Following clause of 1st ·sentence: "but the degree of Army, 

coordination among the services and with CCMINT effort Air Force 

is at present unsatisf'actory from a warning standpoint"~ 

"Deficiencies in the ELINT program. from the warning Army,

3. While the above tabulated areas of coincidence are relatively narrow 

and few compared to the total number of deletions, their effect when 

considered together with the unique deletions appears to indicate general 

agreement on the part of the Army, Navy, Air Force and CIA members that · certain aspects of u.s. personnel policies are not pertinent to the Canadian ~eed for information on u.s. CCMINT potential for strategic warning. The 

area of agreement on deletion of the ELINT aspects of subject Report appears 

to be based on the limitations in the scope of USCIB authority.
