in a month to six weeks The study should -- Describe how estimates are now produced including the collection of data analysis and the preparation and dissemination of finished estimates -- Assess shortcomings in the present process especially the degree to which they impose constraints on policy-makers or do not serve their needs -- Survey means to overcome the shortcomings ·including new methods of data collection more resources improved analytical techniques better organization to safeguard objectivity establishing competing sources of estimates etc -- Evaluate the potential improvements their probable payoffs their likely cost and· any special sensitivities or problemsa -- Recommend future actions Because of the short time available and the bureaucratic and political sensitivities involved the study is to be kept within the White House staff NSC has been selected to chair the Working Group Participation from CEA CIEP and 0MB is desired Inputs from all relevant departments and agencies are to be obtained wherever feasible CIA CONFIDENTIAL -
