five points contained in his memorandum of 25 May 1970.
9. Mr.=told the IHC members that the TETRAHEDRON Plan
is a draft plan, that it needs to be improved and embellished.

opportunity for information exchange within the Washington area.
However, NSA is going to need help from the IHC and the other
community agencies in its development. Mr. said his
covering memorandum contained five additional items needed to
make the TETRAHEDRON plan more complete. He listed them as:
(1) a description of community user needs; (2) a description of
the existing communication systems available in the community;
(3) approaches to satisfying the described needs, to include systems
to be augmented and/or replaced; (4) an estimate of the schedule
and cost, what R&D may be needed, and the possible sources of these
funds, and (5) a recommended course of action.
10. Mr. - said CIA see advantages for iteself and
the rest of the community in the project, but he has reservations
on what CIA is committed to in the future. He wondered why NPIC

seem rather sterile to me, and prime him a
little before this subject comes up again.
