rea ca FLAX FROM GEN MARTIN

1. AS YOU REQUESTED IN OUR MOtZAY TELECON, I HAVE REVIEWED DE 15

OCTOBER PAPER ENTITLED "CARONA BRIEF," AND FORtARD HERE MY CC"...11ENTS.

2. BEFORE CO=EtITING ON TIE REFERENCED PAPER, I HAVE DE FOLLCIING

(E NLRAL CO•..P..:ENTS ON TIE OVERALL SUBJECT CF CMONA MANAGE'ZNT.

A. TFE BASIC PROBLEM, AS I SEE IT, IS THAT TFZRE IS NO SINGLE

FZRSCN 01. ELEKENT ":HO HAS EFFECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERALL SYSTEM

Et.731:4".ERINC, ACQUISITION, INTECRATION Ara OPERATIONS. SOLUTION OF THIS

FRCBLE'l REQUIRES NOT ONLYTIE DESIGNATICN OF A RESPONSIBLE PERSON BUT

ALSO TI-E DELECATION OF THE AUTH:RITY NECESSARY TO EXERCISE THIS RESPDXv. 51311 ITY. SCLUT ION OF TFZ PROBLEM THEREFORE REQUIRES AN ARRANCELENT

":F.TREBY SO?.".:. PERSON IS GIVEN ROTH RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY FOR THIS

SPECIFIC TASK OVER LOTH CIA AN3 CMONA ELEIENTS AND PERSONNEL.

THIS IS TSZ C3STACLE UPON VHICH ALL PREVIOUS ATT D?TS HAVE FLOUNDERED,

Ar..' PRI2ARY ISSUE THAT MUST BE FACED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR

ISSUZ SIWJLD LI DISCUSSED SEPARATELY FRO:.1 :4ANAGEWZNT PLAN, WITH

ACRE:1.7 .T ON FUNDAs.i.En AL PRINCIPLES CF ThZ SO_UTIO:4 TO PRECEDE ANY

ATTEMPT TO REACH ACR ES:NT ON A DETAILED WAP.ACV.INT PLAN WHICH

EE BASED UPO;; THESE PRINCIPLES. ALL PREVIOUS EFFORTS HAVE ADDRESSED

gANAGE!.:ZUT PROCEDURES, YET TIEY HAVE FAILED ON TiE BASIS THAT THERE

tAS NO ACTUAL AGREE::ENT ON THIS UN3ERLYVZ PRILCIPLE.

B. IF THE BASIC PRINCIPLE T HA T SC.1.17. ;ILL tiAV E BOTH RESPONS I B ILI TY

E. I BELIEVE TEE CO-LOOATIOM OF CIA PERSONNEL t7ITH SAFSP IS A GOOD

IDEA ONLY IF THE CIA WILL CO-LOCATE THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THEIR CORK OX CORONA AND 11ILL DELEGATE TEC RESPONSIBILITY AND

-.) AUTHORITY TO TEEM. OTIERVISC THEY ?• LL MERELY BECOME AN AOCITIONAL

ASSIST IN TIE VCRK. PIE HAVE TRIED THIS BEFORE, AND, AS A TCKEN OR 1 LIAISON FUNCTION IT IS OF NO PRACTICAL VALUE, AND SUE ACTUAL

HINDRANCE. IF VE HAVE TO DEAL WITH LAEOLEY PERSO► UL, IT IS MUCH BETTER

TO DEAL DIRECTLY VITH TEE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE RESPONSIBILITY AZ AUTHORITY. 0 F. I 'LINT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE LACK OF HAR:40NY II CORONA MANAGEMENT

C) BI3 ►MT::14 CN BASIC UNZERLYIN: PRINCIPLES. 17 IS TEE ATTEgPIS TO CARRY

OJT OhRO ASSIGNED CORONA RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER APPARENT, BUT NOT

ACTUAL, AGREEMENT ".'RICH HAS CAUSED CONTINUING DISUNITY. .0 3. IN AZDITION TO TEE ABOVE, I HAVE THE FOLLMING ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON

TIC REFERENCED PAPER:

0% THE "CORONA BRIEF" PART:

(1) THE FIRST AUMSERED PARAGRAPH DOES NOT REFLECT TEE SITUATION

ACCURATELY. TEE ONRO CANNOT PERSONALLY CARRY CUT TIE REFERENCED

RESPONSIOILITY. HE CAN ONLY FUNCTION IN A VERY BRUM OVERALL SENSE,

'.) AND CONTROL OVERALL ALLOTVZNI OF FUNDS, ETC. TEE. RESPONSIBILITY AND

AUTHCRIP1 FOR ACTUAL OVERALL SYSTE:' EMIXEERING, ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION AO OPERATIONS MUST SE DELEGATED TO SOMEONE IN TEE FIELD.

) C2) THERE ARE TTO UNSIGNED LMSC CONTRACTS, ChE FOR TEE ISIC AND

OXE FOR OVERALL CORONA SYSTEM INTEGRATION.

C3) ANY SOLUTION MUST UNAVOIDABLY MAKE SIN4E CHANGES IN PRESENT

) AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSISILITIES. HO-:EVER, THIS COULD SE DONE WITHOUT -

INVOLVING ANY RISK OF ACTUAL DISRUPTION CF THE PROGRAM.

C.% "OPTION ONE":

IN PARAGRAPH 2, TEE. RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE ASSICREO TO THE

DIRECTM, SAFSP, NOT TO TIE SPC. AS VRITTEN, NO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR

THE. OVERALL SYSTEM, AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT ANY ONE HAS ANY AUTHORITY

DIER ALL ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM.

TIC AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO BE DELEGATED TO THE DSPO,

Aia THAT KZ BE RETAINED BY CIA-OS? SHOULD SE CLEARLY STATED.

C) C3) IN PARAGRAPH 3, THE DOCUMENT SHOULD PROVIDE THAT THE DIRECTOR,

SAFSP AND tiCZEVER HE DESIGNATES TILL HAVE FREE A? DIRECT ACCESS TO

ALL CIA CORONA CONTRACTOR AND INSTALLATICS FOR FULL INFORMATION AND 0 ACCESS TO ANY AND ALL CIA CORONA ACTIVITIES AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO SHOULD

FROVIOE THAT THE DIRECTOR, SAFSP MAY CLEAR SUCH PERSONNEL AS liE
