MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

•

SUBJECT: Planning Meeting for Intelligence Programs Briefings

to the Senate Appropriations Committee

This morning I met with Mr. Jim Vance (OASD-I) and representatives from NSA to discuss planning for briefings to a

special group of the Intelligence Subcommittee of the Senate

Appropriations Committee. Dr. Hall had previously met with

Senator McClellan (Chairman) to establish the general philosophy

for this meeting and subsequently with Mr. McConnell (Staff

Assistant) to work out the details.

Mr. Colby will meet with the same group on the 25th of

April. Re has a total of 30-60 minutes and it is understood

that he plans first to present essentially the same information

provided to the House Armed Services Committee on 1 April to be

followed by an internal CIA briefing.

The DoD intelligence briefing is planned for 26 April from

10:00am to 1200 noon. There is a possibility that Senator

McClellan may extend for 30 minutes additional time but we

should not plan for this. The agenda is as follows:

General description of the Dr. Hall 10-15 min.

over-all Defense Intelligence

Program

NRO presentation Mr. Plummer 40-45 min.

NSA presentation Director or 40-45 min.

Vice Director

DIA presentation Director 20-25 min.

Dr. Hall will describe the role of the Secretary of Defense

as it relates to intelligence (chart attached, Tab A). He will

present fiscal trend information of the total intelligence

budget (FY75 dollar base). One chart will show inflationary

trends using FY75 as the current and the constant year. He

will close with a discussion of the basic intelligence policies

Dr. Hall will close by introducing Mr. Plummer as the

Under Secretary of the Air Force and the Director of the

National Reconnaissance Office to present information pertainlug to the National Reconnaissance Program. In turn,

Mr. Plummer should introduce NSA and NSA should introduce DIA.

It was tentatively agreed at this meeting that the NRO would

focus on overhead collection, the NSA on analysis, and the DIA

on exploitation.

Arrangements for viewgraphs and briefing stands and security

clearance of the room will be made without our involvement.

There will be no recording and no transcript of this session.

To assure that there is no undue duplication between

speakers and that our presentations flow in an orderly pattern

Mr. Vance has scheduled the second meeting early next week at

which time outlines of each briefi should be available.
