MEMORANDUM 'OR: Deputy Director/Intelligence
SUBJECT : NPIC White Paper
N61960 Registsp
The DCI and DDCI have looked at the attached outline, and from
the DCI's comment it would appear that he took "VU" to be a state-
ment of policy. Both Mr. Halms and I feel that the attached outline
is far more inclusive than the DCI intended in his original question
which was related to NPIC'a own projection of their required expansion
in the foreseeable future and the DCI's desire to have a high level
outside group review NPIC's work to see what can be done to cope with
this tremendous expansion. What Admiral Reborn has in mind is
trying to insure that our state of automation keeps even with the increase
in material available. His question posed at the morning meeting
was related to his comment that equipment currently being used is
obsolete and that on order will be rapidly outmoded. He therefore said
he would like answers to the questions: Where do we stand row?
What are we doing about it? What do we foresee for the future?
Thus I feel that the attached outline is far too comprehensive, and the
DCI's questions can be answered much more simply.
