2. Functions
   The General functions of the Assistant Director for National Estimates are two: (A) Estimative; (B) Coordinative.
   1. Estimative Functions
      1. Suggest to the Director of Central Intelligence amendments and additions to the schedule of priorities set by IAC and carry out any schedule of priorities as cleared by IAC to the extent of (a) alerting the IAC agencies to the accepted schedule of priorities and sudden changes which may be made therein, (b) assigning responsibilities within IAC agencies, (c) programming in consideration of the workload of the IAC agencies, and (d) setting and maintaining deadlines.

      2. Initiate estimates: (a) by direction of the IAC or (b) by direction of the Director of Central Intelligence or his deputy, or (c) by his own decision pending clearance in CIA and/or IAC, or (d) at the suggestion of representatives of the IAC agencies pending clearance in CIA and IAC.

      3. Direct the production of estimates through the establishment of appropriate interdepartmental arrangements. This will involve:
         1. Drafting the terms of reference for any given estimate.

         2. Calling a meeting of representatives of the IAC agencies concerned in the production of the estimate at hand.

         3. Discussing and fixing at such meetings the final terms of reference.

      5. Be responsible for all evaluative comment on items of current intelligence which are circulated by CIA outside the Agency. (It is assumed that responsibility for evaluations on Office of Special Operations raw intelligence will rest with the Office of Special Operations so long as the evaluations are confined to the probable reliability of the source.)

      6. Direct the operation of a current intelligence staff which will support the above functions and which will continue the issuance of the Daily Summary.

      7. Provide for oral briefings and presentation service for the Agency.
