TO: Mr. Friedman 

Subject: CONSIDO 

1. Mr. Zaslow, i·Jh.o is currently on loan from NSA to General 

·Erskine's office, would like to read all the available material on the 

CONSIDO saga. His efforts to borrow G-2's CONSIDO file were not success-

.f'ul, as G-2 no longer suppor~s the CONSIDO proposals and is therefore 

not entlru.siastic about a possible revival of interest in the matter at 

the SecDef level. In any case, your file on the subject is the only ~ 

complete one in existence. '-~

I told Zaslow. that I would inform you of his interest in -~ the matter so that he could mention the file to you on the open 'phone, .t 

without using the fateful name. He 1-x:>Uld like permission to read the j 

complete file (his present knowledge of the CONSIDO idea starts with """'·'?°' 

the later, watered-down versions of the originall. He is not planning ·L 

to start a war but only to direct attention to the fact that a solution ~ 

to certain pressing problems was once offered which was not tried and 

found· wanting but found difficult and not tried.

a request f'or reconnnendation s regarding the "consumer" COMINT effort 

was as follows :

lead to.the conclusions on vhioh the recommendations are baaed 

lead aleo to the oonolusion that a unified Armed Forcaa SeoU1'1ty Ageno7 should be es·tabl1shed. 

4. Assuming tblLt a un1,f'ied Armed Forcea Security Agency ia estal>lish~d. the reoommeu4at1ons macle in the aubJeot memorandum 

oould be applied within the National Military Establishment .• 

as tellovs: 

a. • central OOMIBT evaluating and d1seem1nat1ng unit 

oould be established at the ·Armed Forces Security Agency. composed of personnel contributed. by the Al"my. Navy. and Air 

l'orce, and ope1•ationslly subol'd1nate to the. Chief, AFSA (vho,, 

1n turn, would be eubol'dinate to the Joint Chiefs of Staff). 

b. The pereonnel contl'ibutecl t9 the center by the 

three serviees could have the dual responsibility of producing 1ntelligenee for the Joint· Chiefs of s.tatr and intelligence of 

primary interest to the!r respective services. Such en arrangement would pl'ov1de the N$.tions.l Military Establishment and the 

Join.t Chiefs ot Staff with thB.t portion of total intelligence baaed on COJQ:NT which has been allocated to the National M1litary- Establiemnent under the NIB •. It would nat ~:rov1ds the means for 

1Dtegl'at1ns those fields or intelligence which are c.urrently alloca~d to the State Department s.nd- CIA l~ith the intelligence produced by the AFSA unit. However. upon the establishment of 

a o~ntral C0MIWT evaluating and d1esem1n&t1ng unit within the 

Rational Mi11ta17 Eetabl1ahment, the State Department and OIA 

oou.14 be invited. to contribute personnel to the centra.1 un1t. 

The full a.4,vantages outlined -in the staff stuCQ" attached to the 

subject me~orandwil would thus be ~ohieved without the danger or 

loss of' op~iaat1.onal control by the National Military Establishment. 

5. Xt ie reoommended that:

In either situation outlined above, the members ot the Special Intelligence 

Committee are the aameo 

In situation!.• above, USCIB would prescribe policy for the operation of 

CONS!DO and verify the execution thereof'. After reviewing and approving the 

organization, personnel allocations and methods of procedure, it would take the 

neces~ary aotion with the departments and agencies concerned to provide personnel 

and equipment on a continuing basis for the operation of CONSIDO. Based on the 

periodic report of the Director., CONSIDO.. USCIB would give general guidance and 

direction for the preparation of reports designed to facilitate the production 

of intelligence by the various intelligence agencies responsible therefor. 

Dispute within the membership would be resolved in the prescribed manner lfl.th 

ultimate resolution by NSC if necessary. 

In situation .!?_,, above., CONSIDO mll beoome an organ of the Department of 

Def'enae under the di reot supervision of the JCS (Au@1Aonted JIC). USCIB, however, 

would continue to prescribe broad policy fo~ the coordination of COMINT 

activities and the JCS would. of course, be bound to comply in exercising its 

supervision over CONSIDO. The Augmented JIC would take action to provid$ personnel and facilities from tha participating agencies and give general guidance 

to the operations of CONSIDO pursuant to the policies and priorities or USCIB 

as is done now in security matters. Dispute within the membership would be 

presented as split views to the JCS for resolution. In case of a decision ad:( .. _-J?I-~
