PJ 44CHAPTER 11REC #1 HATONN
MON., FEBRUARY 10, 1992 8:58 A.M. YEAR 5, DAY 177
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1992The rain and sun both fall on those who are just and upon those who are unjust. Each shall feel the tooth of the viper's strike for long since has man learned to manipulate that which was once the Mother's to cycle. However, I, Hatonn, am here to remind you that in the fields two might stand or work beside the other--one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Will YOU be left? So be it.
TODAY'S WATCH
You are most capable of seeing that which lies 'neath the news of the day. The "Big One" of the season is "The Unified" and "The Unification". Now what ever might that mean? I believe as you watch the term in its application (especially in the Olympic Games broadcasts), it represents this new Soviet Commonwealth bearing a "proper" name without any meaning whatsoever. The term is a verb which means "in unison". It can mean nothing because it is NOT a noun and neither is there any unification among the states involved. However, to get assistance the people must relinquish all rights to choice--even as the youngsters in France competing for winter games. The plans are as subtle as the sneaking scorpion which waits beneath the rocks for the unsuspecting victim.
GLOBALISM
With each writing we are drawn back to the point in focus as the evil planners bring down the shroud. It is called "Globalism" but it is as deadly as the viper's bite.
To solve a problem, however, it must be understood clearly. And to understand it, you must open your eyes and ears and hearts to the fact that the problem exists, and that it is gnawing at all you hold precious. As I write of the CIA, for instance, I see the thrust from you ones who say--"...get on with the problem, we don't want to hear about the CIA." The CIA is a part of the octopus which will orchestrate the integration of itself and all police enforcement groups within the Global monster--headed ultimately by the Elite Committee of 300. Without this information you miss the most important branch of terror which will come down on you. Knowledge is all that can give you assets enough to know where to stand.
I am left alone in my work more and more these days, because the Planners perceive that you are now trapped and it becomes easier if you KNOW what you are going to do. It never occurs to them longer that you CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PLIGHT. So be it.
Are YOU a part of the problem--or a part of the solution? We shall see. Are you willing to become a part of that instruction mandate of James 1:22, and become doers of the word, and not hearers only? Do you accept the admonition of James 2:26 that faith without works is dead? This is from that wondrous book you continue to throw in my face. I never was among the ones who misunderstood the book.
We do not speak of some abstract contrivance of rhetoric. This is real, and it is rapidly digesting and expanding under the mesmerizing auspices and direction of politicians and religionists. Well, chelas, both this Globalism and humanism can, and must, be countered by a genuine return to what were once called "American patriotism and principles", and by the joining together (unification) of one nation, UNDER GOD, in a moral revival across your land and thence around the world.
WHY PUSH ON?
But why does Hatonn continue to push and pour forth information when so many discount and deny? Because as long as there is ONE who seeks--so shall he be given into the finding. God sends us with this dictum: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." And you have had that input for generations upon generations--since Hosea 4:6.
Surprisingly enough, most ones who act as globalists are totally convinced that what they are doing is for the eventual salvation of mankind and the planet Earth. The great strength they possess is that the general public in your land does not even know that they exist. And because of the mammoth level of deceit and subterfuge the ordinary person fails to comprehend the ability to deceive to this extent.
THE GOAL: GLOBAL CONTROL
The objective, simply put, is control. Although the desire to rule the world is not a new ambition, the control sought by this present generation of global imperialists is more than government, wealth and resources. They control these already. What the globalists want in order to complete their plan is control of population. They fully intend to simply remove the overpopulation to suit themselves and their own needs.
Their objective of global control is most easy to discern, but its implementation is complex and convoluted. The CIA structure is a very good example of the hidden but unlimited resources available to them through you. It is mind-boggling for ordinary "Man" when he attempts to unravel it--truly a "tangled web" of deception. Their control of population is in their ability to manage the very thoughts and behavior of the masses: the key being consensus; the motivation, survival.
If the struggle were simply a physical one, you could identify your enemy more readily and recognize the dangers coming against you. Like the serpent in the garden, the sophistication and refinement of the psychological weaponry are so subtle that you are now in the final stages of the conflict with only a very few awakening to the conflict's existence. Most of these still too sleepy to comprehend the danger already upon and devouring you.
As a measure of the effectiveness of these new techniques you need only recall the unfenced concentration camps during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Due to psychological intimidation the captured American military did not try to escape. Are you even aware of this, America? Where would these prisoners go? Even your own United States military and/or government would not come to rescue them--2,600 KNOWN PRISONERS still wait rotting in the prisons while the U.S. carries on its drug business without interruption. The same behavioral control exists today, but everyone is a prisoner, the earth is the concentration camp and the globalists are the stalag commandants.
CONCENTRATION CAMP EARTH
DID YOU HEAR ME? You are on Earth--trapped in their concentration camp. WE are your only way off the place and they effort to see to it that you are too frightened of God Himself to allow possibilities to enter into your thoughts. WE ARE YOUR ONLY WAY OFF THE PLANET IN SAFETY OF TRANSFER.
You see, your struggle is not against flesh and blood... (Ephesians 6:12 for you who read your "book".) The evil deceivers have captured, through spiritual methods, that which is ONLY of flesh and blood. Worse, you have helped him at every turn by getting rid of all messengers who bring Truth and otherwise effort to show you the facts of it.
In the past you ones "Under God" have always been too late with too little. You cannot afford that mistake this time. You are told all sorts of lies about God and you fail to longer KNOW GOD. You are incensed when I suggest that possibly He is angry at your foolishness. Well, I can promise you that God will patiently await some sign of intelligent life from you--each. If you ones want to preserve the right to live and worship freely and Americans want to retain a national identity, you must stop indulging yourselves in the luxury of fighting each other and direct your energies against the proven enemy.
There is much to be done and very little time in which to do it. If your nation of the United States (and America as a whole) falls, so falls the world for you are the only one left with a Constitution in enough purity to attend the Laws necessary to restructure and grow, thus allowing the world to follow--for strength compounds when in service under God. If your nations fall, and the end is very, very near, there is no place else to go as you perceive it. You are bound to Earth as surely as within any prison of your choosing to example.
In-fighting has dissipated your energies and brought you to your present calamitous condition--that, and simply lack of "giving a damn"--it is far easier to wave yellow flags of cowardice. You are in total chaos and still the dissension continues and worsens. It is PLANNED that way! You are at a crossroads, people-of-the-world.
YOUR WAY: GOD'S WAY
YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON THE LORD'S SIDE OR CONTINUE DOING IT YOUR WAY--WHICH IS AND WILL LEAD TO ULTIMATE DISASTER.
So, we shall move right on along our path of giving information--WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT IN ACTION. At this point we are informing you about that wondrously exciting group called the CIA--which has shackled your nation--and now integrates completely into the Global Elite's arsenal for wrapping you in the tangled web of the worst enemy the physical world can ever know--an evil adversary DEVOID of GOD! Call it by any cute name you wish--IT IS DEFINED AS HELL.
Let us take more time in outlaying the story in point so we can I move on, afterward, into solutions.
CIA AND THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY--CONTINUED
Dharma, no, we aren't going to use any explanation. It is too time consuming and it is assumed if ones wish to be informed they will have done some of their own homework. Just start writing, please, as I dictate. Thank you.
THE DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE
The Directorate of Intelligence, with some 3,500 employees, engages in two basic activities: first, the production of finished intelligence reports from the analysis of information (both classified and unclassified); and second, the performance of certain services of common concern for the benefit of the whole intelligence community. Included in the latter category are the agency's various reference services (e.g., a huge computerized biographical library of foreign personalities, another on foreign factories, and so on); the Foreign Broadcasting Information Service (a worldwide radio and television monitoring system); and the National Photographic Interpretation Center (an organization, run in close cooperation with the Pentagon, which analyzes photographs taken from satellites and spy planes). About two thirds of the Intelligence Directorate's $70 million annual budget is devoted to carrying out these services of common concern for the government's entire national-security bureaucracy. Thus, the State and Defense Departments are spared the expense of maintaining duplicate facilities, receiving from the CIA finished intelligence in areas of interest to them. For example, when there is a shift in the Soviet leadership, or a new Chinese diplomat is posted to Washington, the Intelligence Directorate routinely sends biographical information (usually classified "secret") on the personalities involved to the other government agencies. Similarly, the various State Department bureaus (along with selected American academicians and newspapers) regularly receive the agency's unclassified transcripts of foreign radio and television broadcasts.
Most of the rest of the Intelligence Directorate's assets are focused on political, economic, and strategic military research. The agency's specialists produce both current intelligence--reports and explanations on a daily basis of the world's breaking events--and long-range analysis of trends, potential crisis areas, and other matters of interest to the government's policy-makers. Turning out current intelligence reports is akin to publishing a newspaper, and in fact, the Intelligence Directorate puts out daily and weekly publications which, except for their high security classifications, are similar to work done by the American press. These regular intelligence reports, along with special ones on topics like corruption in South Vietnam or the prospect for the Soviet wheat crop, are sent to hundreds of "consumers" in the federal government. The primary consumer, however, is the President, and he receives every morning a special publication called the President's Daily Brief. In the Johnson Administration these reports frequently contained, in addition to the normal intelligence fare, rather scandalous descriptions of the private lives of certain world leaders, always avidly read by the President. President Johnson's taste in intelligence was far from conventional. A former high State Department official tells of attending a meeting at the White House and then staying on for a talk with the President afterward. LBJ proceeded to play for him a tape recording (one of those presumably made by the FBI) of Martin Luther King in a most compromising situation.
The agency found, however, that in the Nixon Administration such items were not appreciated, and the tone of the daily report was changed. Even so, President Nixon and HENRY KISSINGER soon lost interest in reading the publication; the task was relegated to lower-ranking officials on the National Security Council staff. [AT this time, Eagleburger's office and that of Scowcroft, the Mormon representative to the One World Government Order.]
* * *
THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIRECTORATE
The fourth and newest of the CIA's directorates, Science and Technology, also employs the smallest number of personnel, about 1,300 people. It carries out functions such as basic research and development, the operation of spy satellites, and intelligence analysis in highly technical fields. In addition to these activities, it also handles the bulk of the agency's electronic data-processing (computer) work. While the S&T Directorate keeps abreast of and does research work in a wide variety of scientific fields, its most important successes have come in developing technical espionage systems. The precursor of this directorate was instrumental in the development of the U-2 and SR-71 spy planes. The S&T experts have also made several brilliant breakthroughs in the intelligence-satellite field. In the late 1950's, when Clandestine Services chief Richard Bissell encouraged the technicians in their development of America's first photo-reconnaissance satellite, they produced a model which was still in use as late as 1971. And agency technicians have continued to make remarkable advances in the "state of the art". Today spy satellites, capable of producing photographs from space with less than (**DELETED**) resolution, lead all other collection means as a source of intelligence. The S&T Directorate has also been a leader in developing other technical espionage techniques, such as over-the-horizon radars, "stationary" satellites, and various other electronic information-gathering devices. [H: They also become most involved in placement of robotic entities--in coalition with the services which research biological life creation. Hold ever in your hearts that technology was fully available in 1974 at the writing of this dissertation--how much more sophisticated might it be this day?]
The normal procedure has been for the S&T Directorate, using both CIA and Pentagon funds, to work on a collection system through the research-and-development stage. Then, once the system is perfected, it is turned over to the Defense Department. In the case of a few particularly esoteric systems, the CIA has kept operational control, but the agency's S&T budget of about $120 million per year is simply not large enough to support many independent technical collection systems.
CIA technicians, for example, worked with Lockheed Aircraft at a secret site in Nevada to develop the A-11, probably the most potent airborne collection system ever to fly. In February 1964, before the plane became operational, President Johnson revealed its existence to the news media, describing it as a long-range Air Force interceptor. Five months later, at another news conference, the President disclosed that there was a second version of the aircraft, which he described as "an advanced strategic reconnaissance plane for military use, capable of worldwide reconnaissance". Three years after that, when the A-11, now the SR-71, was flying regularly, the program was turned over to the Air Force.
12 LINES DELETED
TOO MANY PEOPLE
Any reasonable reviewer of the CIA, after surveying the deployment of agency funds and personnel and weighing these against the intelligence gains produced by the various directorates, would probably come to the same conclusion as did Richard Helms' temporary replacement as Director, James Schlesinger. On April 5, 1973, Schlesinger admitted to the Senate Armed Forces Committee that "We have a problem...we just have too many people. It turns out to be too many people in the operational areas. These are the people who in the past served overseas.... Increasing emphasis is being placed on science and technology, and on intelligence judgments."
Schlesinger's words--and the fact that he was not a "house man" from the Clandestine Services--were auguries of hope to those many critics of the CIA who believe that it is overly preoccupied with the covert side of intelligence. But Schlesinger lasted only four months at the agency before he was named Secretary of Defense, and the changes he effected were generally confined to a 6-percent staff cut and an early-retirement program for certain superannuated employees. Schlesinger has been succeeded by William Colby--a man who had a highly successful career as a clandestine operator specializing in "dirty tricks", and who can only be expected to maintain the Dulles-Helms policy of concentration on covert action.
At present (1974) the agency uses about two-thirds of its funds and its manpower for covert operations and their support--proportions that have been held relatively constant for more than ten years. Thus, out of the agency's career workforce of roughly 16,500 people and yearly budget of about $750 million, 11,000 personnel and roughly $550 million are earmarked for the Clandestine Services and those activities of the Directorate of Management and Services (formerly the Directorate of Support), such as communications, logistics, and training, which contribute to covert activities. Only about 20 percent of the CIA's career employees (spending less than 10% of the budget) work on intelligence analysis and information processing. There is little reason, at present, to expect that things will change.

IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE RE: CIA
Let us pause at this point for some further explanation regarding our presentation of this material. Our early intent in the writing is to give you a working picture of the operations system, hierarchy and general "governmental" pecking order and who does what and how the budgets work. You will certainly find the figures outdated--but not the general organization charts. You will be aware--if you keep up with even the non-news--that much is voted in and out and covert/overt operations are fiddled with and then given open range to continue with more budget in ever more secrecy--having to answer to no one. We are talking here, about a multi-billion dollar expenditure annually. You see, for every project such as the SR-71 in Nevada--THERE ARE MORE AND BIGGER INSTALLATIONS AND GOINGS-ON AT PLACES SUCH AS IN CALIFORNIA AS WE HAVE SHOWN YOU--WITH MASSIVE UNDERGROUND FACILITIES--ALSO RUN BY LOCKHEED.
What you must note, however, is the massive cutbacks in those industries such as Lockheed and Northrop, etc. What can that mean? It means that the Plans have been orchestrated and the symphony ready to begin and you need set-builders no longer.
OKLAHOMA INCIDENT
Dharma, we need to attend the latest plea for help from Oklahoma--but we will attend it properly.
You ones must understand that WE WRITE AND PUBLISH. All legal matters must be investigated fully--no one goes off in scattered directions. I can guarantee and promise that the situation is more complicated than the simple arrest and confiscation of LIBERATORS AS IS PRESENTED TO THE OFFICE AT AMERICA WEST.
We are NOT the Constitutional Law Center and now I believe you can see WHY! Decisions of legality of actions must be left to the legal department who understands and knows the Constitutional LAWS. THERE IS MUCH, MUCH MORE INVOLVED IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THAN IS MEETING THE EYES--AND YOU WILL NOT JEOPARDIZE OUR WORK AND THE SERVICE UNTO THE MILLIONS OF READERS--BY DOING FOOLISH THINGS CONCERNING THE ONE WHO HAS MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL.
The citizens in point have done the proper thing in making contact--however, we don't jump into the fire if the people themselves built the bonfire. What else have these ones been doing? If lawbreaking and violence is a part of their habitual exercises, such as KKK, White Supremacy, Black Unity--or ADL in violation of laws--then we have a real problem and God does not accept such counter-actions against that which is given in our work.
ALWAYS STRICTLY PROPER ACTIONS
OUR ONLY ADVOCATION OF ACTION IS WITHIN THE LAW AND WITHOUT VIOLENCE--ALWAYS WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND ALWAYS WITHIN THE LAWS! THE POINT OF THE RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION ARE THE PROTECTION OF UNALIENABLE (INALIENABLE) RIGHTS OF CITIZENS UNDER THAT CONSTITUTION--HOWEVER, RIGHTS OF ALL OTHER CITIZENS MUST ALSO BE PROTECTED AS WELL. IF YOU SET YOUR RIGHTS ABOVE ANOTHER AND TAKE ACTIONS WHICH DAMAGE ANOTHER IN HIS RIGHTS--YOU ARE WRONG! WE DO NOT ADVOCATE VIOLENCE NOR EVEN DEMONSTRATIONS--WE ADVOCATE GETTING INFORMED AND CHANGING YOUR SYSTEM WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE CONSTITUTION--BY BALLOT NOT BULLETS NOR SANDBAGS. OURS IS NOT TO BE HERE TO SERVE HIDDEN AGENDAS OF MALCONTENTS, OVEREAGER WARRIORS WHO BREAK LAWS AND THOSE WHO WOULD CAUSE OUR TRUTH TO BE STOPPED BY GROSSLY ILL-BEHAVIOR. IF INDEED, THE FAULT IS ABSENT AND CAUSE FOR ACTION SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF INABILITY TO HAVE MATERIAL WHICH REPRESENTS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS--THEN THE ADVERSARY SHALL SORELY WISH HE HAD NOT INTERFERED. IF THE ACTIONS OF THE ONES WHO ARE NOW REPRESENTATIVE OF THE "VICTIMS" ARE IN PURE INTENT OF SERVICES TO GOD WITHIN THE LAWS--SO SHALL GOD ATTEND THE PLIGHT. IF YOU ARE GIVEN TO ACT WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF ALL FACTS--YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN YOUR ENEMY.
Thank you for your attention. We shall return with more discussion on the CIA: The Intelligence Community (as a whole).
Hatonn to stand-by so that I might do some investigations. Please attend my summons, Dharma.
Good morning.

REC #2 HATONN
MON., FEB. 10, 1992 12:50 P.M. YEAR 5, DAY 177As we again sit to pen, I would speak of the legal case brought into our attention just prior to lunch break this morning. I make no comment on validity of feasible involvement by the Law Center--I just want it to be pointed out that the case is far different than at first presented.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1992
THE OKLAHOMA INCIDENT UPDATE
Among the facts somehow left out of the story in contact with me, was the situation (as now told to us, so still facts are not present) that the people were arrested by MANY officers who ransacked their dwelling and confiscated several things among which were LIBERATORS and/or PHOENIX JOURNALS. You will need no defense against the LIBERATORS and/or PHOENIX JOURNALS in anyone's possession. You still have the right to have publications received in your home. The best defense for having LIBERATORS is that they speak for themselves. Believe me, chelas, if there were legal grounds to silence us--it would have been done prior to now and would not be done in a raid which could only present papers, books and newsletters. Already, facts seep out in this particular instance--for the story now goes that there was a third party who stayed with this couple and that person had less than an ounce of marijuana and that had been tattled by some other person. I make no judgment or statement regarding the circumstance except that if there are broken laws, even good cases are jeopardized.
This is exactly WHY, however, this property is monitored constantly for possible set-ups. We have had to limit overnight guests and family members who do come, along with persons who frequent the dwelling--do not even bring beer or wine onto the premises. I do hope this will be insight to any who still feel it fine to tamper and mess around with illegal substances, by smoking or any other means--to NEVER come to our homes or businesses with ANY such substance on or near your person. Remember that even old clothing, coats, etc., having once carried the substances in point are still tattle-tales with electronic sniffers and dogs.
I REPEAT: WE ARE NOT EVEN IN CONSIDERATION FOR BREAKING OF THE LAWS FOR THE SURVEILLANCE TEAMS KNOW WE ARE NOT SUBVERSIVE NOR DO WE EVER SUGGEST ANYTHING ILLEGAL OR VIOLENT, AS I CAREFULLY COVERED PRIOR TO NOW. IT IS A NICE UNDERSTANDING WE HAVE WITH OUR ENEMY SO ANY WHO WOULD SET US UP MIGHT WELL FIND THEMSELVES THE TARGET OF THEIR OWN SO-CALLED ALLIES. BELIEVE ME, FRIENDS, THE ADVERSARY DOES NOT WISH TO UPSET THE HOSTS BY BREAKING SOME OF THOSE UNDERSTOOD TREATIES. IF ANY OF YOU BREAK LAWS--IT IS NOT OF OUR SUGGESTION. THE LAW CENTER ATTORNEYS ARE IN TOUCH WITH THE LAWYER OF THE PEOPLE IN POINT TO SEE WHAT IS WORTHY OF INVOLVEMENT. IF FRAME-UP WAS PERPETRATED--THERE IS WHERE THE CASE LIES--NOT IN LIBERATORS or NORTHPOINT newsletters.
Let us continue right along with the CIA, please.
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
Taken as a whole, U.S. intelligence is no longer made up of a small glamorous fraternity of adventurous bluebloods--men motivated by a sense of noblesse oblige who carry out daring undercover missions. That is the romantic myth without which there would be few spy novels, but it is not the substance of the modern intelligence profession. Today the vast majority of those in the spy business are faceless, desk-bound bureaucrats, far removed from the world of the secret agent. To be sure, the CIA still strives to keep alive such techniques as classical espionage and covert action, but its efforts have been dwarfed by the huge technical collection programs of other government intelligence organizations--chiefly military agencies.
TEN SEPARATE COMPONENTS
In all, there are ten different components of the federal government which concern themselves with the collection and/or analysis of foreign intelligence. These ten agencies, complete with their hundreds of subordinate commands, offices, and staffs, are commonly referred to as the "intelligence community". Operating silently in the shadows of the federal government, carefully obscured from public view and virtually immune to congressional oversight, the intelligence community every year spends over $6 billion and has a full-time workforce of more than 150,000 people. The bulk of this money and manpower is devoted to the collection of information through technical means and the processing and analysis of that information. The intelligence community amasses data on all the world's countries, but the primary targets are the communist nations, especially the Soviet Union and China, and the most sought-after information concerns their military capabilities and intentions.
[H: Let us just list the departments, half of which fall under the Department of Defense. The numbers are outdated in the chart so let it suffice to simply say that the major funding goes to the various Dept. of Defense agency departments beginning with the National Security Agency, then Air Force Intelligence, Army and Navy Intelligence, and then the Defense Intelligence Agency. I would point out, however, that it is through the Naval Intelligence Service that you have your most powerful players--i.e., the gold from Ft. Knox, among other places, was handled under the directions of Naval Intelligence. The Air Force Intelligence Service includes the national Reconnaissance Office which gives the appearance of a more sizable budget.]
CIA HEAD "BIG CHIEF" OF ALL
U. S, INTELLIGENCE
The intelligence community's best-known member, the CIA, accounts for less than 15 percent of its total funds and personnel. Despite the agency's comparatively small size, however, the head of the CIA is not only the number-one man in his own agency but, as a result of the National Security Act of 1947, is also the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI)--the titular chief of the entire intelligence community. [H: sic, sic--and you thought Bush was a wimp!] However, the community which the DCI supposedly oversees is made up of fiercely independent bureaucratic entities with little desire for outside supervision. All the members except the CIA are parts of much larger governmental departments, and they look to their parent agencies for guidance. [H: Now you can see why it became imperative to have Bush become President because most of these branches only answer to the President--AND THE PRESIDENT ANSWERS TO HENRY KISSINGER AND SO ON UP TO THE HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE OF 300.] While all participants share the same profession and general aim of protecting the national security, the intelligence community has developed into an interlocking, overlapping maze of organizations, each with its own goals. In the words of Admiral Rufus Taylor, former head of Naval Intelligence and former Deputy Director of the CIA, it most closely resembles a "tribal federation".
BRITISH INTELLIGENCE REAL HEAD OF
U.S. INTELLIGENCE
The Director of Central Intelligence heads up several interagency groups which were created to aid him in the management and operation of the intelligence community. The DCI's two principal tools for managing intelligence are the Intelligence Resources Advisory Committee (IRAC) and the United States Intelligence Board (USIB). The IRAC's members include representatives from the State Department, Defense, the Office of Management and Budget, and the CIA itself. (Since the agency's Director chairs the group in his role as DCI, or head of the intelligence community, the CIA is also given a seat.) [H: I realize that you ones who read diligently and regularly are breathlessly waiting to see how the CIA, Mossad, KGB, etc., all hook in with Big Mommy--British Intelligence. I do not wish to get sidetracked herein but be assured--THEY DO SO. And--we shall get there.] IRAC was formed in November 1971, and it is supposed to prepare a consolidated budget for the whole community and generally assure that intelligence resources are used as efficiently as possible. However, it has not been in existence long enough for it to be judged at the writing of this book, especially since three different DCI's have already headed it. (By 1974)
The USIB' s main tasks are the issuance of National Intelligence Estimates and the setting of collection requirements and priorities. Under it are fifteen permanent inter-agency committees and a variety of ad hoc groups for special problems. Working through these committees and groups, the USIB, among other things, lists the targets for American intelligence and the priority attached to each one*, coordinates within the intelligence community the estimates of future events and enemy strengths, controls the classification and security systems for most of the U.S. government, directs research in the various fields of technical intelligence, and decides what classified information will be passed on to foreign friends and allies. **
* Although in a crisis situation, like the implementation of the Arab-Israeli cease-fire in 1970, HENRY KISSINGER or occasionally the President himself may set the standards. In the 1970 case
3 ½ LINES DELETEDINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS SECRET
FROM CONGRESS
**Intelligence reports are routinely provided to certain foreign countries, especially the English-speaking ones, on the basis of so-called intelligence agreements entered into by the DCI and his foreign equivalents. Although these agreements commit the United States government to a specified course of action enforceable under international law, they are never submitted as treaties to the U.S. Senate. In fact, they are negotiated and put into force in complete secrecy, and no member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has ever seen one, even for informational purposes.
The USIB meets every Thursday morning in a conference room on the seventh floor of CIA headquarters. At a typical meeting there are three or four subjects on the agenda, itself a classified document which the USIB secretariat circulates to each member a few days before the meeting. The first item of business is always the approval of the minutes of the last session; in the interest of security, the minutes are purposely made incomplete. Then the USIB turns to the Watch Report, which has been prepared earlier in the week by an inter-agency USIB committee responsible for keeping an eye out for any indication that armed conflict, particularly one which might threaten the United States or any of its allies, may break out anywhere in the world. A typical Watch Report might, in effect, say something like: War between the United States and the Soviet Union does not seem imminent this week, but the Soviets are going ahead with the development of their latest missile and have moved two new divisions into position along the Chinese border; North Vietnamese infiltration along the Ho Chi Minh Trail (as monitored by sensors and radio intercepts) indicates that the level of violence will probably rise in the northern half of South Vietnam; and satellite photos of the Suez Canal (**DELETED**) point to a higher level of tension between Israel and Egypt.
Once the USIB gives its routine assent, the Watch Report is forwarded to the nation's top policy-makers, who normally do not even glance at it, since they know that everything in it of any consequence has already been distributed to them in other intelligence reports. If some apocalyptic sign that war might break out were ever picked up by any agency of the community, the President and his top aides would be notified immediately, and the USIB would not be consulted; but as long as nothing of particular note is occurring, every Thursday morning the USIB spends an average of about thirty seconds discussing the Watch Report (which actually takes several man-weeks to prepare) before it is forwarded to the White House.
Next on the USIB agenda is the consideration and, almost always, the approval of the one or two National Intelligence Estimates which have been completed that week. These estimates of enemy capabilities and future events are drafted in advance by the CIA's National Intelligence Officers and then coordinated at the staff level with the various USIB-member agencies. By the time the estimates come before the USIB itself, all differences have normally been compromised in the inter-agency coordination meetings, or, failing in that accommodation, a dissenting member has already prepared a footnote stating his agency's disagreement with the conclusions or text of the NIE.
INTERACTIONS REVEALING
Once the USIB has approved the estimates before it (now certified as the best judgments of the intelligence community on the particular subject), the board turns to any special items which all the members have the prerogative of placing on the agenda. One Thursday in 1969 the Chief of Naval Intelligence asked the USIB to reconsider a proposal, which had earlier been turned down at the USIB subcommittee level, to furnish the Brazilian navy with relatively advanced American cryptological equipment. Because of the sensitivity of U.S. codes and encrypting devices, exports--even to friendly countries--need the USIB' s approval; the board turned down this particular request. At another meeting in 1970 the special discussion was on whether or not a very sophisticated satellite should be target against the (**DELETED**) part of the (**DELETED**) instead of (**DELETED**). The Air Force's request to (**DELETED**) its satellite came to the USIB under its responsibility for setting intelligence-collection priorities; citing the great cost of the satellite and the possibility that the (**DELETED**) might lead to a malfunction, the USIB said no to the (**DELETED**). In another 1970 meeting the USIB considered a Pentagon proposal to lower the U.S. government research goals for the detection of underground nuclear explosions. Again the USIB said no. The Pentagon claimed that there was not enough money available in its budget to attain the level of detection on the Richter scale set forth in the USIB guidelines, and that relaxing the standard reflected this financial reality. The State Department argued that a changed goal might open the intelligence community to criticism on grounds that it had not done everything possible to achieve a comprehensive nuclear test ban--which would ultimately be dependent on both sides, being confident that cheating by the other party could be detected. DCI Helms sided with State. But the civilian victory was a hollow one, since there was no way the DCI could ensure that the Pentagon would indeed spend more money on seismic research in order to be able to meet the level of detection fixed by the USIB.
On occasion, when extremely sensitive matters are to be discussed, the USIB goes into executive session--the practical effect of which is that all staff members leave the room and no minutes at all are kept. The USIB operated in this atmosphere of total privacy, for instance, for a 1969 discussion of the Green Beret murder case and again in 1970 for a briefing of the Fitzhugh panel's recommendations on the reorganization of Pentagon intelligence. [H: We shall speak of this again in a minute.]
Under DCI Helms, most USIB meetings were finished within forty-five minutes.
