USCIB: 9.3/31 

8 March 1955 

MEMOR.l.NDUM FOR THE MEMBERS OF l1SCIBEC: 

Subject: USCIB Master Requirements List. 

Reference: USCIB 9.3/30 of 4 i1arch 1955. 

1. Further to the understanding reached at the 26th Meeting of 

USCIBI::C on 25 February 1955, the CIA Member has prepared a draft list 

of priority national intelligence requirements for consideration as 

TAD G to the report forwarded with the reference. The CIA draft is 

enclosed herewith. 

2. It will be noted that the requirements stated in enclosed list 

and the Priority National Intelligence Objectives on which it is based 

are ng! listed in priority order as is the case in the existing USCIB 

Master Requirements List (dated 3 July 1953). In this connection, 

attention is invited to the FOREWORD of the enclosed list and to 

parag1•aphs 1, 2 and 3 of DCID #4. Comparisons between the enclosed list 

and the existing MRL will undoubtedly be made and many similarities 

in substance noted. This is to be expected since our intelligence probl~"lll has not changed so radically between 1953 and now as to create 

an entirely new set of interests. The difference in form of presentation of requirements is, however, as stated above, a distinct change. 

J. It is requested that the members of USCIBEC examine the enclosure 

with a view to determining whether they find it suitable for forwarding 

to the Board as a basis for the CCl~INT Requirements List described in 

TAB A of the enclosure with the reference, and, if not considered 

suitable, what changes they would recommend in order to make it suitable. 

4. It is therefore requested that the attached vote sheet be 

executed and returned to this office prior to the close of business 

Friday, 18 March 1955.

DRAFT OCI-2030/55 

FOREWORD 

1. DCID 4/4, Priority National I~telligence Objectives, approved 

14 December 1954, have been established pursuant to NSCID No. 4, 

paragraph 2; "a.s a guide for the coordination of intelligence 

collection and production in response to requirements relating to 

the formulation and execution of national security policy." 

2. In implementation of this directive, CIA has prepared a draft 

list of requirements (attached) as an initial step in the 

formulation of coordinated national intelligence requirements. 

These requirements are intended (a) to identify the critical 

elements of intelligence that must be produced by intelligence 

research to meet the priority objectives, and (b) to provide a 

basis for the coordinated allocation of overall collection 

responsibilities and resources, and the development of detailed 

information requirements by each agency for specific source 

material. 

3. The National Intelligence Objectives in DCID 4/4 are listed in 

three levels of priority, and each objective within a given 

category bears the same priority as the other objectives in that 

priority category. Requirements will bear the same priority as 

the objectives to which they relate. 

4. In accordance with DCID 4/4, the Priority National Intelligence 

Objectives will be reviewed for revision at least semi-annually by 

the Board of National Estimates. Immediately after such review, 

it is proposed that the requirements will be reviewed and 

appropriate revisions incorporated.
