Some indication has been given that the recent ABC Intelligence conference was the last of its kind to be held, but the acceptance by the three participating teams of the need for revision of Part II of ABCI 15 presupposes Canadian participation in future bi-partite discussions. Consequently, it is important that the J..I.C. should undertake preliminary studies leading to the development of a programme which will enable Canadian national intelligence to play its full part by the tabling of its ovm appreciations in future international discussions. 2. In envisaging such a programme, three steps or phases emergej first, accomplishment of the vulnerability study now under wayj second, determination of the date by which the Soviet leaders may consider themselves to be in a position to fulfil their aim bf establishing v/orld communism by means of warj third, assessment of capabilities and intentions of the U.S.S.R. in (the date evolved in the second step). It might be possible to combine steps 2 and 3 in one study, and for this reason it is considered that any contemplated revision of Part I should be deferred until Part II has been completed. 3. In view of these considerations, the J.I.C. propose to take action along the lines indicated herein, subject to approval by the Chiefs of Staff Committee of a programme designed to strengthen Canada's position in future international intelligence talks. This will require, as the first step, initiation of revision of Part II of ABCI. 15 as an urgent national intelligence requirement. E.F.
