MEMORANDUM FOR: The Secretary of Commerce
SUBJECT: Private Sector Involvement Study
in Civil Remote Sensing
On July 25, 1979 the subject unclassified study was circulated in
preparation for the PRC (Space) review on a national remote sensing
system. That review is now complete. Accordingly, the private sector
involvement study should be made publicly available in keeping with the
decision to seek ways to encourage the private sector into civil land
remote sensing.
The Department of Commerce through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration will release the document. Any covering memorandum
should state that the study was only the first step in exploring private
sector interests and that the Administration's goal is the eventual
operation by the private sector of civil land remote sensing activities.
