MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
Assistant Deputy Director for Science and
Technology
SUBJECT : Animal Program
1. The attached report and supporting documents were
prepared in response to a Bureau or the Budget request which was
subsequently cancelled. You asked that we forward the draft
study for your information and background. 1 have rirriewed both
the report and the program carefully since its inception and
must state that the role played by the various elements of the
Agency throughout this three-year period has been erratic and
Inconsistent. It is greatly to the credit of the technical officers
involved in these projects that they were able to surpass the
technical objectives of t,he program.
2. For the record, it should be noted that the objective*
ot this program were developed in response to the DD/P's letter
to the DON in 1983. There has been a recent decision on the
part of management to discontinue this program. We have taken
the appropriate steps to comply, although you should know that in
my view the concepts and objectives as stated in 1963 are even
more valid than they were at the time the program was initiated.
3. I hope you will have the time to read at leant portions
of this report because I believe it indicates the Agency's Inability
at least in some areas. to define its requirements or indeed to make
use of R&D once it is developed. Obviously this represents the
worst kind of waste in terms of manpower and money.

4. I would like to discuss this program with y at your
earliest convenience since we must undertake plume -out operation;
as quickly as possible. I would also like to use this as a basis for
policy guidance with respect to other programs in the life sciences
which I hape are still cordite* with the objectives of the Director.
I have marked with a red tab the memoranda in the 1180111Z which I
believe will be of the most interest to you.
