General Cutler suggested rephrasing the language in paragraph 17 of NSCID No. 1 by the incorporation of language providing
that the Director of Central Intelligence would direct the heads of
the intelligence agencies, as appropriate, to investigate any unauthorized disclosures of intelligence sources and methods. Mr. Dulles indicated that the inclusion of language along this line was
agreeable to him.
Mr. Dulles said he would like to persuade General Hull to
drop his recommendation relative to the matter of the Director of
Central Intelligence consulting with or seeking the concurrence of
other members of the Intelligence Advisory Committee. He said that
he preferred such consultation, and that as problems came up they
could be worked out readily through such consultation.
General Hull said that his Board did not oppose consultation and coordination. It did oppose dilution of the authority and
responsibility of the Director of Central Intelligence. He said
that he would not object further to the draft NSCIDs as now written,
put would recommend that if the directives were rewritten in the
future, the suggestion of the Board be followed.

Mr. Dulles said he would be pleased to accept the Hull
Board recommendation regarding overt collection activities. On that
point he suggested that draft NSCID No. 2 be modified to provide
that CIA not engage in overt collection except as requested by the
Department of State or Chief of Mission to supplement State's overt
collection assignments. General Hull felt that this clarifying lang
uage was satisfactory.
Mr. Brundage inquired as to what the militery responsibility was for collection of economic information, as referred to in
paragraph 3 of draft NSCID No. 2.
General Cutler responded by saying that in the Planning
Board it was indicated that the collection of economic information
by the military services was not a primary mission; rather, such intelligence was picked up incidental to other affirmative missions of
the military services.
