arrangements   and  actions    in  order   to  accomplish   the   efficient    :::.  3/::r.  e  r.tation. 
of  this   reorganization: 
a.  The   Director.    DIA.    will   represent  on  the    US  IB   ail  elements   of 
the   Department  of  Defense   (DOD)  with  the  exception  oi  the    National  Security 
Agency  (NSA).      However,    the  Military  Departmental   lnteiiiqer.ee   Chiefs 
are   invited   and  encouraged  to  attend  as  observers  all   US  IB  meet::. lis  which 
are   of  interest  to  them  collectively  or   individually. 
b.  The  intelligence  chiefs   of  the  military  departments    retain  the    riqht 
to  express  divergent  or  alternative  views  which  they  deem   significant  and 
to  have  such  views  footnoted  in  appropriate   USIB  documents   such  as   .National 
Intelligence  Estimates  (NIEs),    Special  National  Intelligence  Estimates   (SNIEs), 
and  Watch  Committee  reports.      They  are  a.Iso  encouraged  to  make   such  views 
known  to  the  Board  of  National  Estimates  during  the   coordination  of  draft 
NIEs  and  SNIEs.      To  this  end,    the   service   intelligence   chiefs  will  have  access 
to  the  drafts  of  NIEs  and  similar   US  13  documents  and  their   representatives 
may  continue  as  active  participants  at  the   usual  interagencv  sessions  at 
the   working   level. 
c.  No  immediate  changes  will  be  made  in  respect  to  DOD   representation 
on  USIB  committees.      The  Director,    DIA,    intends  to  make   recommendations 
to  the  DCI  concerning  DOD  representation  following  discussions  with  the 
military  departments  on  a  committee -by-committee  basis.      Upon  receipt 
of  the   DIA  proposals  the   Chairman  will  then  ask  each  of  the  committee 
chairmen  for  his   suggestions.      Meanwhile  the   USIB  committees  and  working 
groups   should  retain  their  present  membership. 
d.  Procedures  are  being  initiated  to  permit  the  Director,    DIA,    to 
delegate  to  the  service  intelligence   chiefs   authority  to  continue  existing 
arrangements  for  administration  of  certain  sensitive   security  matters 
and  for  the    releasing  of  certain  classified  information.      This   refers,    for 
example,    to  such  arrangements  as  are  presently  established  by  paragraph 
28.  a.    of  DCID  No.    6/3.      The  Executive  Secretary  of  the   USIB   has  been 
directed  to  review  with  the  DIA  staff  those  arrangements  and  any  other 
categories  of  intelligence  which  might  be  subject  to  the   same  delegation 
and  to  draft  appropriate  changes  in  the  DCIDs.

e.     It   is   not  proposed  to  make  any  changes   at  this    time    in  the 
distribution  of  US  IB  documents    in  connection  with  this   reorganization. 
The   Chairman,    however,    believes  that  it  wouid  be  useful  to  have  each 
member    re-examine   the  distribution  of  US  IB   documents  within  his 
department  or  agency  and  he   has  directed   the   Executive   Secretary  to 
request   such  a   review.      This  will  be  done   in  a   separate   memorandum. 
5.     The   above   information  on   the   subject   is  circulated  herewith  for 
information  and  guidance   of  all  concerned.
