briefed the Working Group on some techniques
which might serve to organize ELINT costs in a form compatible with
the evaluation methodology. Copies of his vue-graph slides are attached
for reference. Ipointed out that certain problem areas had to
be -dentified and resolved before the cost effectiveness figures for the
above illustrations could be established. The problem areas include:
a. Identify collection and processing entities.

g. Determine phasing out costs.
25X1 2, advised that JCS had established four states of
conflict tension: Cold War, General War, Guerrilla Warfare and Limited
War; and suggested that the Working Group may want to adopt these terms
for values in the Group's transform. After a general discussion of their
definitions, it was decided to use three terms (General War, Limited War,
and Cold War) in the transform. At this point, the Chairman suggested
reducing the number of interest levels (National, Theater and Local) from
three to two (National and Theater), as the observables for the Theater
and Local level would appear 'to have approximately the same values.
number of states below twenty seven would reduce the effectiveness of
the transform. The Chairman concurred in maintaining twenty seven
states for the present, and continuing the deliberation on this number
after the intelligence fields are more completely structured.
