Reinhardt J Director, International Communication 12 /3 Agency Dear 14r. Ambassador: As you are aware, we have been developing an inventory of issues facing your Agency as it attempts to carry out the mission defined by the President in his March 13, 1978, memorandum.

However, after careful con- sideration of how to best do this, we have decided to wait until the Agency has had further time to solve some of these issues. We do not plan, therefore, to proceed further on this subject at this time. We are pleased to hear from your staff members that our recent suggestions have helped the Agency in addressing its problems. We continue to believe that the following matters, noted during our efforts thus far, merit special attention on the part of the Agency as it continues to improve its program and organization. 1. A clearer definition to Agency personnel and to the American public of the mission of the new Agency and of the latter's identity in the general framework of the Government. 2. A sharper delineation, to USICA officers and to outside participants, of tne so-called second mandate, by which the Agency is to help Americans to understand 007916 B-118654
