IX. Nuclear Energy Intelligence In comparison with other areas of OSI activity, contracting in the area of nuclear energy intelligence was relatively modest up to 1963. OSI efforts in this field were always closely dove-tailed with those of other intelligence community elements that have been tied together through the Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee (JAEIC) of USIB, for which OSI has held and continues as of 1968 to hold chairmanship. Close relationship with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) provided OSI with the best available expert knowledge both from among their own specialists and from AEC contractors External OSI projects in this area of intelligence during the 1950s consisted to a large extent of literature research.
