Ml!MORAlmlM FOR THE CHAIRMAN 1 I.Sm 

1. OV'er the past tew years both the U.S. Bild the U.XC. have eatabl.ished independent ..._~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~--

vi thin the acope ot Appendix. "P" to the UI<lJSA Agreement. In recent 

months it bas become clear that acme extension of those arrangements 

vould prove beneficial. to our 11D1tual effort 1n the COMINT • fiel4 and 

certain suggestions toward that objective bave been offered. 

2. OUr Board is of the opinion that, rather than a:pprove re~ata 

tor extension of the several existing arrangements 1 perhaps the time · 

bas come tor representatives of both uscm and IBIB to discuss the broad 

problem of U.S. a.ud U.IC. 

As you know, such a discussion woul.d necessarily have to be 

. limited to CaaNT, inasmuch as El.INT is not within the purview of mcm. 

3. If' your Board should be favorably dispased toward a review ot 

our arrangements Yi th thel ~ I shoul.d · . 

like to propose that the Director 1 GCHQ.1 and Director 1 RSA,, undertake 

to prepare a mutuall.7 acceptable agenda for a conference cm this subject 

and to work out the details of' time and location. The agenda would,, ot 

course, be referred to each Board for approval. prior to convening the · 

actua1 conference.
