1. (S/NFD) A request has been made to the Chairman, Joiuut Atomic Energy
Intelligence Committee (Enclosure (1)) to establish definitive collection
requirements for Nuclear Intelligence (NUCINT). In addition, I have
requested that the Fleet requirements be defined and prioritized. It
is clear that the Navy must strike a balance between the collection
requirements, the collection capabilities, the analysis resources, and
the collection costs before determining the future direction of the
Navy NUCINT program.
2. (S/NFD) A collection plan for Navy NUCINT will be prepared after the
requirements have been clearly defined. This plan will reflect the Naval
Intelligence position and direction for the next five-year period. To
assist in gaining service approval for this plan, I request that the
requirements formulated by the JAEIC be submitted to the United States
Intelligence Board (USIB) for validation. It is further requested that
any action regarding the designation of the Navy as the responsible
maritime NUCINT organization (reference (a) and (b)) be held in abeyance
pending the completion of the Navy program plan and the USIB requirements
validation for NUCINT.
3. (S/NFD) USIB validation of Nuclear Intelligence requirements will
help ^the_Navy to apply the proper priority to the funding requests and

1. (S/NFD) The Navy Nuclear Intelligence (NUCINT) program received a
thorough review by your committee earlier this year (reference (a)
.refers). In establishing a program that properly balances the cost
of collection with the desired results, I find that definitive
requirements have not been established for Nuclear Intelligence.
2. (S/NFD) Because of your charter to establish these requirements and
your past familiarity with the Navy program, I request that you develop
prioritized definitive national requirements for the collection of NUCINT
data. Guidance should be included that addresses the impact of satisfying
only a part of the. requirements that are formulated. This guidance will
