MEMORANDUM FOR: D/Office of Research and Development

D/Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center
SUBJECT: Contract Proposals
REFERENCE: Memo from Executive Officer, DD/S&T dated 3 March 66
1. As a result of the experience described in Reference, copy
attached, it will be necessary for all future contract proposals
going through the contract approval system to contain a section, or
sections, which express clearly and in non-technical language the fol-
lowing three things:
a. The task to be performed.
b. The need for the task which is to be performed, and
c. The product to be delivered, i.e. a report, hardware,
increase in knowledge, etc. The product must be expressed in clear,
non-technical language.
2. Although the foregoing applies particularly to contract pro-
posals going to the 7th floor for approval, it will also apply to
those not requiring 7th floor approval. You will note from the
attachment that, pending the issuance of a new DD/S&T Instruction on
this subject, this Staff has been instructed to return for re-drafting
contract proposals which do not respond clearly to this requirement.
