Approved For Relse 2005/03/24: CIA-R 000080030-3 SUBJECT: USIB Committee on Intelligence Resources and Asset Allocation -- 1 25X1 1. The Chairman opened the meeting with an explanation of the purpose for which the Committee had been convened -- a re- view of resources and asset allocation over the next five years in Indochina during the era of reducing U.S. presence. The en- suing discussion covered such subjects as Vietnamization, the problem of National versus Tactical/Military requirements, and the level of enemy activity, all of which contribute directly or indirectly to the problem at hand.

The question was raised as to whether we will really need as much intelligence in the future as U.S. forces are withdrawn from the field. 2. The State Department representative stated that the Committee should develop a framework of intelligence require- ments which then could be reviewed by the Intelligence Community and the field. While the feeling was expressed that the status quo would have to be maintained regarding intelligence collection to support U.S. forces, it was necessary that specific require- ments be developed in place of the shot gun approach of the past. The consensus of the group was that it must be decided what it is we want -- what will the Intelligence Community be asked to col- lect in the future and at what level and what will be the time- liness required. 3. The Chairman asked that each principal draft his own interpretation of what will be needed in the future and that the submissions be received by 1200 on Wednesday. These sub- missions will be circulated among the group for review and comment. It is envisaged that the inputs will provide the material to develop a consolidated prospectus of what is needed and will be expected of the Intelligence Community. Mr. Tweedy asked that the principals keep in mind the various priorities involved regarding intelligence requirements, i.e., those re- quired by U.S. officials, both in Washington and in the field, to meet their day-to-day responsibilities, those necessary to Approved For Release 2005/03/24: CIA-R 01300080030-3 S`04~`f 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/03/24: CIA- assist our Allies and protect our forces during withdrawal, and those which will allow our Allies to protect themselves now and in the future. 25X1 25X1 Vietnamese Affairs Staff Related Activities Center Approved For Release 2005/03/24: CI - 720R001300080030-3 E WH 25X1
