MEMORANDUM FOR DR. MCLUCAS

THROUGH MR, PLUMMER

SUBJECT: ACDA Briefing

At the right is a reply to Dr. rkle's request that the

NRO and the Air Force jointly assist ACDA in the pre fteMB

xt

of verification briefing for presentation t

an fense people.

We have established a small group to work the problem and

ACDA has agreed to furnish an overall briefing outline so that

we can visualize better the type and form of information

desired.

Since release of,classified and compartmented intelligence

information to foreign governments is under the purview of

the DCI and of high interest to USIB, we suggest in your reply

that Dr. Ikle plan to formally advise USIB of ACDA's plan.

The proposed reply has had the concurrence of Generals

Huyser, Collins and Lawson and has been coordinated with

Dr. Wade of OSD(ISA).
