FROM : Walter Elder
Executive Secretary
SUBJECT : Draft DCID's on NFIB and NFIC
1. Action Requested: That you approve the attached draft DCID's as
suitable for circulation for informal comment.)

There may be a change in the Department of Energy and Department of
Commerce representation, but this is not imminent and can be dealt with
at the appropriate time.F_

will be to provide the principals with a chance to advance their general
views on these and other directives as you invited them to do at the
22 December 1981 Board meeting.)
On the other hand, the drafts introduce no new elements, and they
could be approved and issued as they stand. F1 -

3. Recommendation: That the Executive Secretary circulate the draft
DCID's for formal comment. F_
