SUBJECT Permanent Panels, Technical Coordinating
Committee
1. This supplements my memorandum of the same subject
dated 26 May by establishing nine additional Panels of the
Technical Coordinating Committee. Under the guidance of the
Technical Coordinating Committee, the Panels will maintain a
continuous overview of the area assigned to them and will be
prepared at any time to produce for the Committee and the R&D
Board, a comprehensive status report of their area of
responsibility, including:
A.
A statement of long-range technical objectives.
B.
An inventory and assessment of current capa-
bility within the Agency.
C.
An
inventory
programs.
of on-going and programmed R, D & E
D.
An
evaluation
of the adequacy of these programs
to include:
(1) Existing technologic opportunities which
should be but are not currently funded or
programmed.
(2) Limiting technologic gaps for which no
solution is currently foreseen.
(3) Identification and explanation of desirable
redundancies which may exist in the program.
(4) Identification of programs which are
unnecessarily duplicative.
(5) Identification of policy, political or,
internal organizational problems, which
limit the effectiveness of the program.
E. Recommended actions and programs.
2. I would like the first report from each of these
Panels submitted to the Chairman of the TCC by 28 July 1972.
Thereafter the Panels should maintain an updated copy of
their status report in the office of the Technical
Coordinating Committee chairman.
