It should be noted that the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is becoming a member of the Intelligence Advisory Committee for the purpose of coordinating domestic intelligence and related matters with foreign intelligence matters, and it is understood that nothing contained in NSCID No. 1, dated July 7, 1949, is intended to affect or change NSC 17/4, “Internal Security,” approved by the President on March 23, 1949. It is also understood that the relationship of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to the Central Intelligence Agency shall be as provided in Section 102 of the National Security Act of 1947.
