"If_NPIC had been more definitive in stating exactly what was required could have done the job differently." 2. The original study (PAR 213) is outdated, not complete and not good enough for briefing experts already working in color. (It is historical now; it only shows what work in certain areas has been done.) Il 3. 17-Is not aware that they did a poor job; they duplicated according o their own standards and also printed what they thought NPIC wanted." 4. If NPIC would have stood the expense, IIII would have printed five or six times as many items, then selected those few that would have been closest to the NPIC requirements." and 5. "Any more work required by NPIC will cost additional funds since considers the completed work to be satisfactory under the contract according to their understanding of the requirement." 6. "The briefing material and the study (PAR 213) for general basic information and not presented as an up-to-date study, (as stated in paragraph 2. above)'.' should be used only MI COMMENTS: 25X 25X 1. If we could get to outline "their understanding" of the project, we may find some use for the material (although I doubt this). 2 also leveled a charge that many of the old PARs under were not up to NPIC expectations because so little effort had been made to hammer out the exact details of what was expected, all they got was criticism. From now on all efforts would receive detailedagreements. He said1 lis not like) in which they played the major part in determining feasibility, etc. (It is interesting to note that NPIC long ago had pegged this problem area, but at that time was reluctant to vie as being much different than in-so-far as playing the leading role.)

I don't believe we will gain anything but animosity if we attempt to makelIprovide better materials at no further costs. It would also not be timely since there will probably now be little call for formal briefing of PAR 213. 1 'will stick by the people who made the materials. Even though I'm sure they see some places where they are culpable, they are not going to face with the charge. 4. I don't think the project is worth wasting any more time on; it cost us Even if perfected the briefing material would not be much in demand at this late date.
