WEEKLY ACTIVITIES & STATUS REPORT FOR THE DD/ICS--15 April 1986
CIPC Organizational Activities
? The TOR for the NFIP Support to Contingency Operations and Intelligence
Support to SDI studies have been forwarded to the CIPC members for their
review and concurrence. Their responses are due on 18 April and 21 April
1986, respectively.
? Attached for your information is a copy of the CSEM requirements document
that was prepared by OIT.
OIT has been very generous with their services. They have provided
this requirement document free of charge--it normally would have cost
$15-20,000. Also, they have made available for our use an IBM PC to
develop a prototype CSEM model--another savings.
I strongly support their recommendation that we use a phased approach
in implementing CSEM's capabilities.
There are two primary actions that still need to be accomplished in
order to enhance the acceptance and understanding of CSEM. They are:
A critique of CSEM by a Community technical review team. Willi
is presently establishing a team to undertake this activity.
Of paramount importance in the need for a programmer to develop
the software to create a prototype model and demonstrate proof
of concept; that is, produce products (in various forms) that
managers can readily use to make decisions.

WEEKLY ACTIVITIES & STATUS REPORT FOR THE DD/ICS--15 April 1986
Until recentTy, programming assets were not available unless we were
prepared to fund them--approximately $25,000. However, we have now
overcome this obstacle. The Career Trainee Program has made
available to us (4-5 weeks) a CT- -with a degree in
Computer Science to accomplish this task. Ray met with Mark on
15 April. He will review the CSEM material and will let us know by
the end of the week if he wants to undertake the programming project.
If everything materializes as planned, we will have a workable CSEM
model within one-two months, at no extra cost to the CIPC or ICS.
Moreover, when the tasks identified above have been completed, and we
can demonstrate what CSEM can/cannot do, we will be able to ascertain
if we want to proceed further in its development. I'm very
optimistic. The more we become acquainted with CSEM the greater
potential we see in it.
Still no word on
next week.
hopefully we will hear something

? The terms of reference (TOR) have been forwarded to CIPC members.
Preparations are under way for the first meeting of the working group,
where we want to ensure there is a common understanding of what is called
for in the TOR and that progress is maintained to complete the study by
its due date--two months from the date the TOR is approved.
NFIP Support for Contingency Operations -
? The China follow-up is still proceeding very smoothly. Rich has drafted a
strawman version of the report and forwarded it to the task force members
on 9 April. The task force met on 14 April and agreed on the main
substantive ponts presented. Although a few additional written inputs are
outstanding, Rich should be able to complete the drafting by the end of
the month without additional meetings.

brought Richard and Carlos up to
date on the ICS-SDIO relationship and the PPS plan to complete the work on
the SDIO requirements by June. Carlos explained how he envisions the CIPC
study proceeding and all agreed that there was no inherent conflict between
the two efforts. PPS seemed impressed with Carlos's deter
tackle the tough issues and Carlos welcomed their offer of
assistance once the working group gets under way.
? The TOR for this study has been completed and will be forwarded for your
review within the next couple of days.
- Tony plans to convene the working group on 24 April to initiate this
study effort.
- We have scheduled this project to be completed by the end of July 1986.
