SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY PANEL '
Principal Functions
1. To recommend initiatives and introduce new
thinking on ways to provide early warning
of significant SETT developments.
2. To recommend new directions and emphases in
SF,T collection, processing, and production;
as well as to recommend changes in alloca-
tions of resources, both manpower and money.
3. To serve as a quality control mechanism; an
outside source for objective evaluation of
national substantive SET analysis.
4. To provide new linkages and interactions be-
tween the intelligence and non-intelligence
communities.
5. To assist in interdisciplinary studies; par-
ticularly those broad or new subjects
that do not fit neatly into existing struc-
tures.
6. To review evidence on existing SF,T intelli-
gence "enigmas" and to suggest avenues for
solving these unknowns.
