These recommendations of the Board, which are addressed to
Congress, I also strongly endorse.
I. Model fór the National Security Council System
The structure and procedures of the National Security Council
shall incorporate all aspects of the model of the NSC system
described in the Report of the President's Special Review Board
as the Board's principal recommendation. This directive
implements that recommendation in each of the following respects:
-- organizing for national security, including provision of
appropriate guidelines to participants in the NSC process;
-- the role and functions of the Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs;
-- the nature and responsibilities of the NSC staff; and
-- the NSC and interagency process.
A. Organizing for National Security
The National Security Council shall be the principal forum for
consideration of national security policy issues requiring
presidential decision. The function of the NSC shall be as set
forth in the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. Broadly
speaking, the NSC shall advise the President with respect to the
integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating
to the national security so as to enable Executive departments
and agencies to cooperate more effectively in matters involving
the national security.
Participation in the NSC shall be as provided by law and this
Directive. Statutory members of the NSC are the President, the
Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of
Defense. Other heads of Executive departments and agencies and
senior officials within the Executive Office of the President
shall participate in the NSC as provided in this Directive.
The Director of Central Intelligence and the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff are statutory advisors to the NSC. The
Director of Central Intelligence shall advise the NSC with
respect to coordinating intelligence activities of Executive
departments and agencies in the interest of national security and
as otherwise provided by law. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff shall be principal military advisor to the President,
the Secretary of Defense, and the NSC.
