Reconstruction of the Joint Scientific Intelligence Committee under a New Chairman. 12. We have consulted the Chairman of the Defence Research Policy mmittee regarding the proposals in the Review for reconstructing the Joint Scientific Intelligence Committee under a new Chairman (paragraph 8), and we are in general agreement with the recommendations expressed. We are, however, examining the possibility of obtaining the services of an individual with the necessary qualities and qualifications for the appointment, and the extent of his responsibilities, and we will report to the Chiefs of Staff when these questions have been resolved.
