MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, CIA RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAMS
SUBJECT: FY 1973 Financial Program, FY 1974 Budget,
and FY 1975 through FY 1978 Planning
REFERENCE: CIA BYE-8969-72, ?Dtd 10 March 1972,
Same Subject
The fiscal guidance was established on the basis of a
programmed transfer of a portion of the U-2 fleet to the
Air Force as approved by the ExCom in November 1971. While
the transfer specifics and timing are incomplete, I expect
the Air Force to assume responsibility for the budgeting,
fundng,_, contr_a.c_tjngand supply support for Senior ear
and IDEALIST/Senior Year Common in FY 1974. The changed
estimating responsibility to Director D for the Common
account is a transitional procedure inasmuch as the NRP
budgeted for Common in FY 1973. In the fiscal guidance to
Director D, I specified that he "is to compile and submit,
in cooperation and coordination with CIA/OSA, the IDEALIST/
Senior Year Common estimates." In the context of the fis-
cal guidance, CIA would be the_SPPPO for IDEALIST aircraft
peculiars in FY 1974 and subsequent years but the Air Force
would be the SPO for Senior Year peculiars and the Common
account.
With r4spect to the numbers of U-2R's as a basis for
CIA IDEALIST cost estimates, I have carefully considered
the available aircraft, mission needs, and other require-
ments and have determined that the CIA fleet shoal he
four U-2R's starting in FY 1973.
Accordingly, I cannot approve your recommendation in
paragraph 5 of the reference.
