b. Rep]¥ thereto (not yet received) 

1. I am forwarding for your consideration and comments a 

proposed a enda for our forthcoming conference on arrangements with 

three .· which we have prepared as a .result o! 

our correspon enc erences a and b. It is to be noted that we 

have not included .·in the proposed agenda,··· r nee it. is USCIB 's 

view that a discussion of COMINT arrangements with_ I is not 

appropriate at this time. 

- 2. Because a difference set of technical, political, and economic 

problems exists with respect to each of the three countries involved, 

and because of the necessity for considering all the factors and 

recommending policy for each country on its own merits, it was deemed 

advisable to break down the agenda for the conference by country. We 

anticipate that there will, of course, be aspects common to the group 

as a whole. 

3. It is USfIB's yjew that the ob1ect1:y of US and UK COMIN,T 

arrangements with is to obtain the maximum 

amount of time]¥ and unique materials of value to the US/UK COMINT 

effort, and that therefore consideration should be given to methods 

and procedures necessary to ex.tend the collaboration in order to achieve 

this.objective. 

4. It is proposed that LSIB and USCIB each draw up position papers 

on this agenda, including any m6difications thereto mutual]¥ agreed upon, 

and ex.change these papers not later than 15 June 1954.
