USAF-RAF  JOINT  AGREEMENT 
on 
TARGET  INTELLIGENCE 
1.  As  a  result  of  a  series  of  formal  and  informal  discussions 
between  representatives  of  the  Assistant  Chief  of  Air  Staff  (Intel- 
ligence) Air  Ministry  and  the  Director  of  Intelligence,  USAF,  re- 
garding the  collation,  presentation,  and  exchange  of  target  intel- 
ligence, it  is  agreed  that  the  interests  of  the  USAF  and  RAF 
will  be  served  best  by  a  policy  of  close  cooperation  between  British 
and  American  air  intelligence  agencies  in  the  fie3d  of  target 
intelligence. 
2.  It  is  therefore  agreed  that,  subject  to  prevailing  security 
policy,  USAF-RAF  cooperation  on  target  intelligence  will  embrace  the 
free  exchange  of: 
a.  Basic  Target  Intelligence 
Basic  Target  Intelligence  shall  be  interpreted  as  all 
unevaluated  information  related  to  target  intelligence  including,  for 
example,  British  summary  sheets  from  factory  folders,  target  information 
work  sheets,  International  Business  Machine  or  other  listings  and 
accompanying  codes,  the  Russian  Gazeteer  now  in  process  of  completion 
by  the  Board  of  Geographic  Names,  interrogation  or  special  reports, 
captured  material,  aerial  and  ground  photography,  and  cartographic 
material . 
b.  Evaluated  Target  Intelligence 
Evaluated  Target  Intelligence  shall  be  interpreted  as 
appreciations  or  studies  involving  the  analysis  of  information  relevant 
to  any  phase  of  target  intelligence,  including  for  example,  general 
studies  pertaining  to  the  economic,  sociological,  psychological,  or 
political  aspects  of  a  potential  enemy  nationals  vulnerability. 
Similarly,  detailed  studies  including  photo-interpretation  studies 
prepared  on  selected  targets  or  target  systems  [illegible],  iron  and 
steel,  petroleum,  aircraft,  electric  power,  and  communications.  Special 
studies  prepared  on  the  basis  of  hypotheses  designed  to  focus  attention 
on  problems  pertinent  to  air  intelligence. 
c.  Target  Systems  considered  for  Air  Attack 
Target  Systems  considered  for  air  attack  shall  be  inter- 
preted as  those  systems  on  which  the  production  of  Air  Objective  Folders 
is  scheduled.
(Page  3) 
d.  Air  Objective  Folder  Material  produced  under  the  respective 
programs . 
Air  Objective  Folder  Material  shall  be  interpreted  as 
material  produced  under  the  USAF  Air  Objective  Folder  Program  or  the 
British  Targetting  Program. 
e.  Personnel 
Personnel  shall  be  interpreted  as  both  military  and  civilian 
personnel.  The  exchange  agreed  upon  provides  for  the  exchange  of  personnel 
on  a  permanent,  rotation,  or  temporary  duty  basis  to  the  fullest  extent 
deemed  advisable  and  consistent  with  budgetary  limitations. 
3.  For  the  purpose  of  facilitating  cooperation  the  target  numbering 
system  employed  by  the  USAF  will  be  adopted  as  standard.  The  use  of  this 
system  within  the  RAF  will  be  effected  as  expeditiously  as  possible.  It 
will  be  the  responsibility  of  the  USAF  to  lend  every  assistance  to  the 
RAF  in  this  matter,  including  the  immediate  and  continuing  assignment  of 
target  numbers  required  to  coordinate  the  respective  programs. 
4.  It  is  further  agreed  that  unless  it  is  contrary  to  the  decisions 
of  the  Air  Standardization  Coordination  Committee,  AF  Regulation  200-25, 
dated  25  February  1948,  and  amendments  thereto,  shall  be  accepted  as  the 
basis  for  the  standardization  of  all  completed  air  objective  folder 
material  produced  in  accordance  with  this  agreement. 
5.  The  Director  of  Intelligence,  USAF,  and  the  A.C.A.S.(I),  RAF, 
shall  be  responsible  for  the  direction  and  coordination  of  USAF  and  RAF 
cooperation  on  target  intelligence  in  order  to  insure  full  exploitation 
of  intelligence,  maximum  target  coverage,  complete  standardization,  and 
minimum  duplication  of  effort. 
6.  For  the  purpose  of  effecting  the  control  and  coordination 
required  to  integrate  USAF  and  RAF  effort  into  an  effective  target 
intelligence  program,  the  Director  of  Intelligence  and  the  A.C.A.S. (I) 
each  agree  to  appoint  representatives  charged  with  the  responsibility 
of  implementing  and  executing  the  above  agreement. 
7.  This  agreement  is  to  become  effective  immediately.
