The CHAIRMAN replied 1n the att1rmat1ve. adding that it might be 

unwise to arrive at a position at the COMINT lnel mi.ch vu not in line 

vith the thinking ot the President and the Secretaries ot State and Detenee. 

In the ensuing discussian it vu brought out that the Under Secret.arr 

ot State was familiar vi.th th• •ituaticm 'b1' virtue ot hie recent chairmanship ot USCIB, and that the Preaidct, mile Suprse Allied Coaander in 

Europe, had besi aware of the problem; hOWTer. it vu agreed that the 

problem would be new to the Secretaries or State and Defense. 

MR. GODEL asked 1.f the Chairman had in mind a tormal or an intonaal 

approach to the Secretaey ot Dettn••· 

The CHAlRMAN replied that ·either would be satistactoey, suggesting 

that it might be beat to discuss the matter informal.ll' with the President 

and the two secretaries after a meeting ot the NSC. He said that, it such 

were dcme, USCIB's recommendaticms in the matter would undoubted}T be requested. Accordingq, he suggested that a briet ~the probl• be prepared tor possible use in thie regard. 

It vu suggested that such a paper ehould be prepared b;r th9 Executive Coma:l.ttee. 

GENERAL CANINE, ccmmenting upcn the problem raised b7 the Chairman, 

said that he had somnhat d:l.tterent view. He pointed out that there was 

no u.s. COMS.EC Boe.rd in existence and that USCIB had taken cert.ain actiODB 

to preYeat a vacuum in the C<JISBC tield - such actions being taken not u 

an inherent responsibility, but as a responsibillt7 througb detault. He 

recalled that an attempt had been made in the past to have the poliq 

questicn of OOMIHT Yersue C<JISEC resolved b,y' NSC decieicn; boweYer8 the 

NSC had expressed its duire to canBider each specilic case on it• merits. 

He concluded b;y stating bis opinicn that USCIB wu not the !inal authori t7 in C<JtSBC matters. 

In repq- to the Cbaiman's inqui.17, GmlERAL CANINE said that his com-

.mte should not be construed as an objection to the suu•ted procedure. 

He MN]T wanted to auggnt 1 h• said, that thoee mo were to be brieted be 

told that the Board vu not the final U.S. COKSE.C authority, and, canaoquentq, was acting in an ad hoc eapacit7.

indicatiao that the cOlld.n& ccnterence discuasioos wuld exttmd b67ond the

that the determination or what is meant by ttRESTRICTED DATA" lies with
