SUBJECT: Terms of Reference for the National/Tactical
Interface Study
1. I've read the Terms of Reference for the National/Tactical
Interface Study, and the attached paper on "The Nature of National/
Tactical Interface." I'd like to express my keen interest in this
study and offer to participate enough to be of assistance but not
interference with the progress of it.
2. To begin with, I'd appreciate knowing who is actually going
to be doing the work of the study.
3. I was concerned with paragraph 6c. of the Terms of Reference.
It seems to me you could read 6c.(1) to say the study should be devel-
oping tactical concepts of employing tactical intelligence systems.
'It seems to me that is beyond the bounds of the study and properly a
matter for the Department of Defense. Similarly, paragraph 6c.(2)
talks about determining requirements for tactical intelligence which
seems to be beyond the scope of this interface issue.
4. Basically, my concerns are that the study cover two points:
a. How we insure that the tactical spilloff from
national collection systems is made available to the
proper tactical. commanders.
