the extensive use of the SIGINT objectives outlined in the National SIGINT
Plan (NSP) in the development of the FY 77-81 CCPOP and indicated that

5. In appropriations, the FY 77 program reflects increases in Pro-
curement, RDT&E, Operations and Maintenance and Construction. On the
other side of the coin, military and civilian pay reflects a significant per-
centage decrease of the program total (see chart 6).

- Treasury/CIA. Expressed concern about the lack of attention
to "economic intelligence". The discussion indicated that NSA is attempting
to cope with this problem. They have already increased personnel
assigned on the problem due to its high interest. Gen Allen
indicated s keenly aware of the interest in economic intelligence
and they were at what he termed a "prudent level of effort" based. on
the definition of requirements given NSA.
n about the problems faced with,
ransmission capability. Particular interest.
was indicated on how NSA would cover the beam(s) for Latin America
and Europe. Gen Allen indicated that NSA was well aware of the problems
I I on future could cause, however, they did 25X1
not know exactly how and w ere they would be employed, therefore, NSA
could not put a firm requirement for additional ground station collection
capability in the Program . He indicated that he would address the
possible requirement in his covering memo to the ASD(I) of a need for
an $18.OM over-guidance item, s 25X1
problem.
CIA also ex ressed concern about the linguists problem,
primarily linguists. NSA indicated that they recognize
the language problem and they are endeavoring to get a better handle
on it and to identify and recruit personnel with required linguistic skills.
- State. Expressed concern over the timing of the HF modernization
program and the sites now programmed for remoting. Gen Allen indicated
that he was keenly aware of the "current" world political problem and that
they were working in accordance with the guidance from ASD (I) .
- OMB. Indicated that they see a problem in FY 76 for HF
modernization, because they were unaware of firm plans for the program.
Gen Allen advised that the program was on track and that they had received
a letter from Dr. Hall which provided specific tasks and milestones. (A
copy of the ASD (I) letter is at Tab A for your information.)

Secondly, they raised the question of visibility and consider-
ation of the SIGINT Direct and SIGINT-related resources in Program II,
(General Purpose), , as well as those in Program VI (RDT&E) and Program. VIII
(Training). This was the standard OMB pitch of having the DIRNSA
address all SIGINT resources. OMB indicated that the DIRNSA should
make recommendations to the MILDEPS regarding sizing, employment
training, etc., prior to the Services developing their programs. Gen Allen
advised that he thought it was the responsibility of the MILDEPS to size
their forces in Program II and he would then review for technical require-
ments and employment.
- IC Staff. asked what action had been taken
regarding the ASD guidance to expand the effort against Latin America.,
indicated that no action had been taken to augment the
Latin American coverage. then asked if ASD (I) had in
mind specific areas and requirements tor Latin American coverage. Mr.
ASD (I) , indicated no specific target, but that there was a need to
relook at the targets and their intelligence possibility.
indicated that the IC Staff was interested in following trie progress a
results of any review of the Latin American problem.
