Dear Joan -

In looking over the recent intelligence reports sent to me, I suddenly
realized that Intelligence still is operating without true direction.

Here is the way, Intelligence is now.

1. We become aware or a possible source or antagonism.

2. We clip, gather and cross-index file all the data we get on this
source or antagonism, being careful to open and establish a file for
every individual connected and every organization connected.

3. Then we look over the files and select the biggest one

4. Then we take a look at who we have or what organization we have. If
we have an organization we look for who -

5. Now we investigate the person like mad

We did this with the people who were giving us trouble - we found The
National Mental Health Association and a lead line off into banking
and into the airforce - we haven't looked at who in banking or at who
in the airforce - we may find futher [sic] cross-connections and come
up with ONE PERSON.

This is what should be happening -

Further, vital reports are not coming through - I know more about what
is happening than is reported to me from the Guardian's. Office

Love,

MarySue
