Rolfe,
Jim. "For Your Eyes Only." New Zealand Defence Quarterly 23 (Summer 1998), 22-24.
This article is on the New Zealand's External Assessment Bureau (EAB), which is responsible for "intelligence assessments on events and trends overseas that may affect New Zealand's interests." The organization was established as the External Intelligence Bureau in 1975, and the name was changed to EAB in 1988. The EAB receives information from New Zealand's intelligence collection agencies, liaison and intelligence sharing arrangements with agencies of friendly countries, diplomatic reporting, and open sources. It is administered by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Includes sidebar "Who Does the Work?" on the backgrounds of individuals working in the Bureau.

Rolfe,
Jim. "The Spycatchers." New Zealand Defence Quarterly 22 (Spring 1998), 7-11.
This article is on the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (SIS), the country's domestic security agency. SIS was established in 1956.
Includes sidebar by Tim Barnett [Labour MP from Christchurch Central], "If Not the SIS, What?" 10. Barnett argues that "[p]arliamentary accountability and independent scrutiny of the SIS remains inadequate." The author believes that "[t]he functions of the SIS should be divided between the police, a reorganized unit in the Prime Minister's Office (incorporating the External Assessments Bureau and fed by the Government Communications Security Bureau), and a security advice unit within another Government department."
Also includes sidebar, "How About the People," which notes that the SIS consists of about 120 people (down from 160 in the early 1980s) divided among three types of employees -- intelligence officers, vetting officers, and specialist officers.

"The criticism of organizational structures and individuals ... does not address the real, and enduring, problem with US intelligence-gathering bodies. The very process of intelligence theory, definition and practice needs to be fundamentally reviewed."

"The Senate responded to Chinese spying [on 27 May 1999] by easily passing legislation to tighten security at U.S. nuclear laboratories.... [T]he Senate adopted a set of proposals by Majority Leader Trent Lott ... that would expand congressional oversight of technology exports and increase Pentagon monitoring of satellite launches in China."

Roman, Peter
J. Eisenhower and the Missile Gap. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University
Press, 1995.
Bose, APSR 92.1, notes that the focus here is on the 1957-1961 period, essentially Sputnik to Kennedy. The book is "well researched" and provides a "thoughtful and considered reappraisal of earlier studies." Intelligence assessments are among the aspects considered, with the author arguing that the evidence supplied by the U-2 flights was not as definitive in contradicting Soviet claims of nuclear superiority as is sometimes thought. However, Roman fails to present a new perspective of Eisenhower's political skills.

"In this world of competitive coexistence our diplomats, our propaganda specialists, and our intelligence officers must suit their methods to the changing opportunities and obstacles of the moment. One of the present opportunities for intelligence collection lies in the increase of contact between Soviet and American citizens."

Under a new intelligence law, "Venezuela’s two main intelligence services, the DISIP secret police and the DIM military intelligence agency, will be replaced with new agencies, the General Intelligence Office and General Counterintelligence Office, under the control" of President Hugo Chávez. The law also "requires people in the country to comply with requests to assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Mr. Chávez. Refusal can result in prison terms of two to four years for most people and four to six years for government employees."

Romich,
Ron. "Daddy, Why Do They Call It Collection Requirements Manglement?"
Defense Intelligence Journal 6, no. 1 (Spring 1997): 23-32.
The portion of the DIA Manual that sets out the procedures for submitting collection requirements is 41 pages long. The result is what the author calls "the format forest." Nevertheless, the presentation here describes the process doctrinally, that is, as it should occur in a perfect world. In this view, the collection manager is "the customer's representative, translator, tutor, advocate, and facilitator."

According to Cohen, FA (Summer 1993), Romm "looks at U.S. drug interdiction policy and the new notions of environmental, energy and economic security, shrugging aside the older, military conception of national security as having declining relevance in the new world.... An expanded article rather than a book..., [the author] expresses an increasingly common view, but not particularly incisively."
