TOP SECRET THE COMMITTEE:(1) Invited the Acting Director of Military Intelligence to reply to the letter from the member of the United States Joint Intelligence Group in the light of their discussion. THE COMMITTEE then discussed generally the date at which it would be most appropriate for Part II of the Combined Appreciation to be discussed between representatives of the countries concerned. It was pointed out that the lack of an agreed Part II of the Combined Appreciation was already having a hampering effect on long term planning and would also affect the intelligence required for the Standing Group and Regional Groups of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
