DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTIVE NO. 1/17 PRODUCTION OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATES (Effective 21 April 1958) : Pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 15, NSCID No. 1, and in order to facilitate department participation in the production of national intelligence estimates, the following operating procedures are established: ; 1. Programming Periodically, but not less than quarterly, the Board of National Esti- mates, Central Intelligence Agency, will present to the Intelligence Ad- visory Committee (IAC) for approval a program of National Intelligence Estimates and Special National Intelligence Estimates (NIE’s and SNI®’s) for production during the following six months. In preparing this program, the Board will consult with the NSC Planning Board and appropriate committees of the IAC, and will coordinate with the IAC agencies. . 2. Initiation Requests for estimates other than those programmed will be trans- mitted to the IAC via the Board of National Estimates. The Board will take such action as is indicated by the circumstances prior to transmit- ting the request to the IAC for action; e.g., comment, initiate immediate action subject to subsequent IAC ratification, or attach draft terms of reference to its recommendation that the estimate be approved for pro- duction. 3. Normal Preparation Estimates will normally be prepared in four stages: a. Terms of Reference and Contributions — The Board, after con- sultation with the LAC agencies, will circulate terms of reference in- dicating the scope of the estimate and the intelligence material needed. The Agencies, or an IAC Subcommittee or other appropriate group, will then prepare contributions and submit them to the Board. b. Drafting and Board Consideration — After considering the con- tributions, and such consultation with any contributing agency which may be appropriate, the Board will prepare a draft. c. Consideration by Representatives of the IAC Agencies — Repre- sentatives of the IAC agencies will meet with the Board to review, comment on and revise the draft as necessary. d. ZAC Consideration — The final draft will then be submitted to the IAC for approval. . 4. Preparation under Exceptional Circumstances Any of the steps listed in 3a, b, and c above may be omitted under exceptional or unusually urgent circumstances. 1This Directive supersedes DCID No. 3/5, of 9/1/53.

SSD 5. Dissents Any agency may dissent to any feature of an estimate. Such dis- sents identify the dissenter and will state the dissenter’s position on the matter. 6. Publication and Dissemination Finished estimates will be published by CIA and disseminated by the DCI according to established procedures. Published estimates will carry a note indicating the extent of coordination within the intelligence com- munity. ; 7. DCID 3/5, 1 September 1953, is herewith rescinded. ALLEN W.

Order of listing within these three groups is a matter of convenience in presenta- tion and has no significance with respect. to the relative Priority < of specific iterms within the group. 3. Although a given subject may be Jisted as a matter of priority, not every bit of information relating to it will be required with equal urgency and some may be procurable by routine means. It is therefore incum- bent upon reszarch personne! to exercise discrimination in allocating analytical resources and in formulating information requirernents so as” to accord priority only to these aspects of the listed subject which actually require a priority research or collection effort. Sirsilarly, if speciac collection and analytic facilities are inadequate to satisfy all the require-. ments levied upon them, a determination of priority in their use will have to be made, under the general guidance of the PNIO’s but in texms of specific operational capabilities. 4.
