Details of CAB 189
Reference: CAB 189
Title: Cabinet Office: Central Intelligence Machinery: Joint Intelligence Committee: Assessments and Notes
Description:

From January 1967, the output of current intelligence in the Red Book (see CAB 179) was augmented with Special Assessments and Notes. Special Assessments addressed important items of immediate interest and Notes covered longer-term matters of less urgency or expanded on topics that had already attracted a Special Assessment. Special Assessments were discontinued effective 30 September 1974 and replaced with Immediate Assessments. This series comprises Special Assessments, Immediate Assessments, Notes and similar products issued by the Joint Intelligence Committee (Joint Intelligence Committee (A ) between 1 January 1969 and 30 September 1974). There is also some similar Rhodesia intelligence for the year 1966.

Date: 1966-1974
Arrangement:

Although the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) became the Joint Intelligence Committee (A) (JIC(A)) effective 1 April 1968, the symbols 'JIC(A)(N)' and 'JIC(A)(SA)' were not taken into use until the beginning of 1969. The reversion of JIC(A) to the JIC designation effective 1 October 1974 was reflected in an immediate readoption of the 'JIC(N)' symbol and the adoption of the new 'JIC(IA)' symbol.
