process. As you will note, the Directorate of Administration has been
tasked to develop a long-term forecast of the "Support Capabilities" which
will be needed through the rest of. this decade. Basically, this will in
volve an analysis of the already approved papers on "Intelligence, Opera-
tional, and Scientific/Technical Capabilities" to determine their impact
on our Directorate. We will add to this analysis an evaluation of what.
future capabilities we will need for certain categories of support. which
are either separate budget targets or are substantial stand-alone issues
within the support infrastructure. A DA Planning Team will consolidate
your contributions into a long-term DA strategy paper entitled, "Support
Capabilities" which will be presented to EXCOM for approval in mid-November.
2. The following papers, approved by.EXCOM, identify the collection,
processing, analytical, and operational capabilities which will be needed
over the next ten years:

Each addressee should submit a comprehensive analysis of the impact on
their operation which would result from the activities outlined in the
.above papers. In preparing your analysis, you should address each item
which has resource implications for your component. You should also,
wherever possible, present innovative and imaginative schemes for support-
ing these requirements and how .you intend to integrate these schemes into
your operation. Copies of the above documents are being transmitted under
separate cover this date. Attachment A lists the format for your submission.
3. The following Directorate components should prepare additional
papers on the subjects listed:
Component Subject
OC Communications 1982/1992
SSA DA Support to Operations Overseas
ODP ADP Equipment/Services 1982/1992
IHSA IH Strategic Plan
OL Logistics Support 1982/1992
OS Security Support 1982/1992
OTE Training Support 1982/1992
.In preparing these papers, you should not duplicate the information re-
quested in paragraph 2. Rather, the above papers should review our current
capabilities and management plans and. focus on the need for significant change
or improvement. Each paper should cover broad issues which are likely to be
of continuing long-term management- concern. They should not be resource in-
tensive and simply request additional manpower and funds. They should attempt
to present innovative and imaginative concepts for meeting future requirements
and improving the support infrastructure. Attachment B lists various topics
which should be included.
4. To reduce the manpower burden, we will not ask each Office to pro-
vide a representative to the Planning Team mentioned in the opening para-
graph. However, each DA component should appoint an individual to serve as
a focal point for this project. The name of your appointee should be pro-
vided to by 21 September. The individual'you select will be
responsible or coordination between the Planning Team and your Office and
will sit with the Planning Team for those meetings at which your component's
papers are reviewed.

5. This process presents an excellent opportunity for this
Directorate to focus on new ways to'provide for our customers' future
requirements and needs. The direction and goals which result. from this
exercise should provide the thrust for responsive, innovative,. and timely
support to Agency operations over the, next decade. Therefore, your
personal involvement, ideas, and guidance are essential. We must explore
a wide range of options. and develop a broad-based, long-term strategy.
When the Directorate plan has been approved by EXCOM, it will be turned
over to the Executive Director's Planning Staff. This Staff will combine
our input with that of the other Directorates and prepare an Agency ten-
year strategic plan. The Agency strategic plan is expected to provide
.guidance for the formulation of the Agency's program and budget for the
