Navy
 
Captain C. E. Lambe, R.N, Deputy Director of Plans, Admiralty
 
Army
 
Lieut. Colonel G. K. Bourne

COMBINED INTELLI GENCE.
 
         6.    The arrangements for production of complete intelligence to serve the Planning Staffs
are of great importance and we suggest that this matter should either be referred to the Combined
Planning Staffs for report or considered by the Combined Chiefs of Staff at their next meeting.
 
7.    We have here representatives of the Joint Intelligence Committee
in London and these are available to work in conjunction with any organization the United States
Chiefs of Staff may desire.
 
PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATION.
 
         8.    In our view, the Combined Chiefs of Staff should settle the broad programme of
requirements based on strategic policy. We suggest that it will be the duty of the Combined
Planning Staffs, advised by appropriate Allocation Officers, to watch, on behalf of the Combined
Chiefs of Staff, the production programmes and to bring to notice instances where output does
not conform to strategic policy.
 
        9.    Similarly, the Combined Chiefs of Staff should fromm time to time issue general
directives laying down policy to govern the distribution of available weapons of war. Effect
should be given to these directives by appropriate Combined Allocation Committees. These would
meet periQdically and make both long-term allocations (on which planning and training of forces
must be based),, and short-term allocations to meet immediate military needs.
 
       10.    The British representatives on the appropriate Combined Allocation Committees will
for the present be-
 
                                                                        -- 2 --
