BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF LT. GEN. JOSEPH F. CARROLL, USAF

PART I-NARRATIVE

Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Carroll is the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. He was appointed to this position by the Secretary of Defense on 1 October 1961. Born in Chicago, Illinois, General Carroll received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. Mary's College, Mundelein, Illinois, in 1933, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree from Loyola University, Chicago, in 1940. He has been a member of the Illinois State Bar Association since 1940.

After working with Swift and Company in Chicago, where he rose to a position as Assistant Sales Manager, General Carroll joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation in October 1940, where he served as a Special Agent in field offices at Memphis and Knoxville, Tennessee, as well as Chicago, Illinois. In May 1944, he was transferred to the Washington Headquarters of the FBI, where he held progressive positions as supervisor in charge of bank robbery and kidnaping matters, Chief of the Criminal Section, and first assistant to the Assistant Director of the FBI in charge of the General Investigations and Accounting Division. At the termination of World War II, the government was faced with the problem of disposition of war surplus property throughout the world. Upon special request from the Administrator of the Surplus Property Administration, General Carroll was loaned by the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI to the Surplus Property Administration (later the War Assets Administration). In this assignment he organized and directed the Compliance Enforcement Division, directing all investigative activity associated with surplus property disposal. In May 1947, he was recalled to his former position in the FBI as an Adminis trative Assistant to the Director of the FBI.

When the U.S. Air Force was established as a separate Executive Department in September 1947 by the National Security Act, the Secretary of the Air Force requested FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to loan General Carroll to the Services to organize an Air Force Agency for investigative and counterintelligence functions. He organized and directed this new organization, the Office of Special Investigations. Since this was a military operation, General Carroll was tendered a commission as a Colonel, U.S. Air Force Reserve, on 12 January 1948. He was ordered to active duty in the grade of Brigadier General on 6 May 1948, and promoted to Major General on 11 August 1950.

On 29 January 1952, by special act of Congress, he was integrated into the Regular Air Force in the grade of permanent Colonel, and on 7 April 1954, was promoted to permanent Brigadier General in the Regular Air Force.

From the time of his entry on active duty on 6 May 1948, General Carroll served as the first Director of the Office of Special Investigations, creating and organizing this centrally directed investigative service, establishing district offices to service the air commands in the United States, and furnishing trained specialists to Air Force activities world-wide for the conduct of special investigations.

On 6 September 1950, he was appointed Deputy Inspector General for Security, USAF. In this assignment he was responsible for the security and physical protection of Air Force installations and activities against sabotage, espionage, and other hostile threats. In this capacity, he directed the Office of Special Investigations, the office of The Provost Marshal, USAF, and was responsible for all security plans and policy for the U.S. Air Force.

On 1 April 1958, General Carroll was appointed Deputy Commander (Rear), United States Air Forces in Europe, with duty station at Wiesbaden, Germany. He served in that capacity until November 1959 when under a Command reorganization he was named Chief of Staff, United States Air Forces in Europe, remaining in this position until 1 February 1960, when he was promoted to Lieutenant General and became The Inspector General, USAF, until his present assignment as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

He was promoted to permanent Major General on 7 March 1961.

He has been awarded the Legion of Merit with one Oak Leaf Cluster and the Distinguished Service Medal.

You have a prepared statement?

TESTIMONY OF LT. GEN. JOSEPH F. CARROLL, USAF, DIRECTOR OF THE DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

General CARROLL. Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Senator STENNIS. I will be glad for you to read it, General.
General CARROLL. Thank you, sir.

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, I am Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Carroll, U.S. Air Force, and am presently assigned as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. The mission assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency is to provide intelligence support to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to unified commanders of combat forces in the field, and to the military departments; and to coordinate and supervise those intelligence functions retained by the military departments. The principal objectives of the Defense Intelligence Agency are to

(a) Unify Department of Defense intelligence efforts.

(6) Strengthen Department of Defense capabilities for collecting, producing, and disseminating intelligence.

(c) Insure efficient allocation of Department of Defense intelligence resources.

(d) Provide more effective management of DOD intelligence activities.

(e) Eliminate duplication.

The Defense Intelligence Agency, under the direction and operational control of its Director is responsible for—

(a) The organization, direction, management, and control of all Department of Defense intelligence resources assigned to or included within the DIA.

(b) Review and coordination of those Department of Defense intelligence functions retained by or assigned to the military departments. Overall guidance for the conduct and management of

such functions will be developed by the Director, DIA, for review, approval, and promulgation by the Secretary of Defense. (c) Supervision of the execution of all approved plans, programs, policies, and procedures for intelligence functions not assigned to DIA.

(a) Obtaining the maximum economy and efficiency in the allocation and management of Department of Defense intelligence resources. This includes analysis of those DOD intelligence activities and facilities which can be fully integrated or collocated with non-DOD intelligence organizations.

(e) Satisfying the intelligence requirements of the major components of the Department of Defense.

Defense Intelligence Agency at the present time furnishes all DOD current intelligence and early warning information. It assembles, integrates, and validates all DOD collection requirements and produces all DOD intelligence estimates in support of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense. Personnel and other resources of the military services and the Director of Intelligence of the Joint Staff previously involved in the performance of these activities have been transferred to the Defense Intelligence Agency.

A full description of the functions, authorities, and responsibilities assigned to the Defense Intelligency Agency is set forth in the Department of Defense Directive 5105.21, dated August 1, 1961, which established the Defense Intelligence Agency. Copies of this directive have been provided to this committee.

Defense Intelligence Agency is developing on an evolutionary basis, effecting close coordination with the military departments and the Joint Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to assure no degradation of vital intelligence functions during this transition period.

I receive my guidance from the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff acting under the authority and direction of the Secretary of Defense, and the U.S. Intelligence Board. The chain of command runs from the Secretary of Defense through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Director, DIA.

Mr. Chairman, I understand that the purpose of this committee isto study and appraise the use of military personnel and facilities to arouse the public to the menace of the cold war and to inform and educate armed services personnel of the nature and menace of the cold war *

While DIA is in an evolutionary stage of development and while we are primarily concerned with foreign intelligence, I shall be happy to undertake to answer any questions within my competence. Mr. Chairman, that completes my statement.

PURPOSE OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

Senator STENNIS. General, if I may, I will ask you just a few questions here, based somewhat on my background of experiences on the Armed Services Committee and some on the Appropriations Committee, to bring into focus from the standpoint of the legislative branch of the Government your new and highly important assignment.

You are the creation now of this particular function and office that you hold which is an attempt by the Department of Defense to bring more unification under one head for our various intelligence agencies and services, the problems it receives, is that right? Correct it, now.
