MEMORANDUM FOR COLONEL JACK LEDFORD
DIRECTOR, PROGRAM B, NRO
SUBJECT: F.Y. 1966 thru 1971 Program Cost Estimates
The Secretary of Defense schedule for calendar year
1965 requires that estimates for FY 1966 thru 1971 be
developed and submitted earlier than last year's schedule.
Accordingly, it is necessary that the FY 1966 program
recommendations from your directorate be submitted by not
later than 1 May 1965, and the FY 1967 thru 1971 estimates
by not later than 15 May 1965. Detailed guidance, instruc-
tions and considerations for the formulation of these cost
estimates are reflected in the attachments.

1.1. IMLEtaste_MIAL11211.
1. Summaries of amounts and projects included in the FT 1966
owu/
President's budget estimate re furnished to your directorate
under date of 19 Jan 1965, in These were
intended to be a guide to y ornce, max lot in any way
to be a program approval for F.Y. 1966 actions. Requirements
and costs must be redefended and re-examined preparatory to
tne issuance of F.Y. 1966 program approvals by end-JUne.
Accordingly, it can net be considered that if the President's
budget included certain costs for a project, that this amount
is automatically available. Programs aud costs from in
effect a zero base, must be submitted.
2. This year, there will not be a specification of target
amounts for a basic budget* plus an addendum budget. This
does not mean that program approvals will significantly
exceed anticipated budget availabilities, but is merely an
easier administrative device. In this connection, you will not
need to distinguish between accounts on as expenditure basis
and an obligation basis, as was requested last year. All
project cost recommendations for F.Y. 1966 will be on an
obligation basis.
3. The cost estimates for Oxcart and ldalist are to be
prefaced by specific program assumptions behind the estimates,
such as planned numbers of flights, training and operational
distinctions, program objectives, planned equipment changes,
etc. This should be similar to the data furnished last year,
but amplified and made more meaningful in relation to the cost
estimates. For example, last year your program information
furnished data on flying hours in some detail, but you sub-
sequently indicated that flying hours were not a direct basis
for the cost estimates.
4. Experience gained during F.Y. 1964 and 1965 must be con-
sidered in developing your F.Y. 1966 program recommendations.
For instance, the program objectives in both years for flying
hours and missions turned out to be overly-optimistic. This
meant that initial estimates, particularly for support items,
were overstated (such as Oxcart fuel). Also, in both years
it developed that Airframe Service Contract costs were
initially over-stated to a sizeable extent, while in FY 1965
the Engine Support costs were understated.
5. Specific details required in the program
are as follows:

as logical progressions from FY 1966 and 1967 recommended
programs, explanation of significant cost deviations in any
year, and summaries of considerations involved in arriving at
