The CHAIRMAN replied 1n the att1rmat1ve. adding that it might be unwise to arrive at a position at the COMINT lnel mi.ch vu not in line vith the thinking ot the President and the Secretaries ot State and Detenee.

In the ensuing discussian it vu brought out that the Under Secret.arr ot State was familiar vi.th th• •ituaticm 'b1' virtue ot hie recent chairmanship ot USCIB, and that the Preaidct, mile Suprse Allied Coaander in Europe, had besi aware of the problem; hOWTer. it vu agreed that the problem would be new to the Secretaries or State and Defense.

MR. GODEL asked 1.f the Chairman had in mind a tormal or an intonaal approach to the Secretaey ot Dettn••·

The CHAlRMAN replied that ·either would be satistactoey, suggesting that it might be beat to discuss the matter informal.ll' with the President and the two secretaries after a meeting ot the NSC. He said that, it such were dcme, USCIB's recommendaticms in the matter would undoubted}T be requested. Accordingq, he suggested that a briet ~the probl• be prepared tor possible use in thie regard.

It vu suggested that such a paper ehould be prepared b;r th9 Executive Coma:l.ttee.

GENERAL CANINE, ccmmenting upcn the problem raised b7 the Chairman, said that he had somnhat d:l.tterent view. He pointed out that there was no u.s. COMS.EC Boe.rd in existence and that USCIB had taken cert.ain actiODB to preYeat a vacuum in the C<JISBC tield - such actions being taken not u an inherent responsibility, but as a responsibillt7 througb detault. He recalled that an attempt had been made in the past to have the poliq questicn of OOMIHT Yersue C<JISEC resolved b,y' NSC decieicn; boweYer8 the NSC had expressed its duire to canBider each specilic case on it• merits. He concluded b;y stating bis opinicn that USCIB wu not the !inal authori t7 in C<JtSBC matters.

In repq- to the Cbaiman's inqui.17, GmlERAL CANINE said that his com.mte should not be construed as an objection to the suu•ted procedure. He MN]T wanted to auggnt 1 h• said, that thoee mo were to be brieted be told that the Board vu not the final U.S. COKSE.C authority, and, canaoquentq, was acting in an ad hoc eapacit7.

GmEIUL CilB:LL suggested that the membership of a UoSo COMSEC Board should parallel that ot USCIB, thue "l'labl.ing the aa. .-,ere to act. witb authorit7 in ei.thM" of the two fields and awiclini the neceeait7 o! USCIB acting u a "special pleader" men it presents security problems to the NSC.
