New Communications Support Requirements for
FY 1983 - FY 1987
Your Memorandum, Same Subject, dtd. 11 August
1980 (DD/A 80-1492/2)
1. The reference requests prioritized communications sup-
port requirements for FY 1983 - FY 1987. Attachment B is the
formal ODP response on the required forms. As requested, we have
included the following: A description of the ODP requirement;
the justification; the time span for the required communications
support; and the impact of not receiving the requested OC sup-
port. We have also provided the requested ODP prioritization for
use in the Directorate ranking.
2. In prioritizing our requirements, we have chosen to
emphasize key new initiatives (e.g., CAMS2) and support of
existing services over expanding and improving current
services. We further emphasized near-term requirements versus
out-year requirements. As you well know, any ranking of this
type must be considered tentative, and useful in only the most
general sense. For example, any sub-requirement, such as
relocation of a group of terminals, may under certain
circumstances assume a very high priority. With this in mind, a
summary of ODP requirements in priority order is presented in
Attachment A.
