Wis term of office will be for four
years and his appointment will be announced shortly.

DIA — AT THE CREATION

PREFACE

This year the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) celebrates the 40th anniversary of its
establishment. Defense intelligence is America’s first line of defense. We are very proud of our
accomplishments as the nation’s premier producer of foreign military intelligence. We are equally
proud of our many contributions as a combat support agency and our support to the wartighter in
the Department of Defense.

From the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 - to the Gulf War in 1991 - to
the global war on terrorism in 2001, DIA has excelled as the provider of timely and accurate
intelligence to the decisionmaker and the warfighter. Good intelligence, delivered at the right
time and place. can mean more than the difference between victory and defeat. It can also mean
life or death for members of our Armed Forces who fight our wars on land, sea. in the air, and now
in space. The future will present many complex intelligence challenges, and DIA is well poised
to meet them.

This volume contains the basic documents that established and defined the Agency at its creation.
The 104 specially selected documents tell our early story from 1961 to 1965 and provide the
reasons for the Agency’s organization. DIA recognizes that it must organize and publicize
formerly classified documents in accordance with Executive Order 12958. As DIA enters its
fourth decade of preeminence in Defense intelligence support, we have an obligation to DIA
employees. the public, and historians to unveil the previously classified materials on the origins
and accomplishments of this Agency. We have done so in the form of this introductory volume.
In the near future, we will publish additional volumes covering the years from 1965 to the present.

This volume should also provide Defense intelligence insight to national security planners and
decisionmakers as they face new intelligence challenges and consider future Intelligence
Community organizational and mission structuring. I hope the readers find this first installment as
useful. informative, and interesting as | have.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY DESIGNATE

SUBIECE: Specific Responsibilities of the Director, Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA}

1. I expect the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to become
fully operational as quickly as possible. The DIA will Tay integrate
the intelligence resources and functions assigned to its control; it
de not a "confederation." I am holding you personally responsible for
the exped:.tious esteblishment of DIA and for tne development of all
Pplaus necessary to its activation. Such plans will be submitted to me
for approval through the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

2. Since DIA will assume full responsibility for the specific
functions assigned to the Agency on & time-yhased basis, I request that
you submit to me throngh the Joint Chiefs of Staff periodic progress
reports. These reports should be submitted at all important steps in
DIA's activation and should be prepared in a format suiteble for sub-
misaion to the President.

3. I have recerved to myself the power to appoint the Deputy
Director and the Chie? of Staff of DIA. I am charging you with the
responsibility of filling other key billets in DIA with the best quali-
Tied officers regardless of their Service affiliation. You my request
nominees for these positions from the military depertments. The eassign-
ment of military personnel te key positions in DIA must be made for
varying terms of appointment so that continuity in all DIA offices my
be obtained.

4, With the establishment of DIA, implementation of many of
the approved Joint Study Group Report recommendations applicable to
the Department of Defence will be facilitated. I em charging you with
the responsibility of expediting all of those recomendations other than
those for which NSA iz responsible. I wish @ monthiy report of the
current etatus of cach epecific recommendation, together with en estimated
completion date for each recamendation.

had relatively Sittle to do with intelligence}. and out in the CINCs, the unified commands. which were a
post-World War If development. Most of the intelligence efforts were in the CINC components, not CINC
headquarters.

So the idea was, of course, to gain greater efficiency, effectiveness, and economy. but I will also tell you
that there was no reorganization in the Department of Defense. [Reference to the 1958 Reorgan
I have been in this business since McELroy's time which was not in part justified by the magic words “
ciency. effectiveness. and economy.” [Laughter] | think there was an effort to level the playing field in
intelligence and remove Service biases from the intelligence. There was a question of recognition that. not
only did the Services need the intelligence, but that they had to hand over the necessary [resources].

In any case, the implementation of that particular path fell to the newly established office of Organization
and Management Planning. The [Service] Chiefs of Staff themselves were heavy players in the game. and
there were some proposals to make a new Military Intelligence Board which reported to the Chiefs.
McNamara looked at this, but held tirm on his belief that DIA really should be independent of the Chiefs
and report to the Secretary of Defense. We spent a lot of time drilling through a number of iterations and
coordinating the concept. What essentially we did. was considered the detail of the concept. and from that,
derived the charter or directive [for DIA]. The man who was coordinating that was not only in the Services,
bat was Graves Erskin who at the time was on the OSD staff for what we would now call counterintelli-
gence and various types [of similar] activities. Jt went up the river {CLA} and to the National Security
Council, and so forth. By the time we got to the last version. 1 think we told McNamara that we had accom-
modated all concerned. Everyone agreed with the exception of three “minor” players: the Secretaries of the
Amy, Navy and Air Force.

At the time, my memory of it is that we really did not focus on the J2. Two comments J think: we had
already assumed that the new agency would supply intelligence staff support not only to the Secretary in
OSD but to the Chiefs. There is also another compelling reason that does not show up in any of the back-
ground as such, We were at that time limited by law to the 400 officers in the Joint Staff. Now admittedly,
when this came up, | recall writing something at the time of the Defense Reorganization Act about Chair-
man Russell and how he had all these numbers of officers. We only had 210 and we went through an exer-
cise that was like a Medieval theologian [concerning] who was in the Joint Staff and who was in the
organization of the Joint Staff. At any rate, this was seen as an opportunity to decrease, not increase the
size. It would gain spaces within the 400 officer ceiling that could be used primarily. my memory of it is.
tor J3 and JS by simply saying the ‘intelligence functions (the J2 that provided the intelligence staff sup-
port) would be provided by the Director DIA.’ It was not an issue.

ALLEN; So moving the J2 functions to DIA really was not so much a functional as it was a practical
thing?
COOKE: | think it was a practical better use of resources and it was functional in a sense that inevitably if

you are consolidating, to establish at least a level playing field. You certainly don't want an outfit advising
the Chiel's out there. Remember at the time the Joint Staff was an open staff to the JCS and a completely
closed staff to OSD.

ALLEN: The predecessor organization in JCS prior to setting up the “J” offices was the Joint Intelligence
Group. What do you recall that they did?

DIA — AT THE CREATION

Sy

Mr. McNamara's immediate establishment of DIA under the Secretary of Defense after becoming Secre-
tary of Defense was not political. 1 do not know Mr, McNamara’s motive in establishing DIA, but 1 doubt
that it was political. The original group-of-five were Eugene Fubini, Jobn Rubel. [David O.{ “Doc” Cooke,
Abbot Greenleaf, and Cyrus Vance. The major problem confronting the group of five was the opposition of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Military Services. The charge that they were given, | assume, was to come
up with an intelligence structure that made sense.

In the Office of the Secretary of Defense it was Doc Cooke and Abbot Greenleaf who master-minded DIA.
These two had more to do with DIA then anyone else. .. Then there was Eugene Fubini, Jobn Rubel, and
Admiral Vladimir Malnisky. Admiral Malinsky was another Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.
He bad a great deal of influence on Mr. McNamara. the Secretary of Defense. He did contribute to the
organization and functions of DLA. Gene Fubini was Chairman of my Scientific Advisory Committee. He
was also an Assistant Secretary Defense in charge of the National Security Agency, He decided all policy
matters which governed the Agency.

[General Earl G.| “Buzz” Wheeler [was] the Director of the Joint Staff at the time DIA was born. (He later
became Chairman of the Joint Chiets of Statf.) He exercised a good deal of influence on DIA: he was an
Army officer... .{Major] General R. Collins {was} the J-2 of the Joint Staff. He considered DIA to be a
good thing. As a member of the Joint Staff and an Army ofticer his opinion was in the decided minority. He
was unusually cooperative. He subsequently became a member of CTA working under the US Intelligence
Board's estimates shop.

[Representing] the military services was [Major General] Alva Fitch. the G-2 of the Army. Alva Fitch was
a typical military officer. When the chips were down the mission became paramount, and all bts efforts
were devoted to that end. | recall that Alva Fitch was scheduled to be Commander in Stuttgart, a three-star
position. | insisted to Mr. Gilpatric. . that Alva Fitch become my Deputy Director [Fitch was the second
Deputy Director after Lieutenant General Wifliam Quinn]. Mr. Gilpatric wanted DIA to get aff to an auspi-
cious start, so he gave me Alva Fitch. That is why the Deputy Director is a three-star position today. Nor-
mally when the commander is three-stars the deputy is only two stars.

My role in developing a DIA concept | would hope was an effective one. The DIA of today is a mach better
one than when I was Director of DIA. This means that the original Director must have done something
fight. He must have concentrated on the fundamentals of organization.

future command aviator authorizations, fiscal year 1962, and there-
after.

4. These Troop Bases, summarized by branch and grade for com-
missioned officers and MOS for warrant officers, will form the base
upon which Army aviator authorizations will be suballocated to
commands as their aviator authorization.

¢. Manning levels for aviators will continue to be announced in the
quarterly command officer manning levels, and will be based on the
Headquarters, Department of the Army approved authorizations as
outlined above.

d. Requisitions for aviation officers will be validated by Depart-
ment of the Army against the requisitioning agency’s established

Overview of the Origins of DIA (Continued)

The (ICS) therefore recommend that the Secretary of Defense support the
principle...but...specific implementing suggestions...should not be decided upon antl
a detailed study is made and submitted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff”

Meanwhile. in January 1961. the Army and Air Force Chiefs of Staff submitted their own concept
papers for the “control and coordination of military intelligence.” Since the Services held
divergent views, the JCS moved to develop a unified concept paper.

All this was soon overtaken by events because the new Secretary of Defense, Robert S.
McNamara, had already made his decision to establish a Defense Intelligence Agency. On 8
February 1961, the Secretary directed the JCS to submit within 30 days a concept for a Defense
Intelligence Agency that extensively integrated all military intelligence efforts.

The Secretary’s vision would eliminate duplication in intelligence collection. processing,
production, estimating. and publication. He also wanted to limit Service intelligence functions to
training, personnel, and support responsibilities.

Secretary McNamara wanted Service headquarters levels to have no more than a small
intelligence staff. He intended to prevent the policy and planning staff of the Joint Staff from
assuming any intelligence function that could be bandled by the new organization. Finally, the
Secretary wanted lo see a tive-phase implementation schedule and a draft Directive for the
organization’s authorization.

Upon learning the Secretary’s desires. the JCS Director of the J-2 recommended the “concept” be
prepared within the Secretary’s guidelines, but include the following provisions:

(The Director for the Agency will be a military otticer on active duty: and the
Agency will be responsible to the (ICS).

In some specific areas of intelligence activity. such as counterintelligence and
technical intelligence, it is possible that the ICS) would desire to minimize the
integration. Accordingly, the (ICS) may wish to submit a reclama on certain aspects
of the concept enunciated by the Secretary of Defense in his memorandum...

By 2 March 1961 the JCS had completed the concept paper requested by Mr. NcNamara. They
proposed a Military Intelligence Agency (MIA) to perform estimating. targeting, and basic
intelligence functions ”...in those areas where economies and increased efficiency can be
achieved.”

But the JCS reserved for the Services the continuing right “to acquire, produce, and disseminate
military intelligence and counterintelligence as required in fulfillment of their assigned
departmental missions...” Moreover. the Military Departments would continue “...those elements
of military intelligence and counterintelligence and security whicb have not been integrated into
the Military Intelligence Agency.”

The Defense Intelligence Agency will also achieve a more
efficient allocation and management of defense intelligence re-
sources as it becomes operational. The assumption of apecific
intelligence functions by DIA, however, will be on a graduated
basis with each step carefully planned and executed so as not to
degrade any existing defense intelligence capability. It probably
will take at least two years for the DIA to became fully operational.

One of the principsl recommendations of the Joint Study
Group was thet the intelligence functions of the Department be
brought into consonance with the Defense Reorganisation Act of
1938, The integration of defense intelligence activities under
DIA will, we believe, obtain this objective. Through the estab-
Ushment of DIA the Department of Defense will be able to provide
better intelligence support net only to you but also to the national
intelligence community as « whole,

dations applicable te the activities of the National Gecurity Agency,

Furthermore, I have directed General Carroll to develop all acti-

A far reaching reorganization of the National Security Agency
(NSA) was approved by me and is now being put inte effect. This will
facilitate accomplishment of the Joint Study Group recommendations
relating to that Agency, in particular those which strengthen the
control of the Directer, NSA, over Defense ELINT and cryptologic
resources. Detailed steps to implement these recommendations
are now being examined by the Director, NSA.

Overview of the Origins of DIA (Continued)

DIA — AT THE

The Commission dispatched a task force to examine the national security apparatus, especially the
intelligence network. Concerning the National Military Establishment, the Commi ion noted that
it lacked “centralized authority” which “should be placed firmly in the Secretary of Defense.”

Moreover, “...the continuance of intense interservice rivalries hampers and confuses sound policy
at many points. One of our greatest needs is to elevate military thinking to a plane above
individual service aims and ambitions.” The JCS was described as “...too remote from related
groups...” such as the National Security Council and the CIA. “...A spirit of teamwork must
govern interagency intelligence relationships.”

Wasteful duplication, personnel problems, unsatisfactory coordination, and conflicting
intelligence estimates were also singled out as “disturbing inadequacies.” The task force was

..convinced that (oo many disparate intelligence estimates have been made by the
individual departmental intelligence services; that these separate estimates have often
been subjective and biased; that the capabilities of potential enemies have frequently
been misinterpreted as to their intentions, and that a more comprehensive collection
system, better coordination and more mature experienced evaluation are imperative.

The task force suggested

...a better mechanism than now exists for coordinating the service intelligence
agencies in the Secretary’s office should be established...and that the Secretary must
be...the coordinator of intelligence and all other activities within the military
establishment.

By 1949, the Hoover Commission’s findings had helped to produce several amendments to the
1947 National Security Act, as well as the Central Intelligence Act of 1949. Somewhat better
coordination and control resulted and the intelligence responsibilities of the JCS were better
defined. But the deficiencies the Hoover Commission identified in 1948 remained essentially in
place until the Defense Intelligence Agency was established in 1961.

By 1949, the United States and the Soviet Union had commenced a vigorous competition in
development of strategic weapons ~~ including the atomic bomb (replicated by the Soviets in
1949). By the late 1950s ICBMs and space programs were also botly competed. Remote-sensing
and other technologies helped intelligence analysts complete the picture that was often left
incomplete by traditional human-source intelligence.

But each Military Department continued to do intelligence according to its needs. often
duplicating or competing against one another. There was keen competition for resources and bias
in intelligence products as each Se: sought to acquire and apply the new technologies. The
bomber gap and missile gap theories of the 1950s perhaps best illustrate the phenomenon.

In 1949 the Defense Department formed the Armed Forces Security Agency (APSA) to administer
strategic communications and intelligence functions, cryptology. code development and code
breaking. APSA also coordinated these jobs done by other Defense organizations.

The Chairman of the Jaint Chiefs of Staif
The Assistant Secretaries of Defense
The General Counsel
The Special Assistant and the Assistants
to the Secretary of Defense

SUBJECT: Establishment of a Defense Intelligence Agency

i After careful consideration of the issues and prceblems
involved, Mr. McNamara and I have decided to establish a Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) reporting to the Secretary of Defense through
the Joint Chiefe of Staff. Attached is a draft DeD Directive creating
DIA.

a, The principal objectives in establishing a DIA are to
obtain unity of effort among all components of the Department of
Defense in developing military intelligence and a etrengtheniag of
the over-all capacity of the Department of Defense for the collection,
‘production, and dissemination of intelligence information.

3. Although perhaps of lesser priority, but certainly not of
lesser importance, are the objectives of obtaining a more efficient
Allocation of scarce intelligence resources, more effective manage~
ment of all DoD intelligence activities, and the elimination of ali
duplicating facilities, organizations, and tasks.

the exercies of prudence in the implementstion of the plan in onder to
coviate thie possibility.

7. It 1a noted that the Plan for the Activation of the DIA provides for
taking over and utilizing resources of the Military Departments and/ot the
Joint Staff, wherever feasible, This approach, se it pertains to manpower
Tesources of the Military Services, is strongly concurred in. Each Bervice
is confronted with tnerenesd manpower requirements to support Joint
actlvities at the same time requirements for operational forces are
, increasing. Careful adherence to a time phasing achedule In which Service
functions are reduced, or aliminated io advance of, or concomitant with
absorption of functions by the DIA will diminish the burden on the Services
from a personnel atandpoint.

8. We recommend that you approve the broad framework of the plan
subject ta modifications whieh will:

a. Ineure a more Integrated intelligence operation in the DIA.
b. Reduce the personnel requirements of the Agency.
¢. Provide for cazeful and evolutionary transfer of elements of

the Service production bases to the Agency, and eimplify the
processing of intelligence requirements.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE

SUBJECT: FY 1963 Budget Guidelines for Defense Intalligence
Activities

My memorandum of 22 September 1961 provided tentative guidance
to the military departments and the Joint Chiefs ot Staif relative to the
pteparation of the FY 1963 budget. In the case of intelligence activities
the data contained in Program Package VI (Service Wide Support) were
insufficient for the purpose of aniving at appropriate guidance.

Jam therefore requesting you to review and evaluate the
departmental proposals within the areas of your responsibility and te
furnish your comments on these to me directly by 1 November 21961 with
an information copy to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. in your review specific
evlauation should be made of each of the noneryptologic Intelligence
slements with particular reference to the magnitude of the service
proposals in relation to current or anticipated plans of the Defense
Imelligence Agency. Although certain areas of intelligence activitles
have not as yet been definiteely assigned to the DIA (attaches, mepping
technical intelligence, and counter-intelligence), these are so closely
related to the prasantly dafined rasponsibilities that 1 feal they should
be included in your evaluation,

INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENTS DURING PRE-STRIKE PERIOD

1. It is assumed that prior to the Pre-Strike period normel intelligence
information avaiiable te the Joint Chiefs of Staff would provide an across-
the -board analysis of the world-wide activities of the Sino-Soviet Bloz.

The intelligence information should be sufficiently broad so that any
abnarmalities in Soviet-Bloc activity could be analyzed qniekly erd the
significance determined. In essence, the UIA shold provide the Jo-nt
Chiefs of Staff a timely Intelligence Estimate of the Situation «ith
particular emphasis and detail on geographics1 areas of high tension or
Vimited conflict.

2. As world tension increases, attention should focus more closely on
the operational aspects uf Ue enemy aciivily to permit assussment of
enemy intent, readiness, inminence of attack, size of farcex, and possiole
target systems to be attacked. Information, therefore, showid be provided
on the following items:

a. What is the disposition and pusture of Soviet Bloc stxategic
aireraft and missile forces? Are they in an increased alert ctatus?
Have aircraft deployed to etaging bases? Fave Soviet strateric forces
increased their everall readinoss and capability lo strike the Free
World? What is the missile refire capability?

b, Sim{lar information as above on Soviet ground, air, end sea
forees to include medium range missile and subversive (para-wilitary)
forces,

NOTE: Wherever possible in a and b above, the capabilities af Bloc
military forces should be measured in as precise terms as
Poasible. For instance, the capzbility of the MAA should
be measured in the number of weapons that could be Jaunchad
against the Pree World (sub-divided as appropriate} in
hourly time incremenis. How many of these weapons could
be expected to arrive on the Free World in houriy tine
increments? What would be the expected megatonnage?

¢. In addition to the operational items listed above, information
of a political-military nature must be provided to asaist decision
makers in determining whether the Soviet Union is pursuing pohitical
courses of action that sumpert an intent to engage in general war;

$.e., instructions toe the civil population; frequent politico-military
conference a.

ERVIEW EXCERPTS WITH
DAVID O. COOKE
4APRIL 1995

By Deane J. Aflen

ALLEN: The National Security Act of 1947 marked the beginning of the centralization of a number of
functions within DoD including the intelligence activities. By 1958, the Defense Reorganization Act
sought to streamline the chain of command, again impacting on Defense intelligence. Since you served on
the committee that did the initial planning in the spring of 1961, and oversaw the setting up of DIA. would
you conunent on some of the thinking that occurred at this time? Particularly would you comment on the
formation of DIA. including the movement of the JCS J-2 fanctions to DIA in 19637

COOKE: Well, the 1958 Defense Reorganization Act only did one thing that bad to be done by statute. It
raised the statutory ceiling of the Joint Staff trom 241) to 400, Other than that there was nothing in the 1958
Act which really couldn't have been done prior to that time. Moreover, there were several chunges to the
1949 amendments to the National Security Act and which lead, of course. to the onset of Goldwater

Nichols in 1985. [t was simply a matter, you could argue, that the 1958 Act reaflirmed the congressional
intent which had been expressed in the '47 National Security Act and the 1949 amendment. When Bob
McNamara assumed office |20 Jan 61], however. he had certain conceptions of what he had to do.

Prior to his taking office, | was part of a team that briefed McNamara and Cy[rus] Vance, who incidentally
was the general council at the time, on Defense organization and management. MeNamara had asked the
question, “Who in the Office of the Secretary of Detense looks after and advises the Secretary on manage-
ment and organization problems?” Our answer was that the Secretaries of the past bad essentially handled
the problems ad hoc as they came up. For example. T had been a representative of the Navy on {Secretary of
Defense} McELroy's taskforce on Defense reorganization which lead to the 1958 act. That consequence {
think lead McNamara to establishing a small office known as Organization on Management Plasning. bici-
dentally, he picked the tile for that because we subsequently discovered that during his meteoric rise in the
Ford Motor Company; at one time he held the title of a small office known as Organization on Manage-
ment Planning.

Organization management planning was assigned to this new office through the General Council. Cy
Vance's small office consisted of three uniformed military by-name requests: Jack Cashman, now a retired
Marine three-star, Abbot Greenleaf, also a reuired Air Force three-star, and me from the Nay
never made three stars. | retired as a captain and took over a lot of things as a civilian. Of the three of us,
even though we wi ck-of-all-trades, Abbot probably concentrated a little more at the ume in the intelli-
gence area. It was more than Jack Cushman or I could cover because McNamara came up with a list. He
started out with some 59 tasks and expanded it. Many of the tasks were major organizational changes. For
example, the Defense Supply Agency. expanding the Defense Communications Agency. and, of course,
DIA, the subject of the interview this moming.

The feeling on DIA, and T think J can speak for McNamara on this, was that there was a curious correlation
between the requests of the three military departments and their intelligence assessments so that the jntelli-
gence assessments always supported or dovetailed witb the resources. McNamara was concerned that per
haps the analysis, intelligence analysis, was shaded to the view of what the Service chiefs and the Service
secretaries wanted. It was primarily through the chiefs [the civilian secretary of the military departments

DIA — AT THE CREATION

INTERVIEW EXCERPTS WITH
LYMAN B. KIRKPATRICK, JR
13 JUNE 1986

By Deane J. Aflea

ALLEN: In view of the role you played as Chairman of the Joint Study Group commissioned by President
Dwight Eisenhower in May 1960 to study U.S. intelligence and the milestone the Joint Study Group
Report established in the chain of events that led to the establishment of DIA 1961, the following questions
are significant. First, when the DIA was established in 1961, why didn't CIA take on the responsibilities
that were given to DIA?

KIRKPATRICK: Well, let me say that there were two schools of thought. One wanted the CIA to control
all of intelligence in the United States Government. The other school, of which 1 was a member. said that
you cannot take intelligence away from the military. It has to be built-in because in time of war they have
got to have it— they cannot create it instantly, We have tried that frequently in our past wars.

The battle raged on for years over this issue —~ from 1947 to 1961 — before the second philosophy tinally
prevailed. The whole point was this. Having been in Army Intelligence in World War IT as well as the OSS. I
have seen it happen when you simply had to build from the start. We got into World War I with a really
flimsy intelligence system that had to be built during wartime. There was a group of us who said. “you got to
let Defense have their own intelligence system; CIA cannot control it.” There were even some clowns ~~
ase the phrase freely because they were clowns — who felt that CIA also ought to take over cryptographic
work, which they can not. Crypto intelligence is something that is quite different. T don't think you can put
[for example] HUMINT together with anything Jike that.

So [think the way it evolved tarned out for the best. We've got the Defense Intelligence Agency, and we've
got the military intelligence services. On the other hand, I have seen tendencies where DIA has tried tu take
over the bulk of military intelligence —that is a mistake too. Army, Navy, Air Force. Marine Corps, and
even the Coast Guard. all have to fight their own wars. They cannot build it in wartime; they are going to
have to have a cadre of trained officers.

So basically this was the philosophy. The bureaucratic batles went on intensively, until this was done [DIA
established] —~ and I mean intensively.

ALLEN: Various writers have ascribed the beginnings of DIA to such things as a post-Sputnik or a post-
Bay of Pigs spin-off, and reactions to these by the President, Congress, or others. I see no evidence of DIA
coming into being for these reasons. Instead, 1 see the impetus for consolidating Defense intelligence
beginning in the post-WWIl era, particularly in 1953 when an Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Spe-
cial Operations served as a coordination point for defense intelligence activities. Following various Con-
gressional actions in the 1950°s —-including the 1955 Hoover Commission report and the 1958 Defense
Reorganization Act — the concept for centralized management of DoD intelligence continued to grow until
President Eisenhower chartered the Joint Study Group in {960 to review and revamp U.S. foreign intelli-
gence. However. the actual idea of putting it all together, of being a centralized agency for DoD that man-
aged all DoD intelligence — did that start with your Group or was that notion something that had been
growing for some time?

Staff, General Maxwell Taylor, This was just following the Cuban Missile Crisis. 1 found that in the
meantime this gleam in the eye that Eisenhower and his associates had at the very close of his
administration had become a reality. The first evidence of that I recafl was the morning brieting that we had
in the Chairman's office on some of the intelligence take, particularly the overhead photography relating to
Cuba and to other very sensitive areas where we were watching closely what the Soviets were doing. Tt is
worth a moment perhaps to recall the challenges to security that existed al that ime. I will do this very
briefly bot I do this because | think that it is something you might want to reflect epon and talk. about today
and during the remainder of your discussions here.

You really have to look at the substantive needs and the evolution of those needs. They are dynamic. New
things occur. new situations arise. It is a Jook at that substantive requirement that tends to guide and shape
the needs of the future for DIA and that tell you in what direction to lean as you are mobilizing and
focusing and targeting your resources. f want to come back to this point close to the ead of my remarks. |
myself find it useful in analyzing these challenges to break them down under three general headings.

At the time we tended to Jump together the Soviet Union and Communist China. | don’t think we had
discerned from 195& on the tensions that were building up between Communist China and the Soviet
Union. Though | do recall when Khrushchev met with Eisenhower ap at Camp David that he was very
careful in his treatment of any issue that involved Communist China--it was extremely delicate. He simply
vould not be drawn into certain discussions because the Chinese would be very resentful of him and
Eisenhower talking over these issues over his head. But at the time, as 1 said. we did tend to lump the
Soviet Union and Communist C and of course the prime focus of much of our intelligence activity bad
to be on the Soviet Union.

They were in a very assertive and to some degree an unstable period. They had a great deal of confidence,
even overconfidence after they put up Sputnik and saw some of the disarray from the western world after
they had been the first in space. You had Khrushchev as the feader, a tough, very astate. really quite
brilliant, very volatile, almost voleanic type of individual presiding over a oulitary force which
increasingly had as its lead the intercontinental ballistic missile, and be was brandishing that at various
times using that for purposes of threat. So it was a dangerous period largely because of this lack of
stability. We had just been through the pressures on Berlin. which were eased after the Camp David
summit in which {Khrushchev} undertook to remove the threat that was implicit in whut amounted to an
ultimatum that they were going to give the East Germans their independence and thus terminate the rights
of the western allies in West Berlin, and which, of course. was intolerable and unacceptable front our
standpoint. That was left unresolved after the summit that blew up in Paris in 1960 after the U2 affair, and
President Kennedy inherited the full force of that when he met with Khrushchev in Vienna in 1961. Then
came, of course. at the close of 1962, the Cuban missile crisis in which very close intelligence on the
activities of the Soviets was very much needed. During all of this the JCBM build-up and their submarine
ballistic missile build-up were continuing. These constituted major challenges which simply could not be
left uncontested, not properly compensated for on the part of the West.

The second general area of challenge, and it is a different kind of challenge, has to do with our major allies.
Here the main task was of finding ways to work cooperatively in every field including the ittelligence field,
That turned out to be about the most difficult field to work in cooperation with our major allies. Because
they too were concerned about the Soviet Union and about Communist China and they, fike us, were
greatly involved with the third major area in what came to be called the third world where Khrushchev had
laid down the doctrine that the Soviets would continue to press forward with what he called just wars of
national fiberation but looked to us like subversion and attempted takeover of country after country. That

The establishment of CIA and the difficulties it had with the Military Departments had nothing to do with
the establishment of DLA. The establishment of NSA had nothing to do with the establishment of DIA.
(NSA was established some years before.) NSA met the unanimous approval of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and the Military Services. On the other hand, DLA met with the unanimous disapproval of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff und the Military Services. The objection of the Services to DIA was self-serving. They were
indeed retuctant to give up resources. They were. of course, concerned with strategic as well as tactical
intelligence. 1 know of no other reason for their concern.

J cannot provide any input concerning the Joint Service actions during the spring of 1961.1 would assume
that the {Services} were preparing arguments against the proposed organization and perhaps testing them.

General [Lyman L.} Lemmitzer was a brilliant strategist. He did not take a position lightly. General Lem-
nitzer undoubtedly figured that the Military Services would raise so much hell that DIA would fall by the
wayside: that it would fail. [ recalf going to see General Lemnitzer and telling him that { needed a "papi
one that would stand up for me when the Joint Chiets of Staff were taking out their frustrations on me
because DIA had been pushed down their throats. I recall telling General Lemmitzer that he was that man.
by virtue of being the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the alter ego of Mr. McNamara. the Secre-
tary of Defense. So far as | have described General Lemnitzer’s reaction to DIA, it was somewhat concep-
tual, He was indeed reflecting the position and protecting the interests of the Services.

The grand design of DIA as it was first presented to me was to render intelligence support to the Joint
Chiet's of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, and also to the Military Services. From the outset we ren-
dered intelligence support to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In my day, we kept
especially close relations with the intelligence chiefs because we rendered support to the Military Services
through the intelligence chiefs,

There were no options considered other than a DIA-like organization. Strengthening the Office of Special
Operations might have worked but not as well as an independent organization. Strengthening the J-2 of the
Joint Staff would not have worked so long as the military controlled the intelligence functions. Mr.
McNamara . .. envisioned a DIA that would soon earn the respect of the entire intelligence community. He
wanted DIA to be totally objective, | know because he frequently told me so.

When | became director of DIA, I was told to find enough money and space to get started. Among the
space I found is the present Director's office [in the Pentagon]. It had a bathroom in the corner of the office
which is a symbol of prestige in Government. It used to belong to Mr. Paul Nitze, Presidential arms negoti-
ator on missiles in Europe. As to money, I was more fortunate. The Services allocated me enough money to
pay the salaries of the very few people the Services assigned to DIA and attendant operations. The first
thing we took over was current intelligence. This meant that in refurbishing the area, we wound up with a
few adjustments that had to be made, We had enough money to pay for these adjustments. T had started
agencies before in the Government. All I can say is that when you are told to find enough space and money
to get started, it means just that. From then on. you are on your own,

Mr. McNamara was primarily responsible for the establishment of DEA. None of the commissions or stud-
ies stand out in my mind as having promoted or effected the concept of a centralized Defense intelligence
authority. There was 50 prominent doctrine or philosophy associated or promulgated by military intefli-
gence prior to the establishment of DIA that affected this situation.

in vorking out the detailed plane for a consolidated Intelligence Production
Center, they have been in continuows contact with wembers of the Assistant
Chief of Staff, Intelligence and other concerned elements of the Department
of the Air Force staff, Many agreements pertaining to the implementation
of the DIA Production Center: Plan have been consummated and are reflected
in the DIA Production Center Detailed Flam dated 15 Auguat 1962. However,
dnasswch af the agreesents pertaining to provision of diseenination support

DIA — AT THE CREATION

KIRKPATRICK: It was growing. | wouldn't want to give the Joint Study Group credit for that. We Jaid
down concepts basically in our final report which | had been anxious to get out on time. We bad a certain
deadline. | wanted to get it in before the Administration ended, so I worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week.
We finally did get it in. | would be the last to maintain that it was the Joint Study Group {that proposed
what became DIA].

On the study group, we were always unanimous even though there were certain very basic disagreements.
For example, Alan Evans was the State Department representative. Alan and I were old-time colleagues
from the Office of Strategic Services days. Boy! He and I had some of the really very tough knockdown
drag-out fights about State’s role in intelligence. They were selling out by wanting to keep just a small
cadre, which basically T thought was a terrible mistake. They should have. in my opinion, kept their own
[intelligence organization]. But to use a basic expression, they didn't have the guts to fight for it, and they
didn't have the political clout that CIA had. I remember. it was not Alan but it was another State Depart-
ment Director of INR that said to me. "Gee, | wish we had what CIA has got with Congress: State is
always wrong as far as Congress is concerned.” Let me add a parenthesis here for future thought {concern-
ing the importance of CLA having political clout]. The Director of CLA has to be close to the President.
This is the way it always has to be. I think if the President doesn't like intelligence, doesn't understand
intelligence. then we got troubles — troubles in our policies, troubles in our actions, and everything else.

ALLEN: Was the fact that the military services had so many of the resources in 1961 a big factor in setting
up DIA?

KIRKPATRICK: Well, the fact that the military services had all of the resources certainly was a consider-
ation, yes. All they had to do was assign their people and if they were interested in it they would do it.

t, The Natianal Security Council actian on the recommenda-
flope of the Jolat Study Group on Forniga Intelligence Activilies of the
United Stataa Govaramant requirea the Department of Defanua to sftect
a wide variety of organisational ang procedural changes in its military
intalligence activities. The full ecopa of these changes ia 40 broad
that their implementation will require a positive response on the part of
almost avary major organizational entity in the Department of Defenae.

2. Iappeare that the moet effective mesa to accomplich the

National Security Agency, the intelligence and counter intelligence
fanctichs now handled by the military departnenté, and the responel-
bilities of the Office of the Assiptant to the Secretary, Spaciel
Operations. The Defense Intelligence Agency would serwice all cons
sumers of military inteLiigence ia the Department of Delense and cther
governmont agencies aud would provide representatives to United
States Intelligence Board subcommittees.

3. Accordingly, the Joint Chlefe of Staff are requested to eub-
wait to me within 30 deye a concept for such an integrated defense
fatelligence agency, a draft DoD directive fur its authorisation, and
& time-phased implementation echedule. | cannct ermphasiae too
ateougly the priority nature of (his project. tn the development of
these requirements, close attention ehould be given to military depert-
smental policies, DoD directives, and other established procedures
which may have to be changed te accommodate the establishment of
Defoase Intelligence Ageacy ad full implementation of the approved
recommendations of the Joint Study Group report.

4. Upon spproval of the concept and plan of » Defenses

DIA — AT THE CREATION

Use of “Military” instead of “Defense” by the JCS was intentional. The Joint Chiefs viewed the
status and role of the new agency as military. A lengthy debate ensued over the name until
Secretary McNamara insisted on using “Defense.”

The deal was done. On 5 July 1961, the Secretary of Defense approved the DIA concept. On

1 August 1961, the Department of Defense announced that the Defense Intelligence Agency had
been established. DIA became operational on | October 1961 upon approval of the new Agency’s

é Koy ‘| DIA — AT THE CREATION
On 4 November 1952 AFSA became the National Security Agency (NSA) by classified
Presidential directive. NSA assumed AFSA’s duties. It seemed the model of a jointly manned.
centralized Defense intelligence activity had finally been established.

By 1952. interservice rivalry over the control of targeting intelligence grew so intense, even the
JCS had to intervene. The Air Force Chief of Staff reportedly proposed to his colleagues that if the
Services could not agree on the control of intelligence, perhaps all intelligence activities should be
pooled and given to the Secretary of Defense to manage.

In 1953 limited central control of intelligence emerged when the Secretary of Defense hired a new
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Special Operations. Among other things, the new
Assistant was expected to review the planning and programming of the Services’ intelligence
components, develop Defense positions on intelligence problems, provide intelligence staff
support to the Secretary of Defense in his role as a member of the National Security Council, and
improve coordination within the Defense intelligence community.

The office of the Secretary's Assistant for Special Operations did not produce intelligence. of
course. I( mainly coordinated Defense intelligence and provided intelligence community liaison.
It had no authority to manage Defense intelligence resources — a dilemma later faced by DIA.

The JIG, the small intelligence staff of the Joint Chiefs. could not effectively coordinate Service
intelligence efforts either. As a result, several problems developed:

Each Service prepared its own estimate of the threat to U.S. security. These estimates
were often self-serving because they supported the Service's positions on roles,
missions, and weapon systems.

There was considerable duplication of effort — not only in what was being produced
-~- but also in the collection area.

Neither the JCS nor the Secretary of Defense had an accurate picture regarding the
total allocation of military intelligence resources.

In 1955 President Dwight D. Eisenhower created another commission headed by former President
Hoover to evaluate Government efficiency. A commission task force looked at the 22 Government
agencies directly or indirectly engaged in intelligence “in one form or another.”

The intelligence portion of the Commission's report received much Congressional attention. The
report warned of the need to collect more intelligence information about Russia, het satellites, and
Communist China.

The report also noted the “apparent lack of accountability” in the intelligence community and the
need for better organization. The report concluded,

We present herewith the report of the Joint Study Group
on Foreign Intelligence Activities of the United States Govern-
ment, In conducting this study we have been guided by the
attached terms of reference. We would note, however, that
we inevitably came across matters of national security interest
in the foreign intelligence field not specifically covered in the
terms of reference and that we felt obligated to comment on
these.

In preparing this report we have carnestly endeavored
to consider what is best for the nation. In submitting the
report we recognize that in the time allotted it was impossible
to cover in detail the vast foreign intelligence effort of the
United States Government, but we have endeavored to identify

the major problem areas and have recommended solutions.

DIA — AT THE CREATION

FORWARD

During its first year. the Agency faced two issues that became icons of the Cold War. the building
of the Berlin Wall and the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. Before the decade had ended.
rumblings from around the globe embroiled the Agency in providing intelligence support to
operational forces in Vietnam as wel] as crises in the Middle East, Latin America. Atrica, Eastern
durope, and Asia. An extensive customer list ranged from the national-level policymaker to the
wartighter. Concerns also included a wide array of other security issues such as arms contro},
building databases. and indications and warning systems. As DIA sought to take its place within
the Intelligence Community in 1961 as a credible producer of foreign military intelligence. the
necessity for a comprehensive and well-detined organization to meet these challenges was a
challenge in itself.

Now in its 40th anniversary year. the organization has withstood the tests of many challenges and
changes. It has steadfastly built a reputation for excellence by providing timely, accurate Defense
intelligence of the highest quality. However, in the wake of the Cold War, an emerging global
security environment very different from that of the last half of the previous century has required
the Agency to reexamine its ability to respond as well as reshape its intelligence capability. The
transition has focused on preparing for the asymmetrical threat--underscored by the [1
September 2001 attack on the Pentagon in Washington and the World Trade Center towers in New
York, improving databases, enhancing interoperability. and revitalizing the workforce as a means
of meeting future demands. These efforts utilize an understanding of the origins of the
organization and its past successes. Such knowledge is the catalyst for conducting these changes.

Society today relies heavily on the flow of accurate and timely information. Although the
documents enclosed in this introductory volume are not, in light of their sensitive nature. timely.
they do serve as a critical guide to the origins of DIA. Moreover, in accordance with Executive
Order 12958. DIA has an obligation to organize and publicize formally classitied documents. As
you will see from reading this volume, the rationale and arguments for the creation of a Defense
Mntelligence Agency in 1961 are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.

Many assisted in writing. editing and producing this complex volume. Sandra L. Eger, Specialist
Corey Jensen, USAR. Lieutenant Colonel Holly A. Mayer. USAR. and Mirlin S. Toomer,
prepared many of the documents. Captain Michael S. Borders, USAR and Curtis A. Utz.
performed document research. Colonel Ronald Lutz, USAR, and Colonel Jonathan G, Mark,
USAER, edited and worked on preparing the layout of the book. Starr Lopaze and Bill Downey in
the Publications Division helped ready the manuscript for printing. Brian G. Shellum researched
documents, edited. and worked on the final layout of the book. As the principal researcher, writer,
and editor, I began collecting and declassitying documents for this project in the late 1980s. It is
gratifying to finally see the publication of this worthwhile edition of basic DIA origination
documents.

was part of the issue. and the other part of the issue had to do with indigenous developments which then as
now constituted danger and threat or potential danger and threat to the security interests of the United
States and its major allies.

We were particularly concerned then, and [ am speaking of the early time of President Kennedy's term of
office, with the rapidly disintegrating situation in Laos and Vietnam. When Eisenhower met with Kennedy
after Kennedy's election but before his inauguration, Laos was one of the items on that agenda, and its
significance was not just in Laos but what it portended for Vietnam as well. So that was an unresolved issue
and a worsening issue which Eisenhower passed to Kennedy. and it became very necessary then to try to get
some kind of intelligence base as our involvement in Vietnam grew and finally just to carry on a few years
[longer] as we ourselves intervened with substantial military force there. There were other ar uch as the
Congo, again a highly unstable and confused situation, [There were] other special areas of difficulties, such
as the continuing tension and stress between India and Pakistan, and late in 1962 the actual military
operations of the Communist Chinese against the Indians in the Himalayan mountain areas. Those were
some of the substantive areas that were of great concem at the ime, and obviously without good intelligence
you would simply be flying blind trying to make operational decisions in circumstances of that kind.

When I came back to the States in late ‘62, | found that DIA existed and was operating effectively. | would
like to pay tribute at thiy point to a man T understand will not be with us here--I wish he could be--and that
is Joe Carroll, who guided DIA through that very difficult early period. He and I were closely associated
because of my position as Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at that time. If ever a man had to
walk through a mine field blindfolded it was Joe Carroll, and he did that with courage. with constant
resolution and with great patience. and with clear explanation of what it was he was trying to do and the
role into which DIA was moving. It was a tough job, and be made an outstanding contribution in an area of
extreme sensitivity, and DIA began to build its record of service and contribution at that time.

One of the things I worked on very closely was identifying and prioritizing intelligence targets: those of
chief concern from a standpoint of national security. We had to do this both in terms of short-term interest
and long-term interest and we had to consider very closely where to put our resources. Resources are
always limited but there is always more to do than you can, and the essence of leadership, one of the first
requirements of leadership is simply to be willing to take on that tough task of prioritizing.

If you will permit me another personal word here. At the very close of World War IL, f was back from
overseas and I served in the Pentagon in strategic plans in the operations division under General Marshall.
It didn't take long to come to admire that man for his strength of character, for his willingness to make
decisions, and as I reviewed what had been done during the war that admiration grew and solidified. In
those very tough days of the war in early and mid 1942 when things were going wrong everywhere,
Marshall was one of the figures responsible for laying down what we called basic undertakings: things
without which the war was unlikely to be won. It was a short fist, and had to be a short list. because we
were on our heels, we were on the defensive just about everywhere. He was willing to make the decisions
as to what those very essential things were. They were, for example. keep the Russians in the war, maintain
the UK base, hold the Suez, [and] hold Australia as a base. | think that was the full list, there might have
been one or two others. But notice, and this is the point 1 am getting at. in making a determination, in
deciding what to do he was at the same time deciding what not to do. There were many desirable, many
worthwhile things. that we were simply unable to do, and he was a man who had the inner strength to step
up to those decisions, not to try to do everything, which would have been self deteating at the time.

There is a lesson in that. and [ think a very important lesson in the intelligence field; and Joe Carroll and I
worked together to try to drive through that first determination of identifying the outstanding. real

Group had the opportunity to solicit views on the major pro-
posals incorporated in this report,

The Joint Study Group has made a conscientious effort
to meet as a body each time so that all members would have
the benefit of hearing the same presentations. Each of the
members contributed at least one staff assistant to the Group
who indispensably assisted in arranging meetings, doing re-
search and drafting and redrafting many sections to expedite
the preparation of this report.

The Joint Study Group has tried to examine the problems
of the intelligence community from a national point of view
without reference to personalities or parochial interests, Within
this over-all approach it has made every effort fully to appre-
ciate departmental interests in the fields of intelligence collection,
Processing and production. We have endeavored to understand
the history and evolution of U. S, foreign intelligence activities,
and have found in this history both advantageous and disadvanta-

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY

SUBJECT: Security Claseification of Peseonnel and Budgetary Data
Concerning Certain Intelligence Activities

Questions have been raised regarding the validity of the security
classification placed upon the total personnel and dollars agsociated
with the budget requests for DIA and NSA. The figures for DIA were
classified Confidential and those for NSA Secret.

In explaining to the Appropriations Commniitees in the hearings on
the record the transfer of funding for NSA from the Army appropriation
accounts to the Defence agenclos accounts it Is possible by deduction to
ascertain the approximate arnount of money dor NSA, The question,
therefore, ia whether in the presentations to the Appropriations
Committees there ia in fact a compromise of sacurity.

Reference is made to Pablic Law 56-36 approved May 29, 1959
which states under Section 6. {ak “Except as provided in subsection
{b} of this section, nothing in this Act or any other law {including but not
limited to the first aection and section 2 of the Act of August 28, 1935
{5 U.S.C. 654)) shall be construed to require the disclosure of the
organization or any function of the National Security Agency, of any
information with respect to the activities thereof, or of the names, titles,
ealaries or number of persons employed by such agency."

it would appear, therefore, that the classification placed on
information of the type mentioned above fe discretiomry with NSA, but
on the other hand, having exercised their discretion it cannot be
challenged. NSA has indicated that they da not believe security has heen
compromised in the presentations to the Appropriations Committees even
though one might by deduction arrive at an approximate order of maguitude
of dollars in the Defense agencies appropriation accounta for NSA. In
view of thie, it doea not appear necessary to hold up the publication and
distribution of the House Appropriations Committee hearings.

The DSSCS will provide the necessary communications, rclay,
and terminal facilities fox the transmission and handling of COMINT and
ELINT intercept information, intelligence information based on COMINT,
“critical intelligence"' messages, other communications whose handing
requires specialized security procedures, and private communications
of senior Defense officials. The appropriate communications clemonts
of the DSSCS will be a part of the Defenss Communications System (DCS).
In the interim and pending development of a wholly-integrated system,
‘the DSSCS will consist of: (1) the CRITICOMM network, inclidiag its
various subsidiary networks, and (2} a Special Intelligence Communications
{SPINT COMM) network.

DIA — AT THE CREATION

OVERVIEW OF THE ORIGINS OF DIA

In July 1961 Secretary of Defense Robert $. McNamara decided to establish a central Defense
intelligence organization to correct Jongstanding problems in military intelligence. Even more.
Mr. McNamara wanted to depart from the past by centralizing the traditional ways military
intelligence was done throughout United States history.

From the end of World War II until the opening of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in
October 1961. management inefficiency and poor quality products afflicted much of U.S. military
intelligence. New operations, organizations and leadership were top priorities of Mr. McNamara
and the newly arrived Kennedy administration.

Regret over failure to warn U.S. forces of the December 7th, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor fueled
the long and difficult search for a centrally managed intelligence system. The next few paragraphs
outline the portion of that search that produced the DIA. The basic documents of the DIA, which
are collected in this publication, contain most of the important details.

Some have claimed that the DIA owes its existence to the post-Sputnik “missile gap” debate of
the late 1950's. The debate was over the politically loaded question of whether the U.S. had fallen
behind the Soviet Union in fielding large. intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The missile gap debate did not alone produce DIA. DIA was created to be the central. efficient
Defense intelligence authority. It would closely monitor changing political. military, and social
conditions overseas. It would respond effectively to intelligence requirements with intelligence
collection, production. and resources.

One of the earliest U.S. examples of formal military intelligence cooperation was the Joint
Intelligence Committee (JIC). created in 1941 as a coordinating mechanism of the fledgling Joint
Chiets of Staff (JCS) organization. The JIC was comprised of the directors and representatives of
the intelligence organs of the Army. the Navy, the State Department, the Board of Economic
Warfare, and the Coordinator of Information (COD.

In June 1942 the COI was renamed the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) by President Franklin
Roosevelt. The OSS produced reliable, integrated, national intelligence information during the
war, but was hampered by competition with the Military Services. When the OSS leader Major
General William Donovan proposed that the President establish an independent intelligence
agency responding directly to him, this was opposed by the Services.

After the war President Harry S. Truman disbanded the OSS. The Services and the State
Department retained autonomy over their intelligence functions because each had independent
needs. They allowed, however, that greater coordination was necessary.

In January 1946 President Truman established the Central Intelligence Group (CIG) for the
coordination, planning. evaluation and dissemination of intelligence. The CIG’s budget and staff

ERVIEWS

The following interviews were conducted with individuals in key positions who were eyewitnesses to the
creation and establishment of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

General Andrew J. Goodpaster, USA, served an assistant to the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1961 and
was present for many of the discussions that ultimately led to a DIA. During the mid-1950s, he served as
the Staff Secretary in the White House to President Eisenhower with a second duty as his operations
assistant in the area of international affairs and intelligence. He spoke during a DIA 25th Anniversary
Panel about the origins of the Agency.

Lyman B. Kirkpatrick. Jr, was a former Inspector General of CIA and the Chairman of the Joint Study
Group commissioned by President Dwight Eisenhower in May 1960 to study U.S. intelligence. The Joint
Study Group Report recognized the need for reorganizing intelligence in the Defense Department and
created momentum for the establishment of DIA in 1961. Mr. Kirkpatrick died in 1995,

David O. Cooke was involved in Defense management since 1958 when he was a member of Secretary of
Defense Neil H. McElroy’s task foree on DoD reorganizations. He was a member and then Director of the
Office of Organizational and Management Planning which spearheaded the sweeping changes in Defense
organization during Secretary McNamara’s years and worked for every Secretary until his death in 2002.

Lieutenant General Abbott C. Greenleaf, USAF, served with David O. Cooke as a member of the Office of
Organizational and Management Planning which guided the changes in Defense Department organization
during the McNamara years. General Greenleaf spoke on the origins of DIA during a 35th Anniversary
Program at the Agency. General Greenleaf died in 2002.

Lieutenant General Joseph F. Carroll, USAF, served as the first Director. DIA, during the first critical years
of the Agency’s existence. He established DIA and served 8 years at its head. the longest serving Director
in the Agency’s history. General Carroll made his comments on the early days of the Agency to the DIA
Historian. General Carroll died in 1991.

Deane J. Allen is the DIA Historian and has served in that capacity since 1981.

Brian G. Shellum is the Deputy DIA Historian and has served in that position since 1994.

Overview of the Origins of DLA (Continued)

DIA — AT THE CREATION

Now, at the Nation’s highest level of intelligence deliberation the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Army,
Navy. and Air Force, the Department of State, Central Intelligence Agency, Atomic Energy
Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, all had equal representation.

But the USIB’s procedures frequently required the Secretary of Defense to review the dissenting
opinions of the Service intelligence chiefs to achieve a consensus. The perpetual question, “Who
speaks for Defense?” remained as before.

The argument for centralized Defense intelligence grew even stronger in 1958. Secretary of
Defense Thomas S. Gates underscored the urgency for Defense intelligence reform by noting that
intelligence requirements of the Unitied and Specified Commands. the JCS, and the Office of the
Secretary of Defense had increased substantially.

By 1959 the Defense Department was seeking to put its house in order. The Secretary directed the
JCS to study the intelligence requirements of the Military Departments to identify for elimination
any duplication and establish the priority of those that remained.

Under the chairmanship of the Chief of Plans, J-2, a Joint Chiefs of Staff/Military Departments
Task Force began work in December 1959. The Task Force determined, in part, that 37 separate
intelligence products, all addressing substantially the same information but for different
consumers, could not be justified. But before any remedies could be proposed by the JCS, the
issue was placed out of reach of the JCS.

On 6 May 1960, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Central Intelligence, the Director of the
Bureau of the Budget, the Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the
President's Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities decided to establish a new and
major Joint Study Group (JSG).

Lyman Kirkpatrick, formerly CIA Inspector General, chaired the Study Group. President
Eisenhower appointed the members. They focused on fully revamping U.S. foreign intelligence.
Of special concern to the JSG was military intelligence coordination:

United States intelligence must be a community effort in fact as well as name, which
means that effective coordination of intelligence as a truly national effort must be
achieved. By far the preponderant part of U.S. intelligence in terms of manpower and
money is that undertaken by the Department of Defense. Great strides toward a more
closely integrated community would result {rom improved intelligence coordination
within the Department.

The Final Report of the JSG proposed a new intelligence organization with broad powers over the
intelligence programs and activities of Defense components. The “Defense Intelligence Agency”
was thus conceived. The JSG even considered recommending eliminating the Service’s
intelligence programs.

Overview of the Origins of DIA (Continued)

DIA — AT THE CREATION

It has been suggested...to establish one intelligence service for the whole Department,
reporting directly to the Secretary of Defense. Although this proposal has considerable
merit, it is our view that on balance it would be unwise to attempt such an integration of
intelligence activities so long as there are three Military Services having specialized skills
and knowledge.

Nonetheless, intelligence management within the Department must be organized in such a
way as to provide adequately for intelligence as a coordinated system of highest priority...
(T)here is need to establish and maintain cognizance of the over-all program in terms of
resources of manpower and money allocated, and to eliminate waste, duplication, and
inefficiency. For this there should be an authoritative focal point within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense. which should also be the primary point of contact with the rest of
the community.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff reacted strongly to several of the 43 recommendations in the JSG final
report. Particularly unpalatable were portions:

..requiring the Joint Chiefs of Staff to coordinate the intelligence views on substantive
intelligence matters within the Department of Defense. notably for estimates

. requiring the Joint Chiefs of Staff to coordinate the intelligence activities of the unified
and specified commands and be the primary channel to these commands for guidance and
direction of intelligence matters originating with the Department of Defense...

The JCS also objected to the resource guidance of the JSG, implying that no additional funding
would be available to establish and operate the new Defense intelligence “authority.”

And the JCS seemed especially vexed that that the members of the JSG apparently wanted to
empower the Unified commanders at the expense of the JCS:

Unitied commanders should exercise control and command over the intelligence activities
of their component commands and be the primary channel to them for guidance and
direction (emphasis added) on intelligence matters including any instructions that
originate in the Service departments.”

On 30 December 1960, the Joint Chiefs of Staff responded to the Secretary of Defense:

The (JCS) are gravely concerned over the far-reaching impact...of
certain...recommendations...on the entire structure, operational methods and effectiveness
of the military intelligence activities of the various elements of the Department of
Defense.

The (JCS) agree that the military intelligence organization within the Department should
be brought into full consonance with the concept of the Reorganization Act of 1958. The
nature, timing, and scope of actions that are required to realize this should. of course, be
the result of careful planning and of an evolutionary process...

INTERVIEW EXCERPTS WITH
T GENERAL JOSEPH F. CARROLL, USAF (RET)
1991

LIEUTEN.

By Deane J. Allen
Compiled by Brian G. Sheflum

ALLEN: Let's start with when you first were appointed Director. that is, Director Designate. and in charge
of planning the organization. It would have been during the summer of 1961...

CARROLL: Yes, [do [remember]. Problems were fundamentally the opposition of the Military Services Lo
the operation: the Services were [obstinate | about it

ALLEN: What kind of organization were you trying wo design? What did you have in mind? Were you
given some idea from Mr. {Robert S.} McNamara or Mr. [Roswell L.| Gilpatric?

CARROLL: Na.

ALLEN: Before functions from the intelligence organizations of the Air Force, Army. and Navy came
together as DIA. the products were poor: thus, DIA was established to give a better product. When you
organized DIA, what did you build into the organization to improve these products?

CARROLL: Well, [ tried to improve the products because there was an obvious requirement to make
improvements. | recall that | was not even aware that the Hoover Commission in 1948 and again in 1955
recommended a DIA.

I did not personally have any role or input to the Joint Study Group nor make any contributions to them
directly. | did not read the Joint Study Group report either at the tune or since, consequently f cannot com-
ment on its significance, thoroughness, or accuracy. | know that it is customary to read the report of an
activity that is responsible for your agency, but | did not have the time.

{ know nothing about the so-called maladies of post-World War II intelligence, but as for the quality of
inteVigence products I personally believe certain Military Services were too parochial in their intelligence
opinions, The problem was the appropriation dollar. [Yet] ] was optimistic about the centralization of intel-
ligence in DIA because Mr. McNamara — well it was bis idea-—~ was most supportive of the new Agency.
The Military Services were adamant in not changing their intelligence opinion.

The Military Services would seize upon everything and anything that would support their intelligence
view, That is why I took the position that individual intelligence chiefs should retain their membership on
the United States Intelligence Board. That is why the individual intelligence chiefs are members of the
United States Intelligence Board, even today, [The USIB is now called the National Foreign Intelligence
Board (NFIB).] Mr. [John A.J McCone, the Director of CIA, supported me in this position. That is why the
Joint Chiefs extended me for six whole years [beyond bis initial tour]. Each time my tour was about to
expire. the JCS unanimously recommended to Mr. McNamara that my tour be extended and Mr.
MeNamara approved.

5. Becanae of the vital importance of the DoD intelligence
function to national aecurity, the accomplishment of organisational
end procedural improvements should be characterized by a senec
of urgency which the crilical national importance of military intel! +
gence activities demand, and at the seme time should be carricd out
Bo ae fot to disrupt the effective manegemes! of any DoD intelligence
resource.

InteMigence Agency should de located in the Department of Delenre.

7, I suggest the following preliminary guidelines ae criteria
for developing a concept and plan of » Defense LateUigence Agency.

a. The establishment of the Ageacy must not requize new
legislation, such as increasing the size of the Joint Staff.

DB. The baelc concept and charter of the Defenee Intel-
gence Agency should be ao comprehensive that there is no question
as to ite full respousibiliies, authority, functions, and facilities.

c¢. Provision should be made for the complete integration
of all defense intelligence requirements and the asaignment of pri-
orities thereto with specification as to the reaponsible collection
reaource.

ad. Present duplication in intelligence collection, process-
ing, production, estimating, publicatian, and ao forth, should be
eliminated.

es. Provision must be made for furnishing all elements
of the Department of Defense, including the Oifice of the Secretary of
Defense, with asceseary inte Uigence ivormatian which are nended
for the fulflliment of assigned reepousibibitios.

f. Careful attention should be given to the commend and
control relationships between the unified /specified commands and
whatever organizational entity is suggested for the communications
aad electronica Intelligence. However, strong contralised directina
over all COMINT and ELINT furctions is highly desired as outlined
in the Joint Study Group report.
