Within the Department of State, the CIA paper and Dulles’ covering memorandum were distributed by Armstrong to Murphy, Bowie, Rountree, Elbrick, and Wilcox under cover of a note by Armstrong. The note explained that the Intelligence Advisory Committee intended each week to consider papers, such as the one attached, on situations believed to be critical which did not involve possible Soviet military action against the United States, its allies, or overseas bases. The note also indicated that the papers were not fully coordinated among the interested agencies, but any substantial dissents by IAC members were noted in the paper. A copy of Armstrong’s covering note is attached to the source text, which is Rountree’s copy.
