MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Research and Development
Review Board
SUBJECT: Categories of Agency Research and
Development
1. At the RDRB meeting on 12 February, it was requested
that an attempt be made to categorize the Agency research and
development effort under headings denoting end objectives. It
was found that the TSD has the most extensive and diverse
listing of projects--this being necessitated by the large
number and varied objectives of contracts which they let and
monitor. OEL, Commo, and NPIC had narrow limits to their
listings--a reflection of their channelized interests; ORD
is, as a matter of organization, categorizing its projects
and monies under scientific areas.
2. The attached is submitted as a first effort to pro-
duce categories for an Agency-wide index of projects. Some
t
categories are narrow and will contain projects funded a
only a few thousand dollars; these need to be identified
separately if they are not to be lost in association with
25X1D more costly and heavily funded items.
In addition, the detail
shown would make the listing useful for the withdrawal of
information for answers to questions such as:
How much is the Agency spending on audio
surveillance as compared to counter-audio?
How much in each category for basic studies,
applied research or engineering development?
How much in FY 64 and FY 65?
Do these amounts include related power
sources,

.3. Some combining of categories will be possible as
the data is developed and used; the.work done for RDRB to
date demonstrates that any initial master listing should
contain at least the detail shown. Further usage will
..result in additions, deletions, and changes to develop the

on 2 April to provide guidance for future work.
