Before beginning the formal agenda,
briefed the Board on a memorandum which the Office has received concerning
approval of R&D expenditures. It was pointed out that since the demise
of the Projects Review Committee there has been no formal review of
our R&D projects outside the Office. The memorandum mentioned above
is signed by the DDCI; it is in tentative form and will presumably be
issued in final form after comments from the offices affected are
received. It is addressed to DRD/P, DD/I, DD/S&T, and DD/S. Briefly it
proposes the following:
a. The annual preparation of R&D programs shall be coincident
to the formulation of the Financial Plan (Operating Budget). Review
of these programs will be undertaken by the Deputy Director concerned,
in concert with the Comptroller.
b. R&D projects and contracts as listed below require prior
approval by the DWI:
(1) A proposed project or contract involving a significant
e new policy consideration, or which for any other reason suggests
the desirability of prior consideration at head-of-agency level,
w N regardless of financial magnitude.
4
(2) A project or contract involving a total authorization
excess of $150,000 in the current or succeeding fiscal year.
(3) It is proposed to amend an existing project or contract
in such a manner to raise the total authorization more than
$100,000 above the level established in the Financial Plan.
Office of Commnmications comments on the memorandum were solicited by
the DD/S. A reply has been forwarded which states that the proposals
outlined in the memorandum are acceptable to the Office.

it vould be more of a problem at outstations. In connection with the major
transmitter program which we will be going through over the next few years,
it was brouut out that Headquarters should advise the field of the
disposition to be made of the replaced transmitters because warehouse
space is a problems at many stations and also because, for score of these
transmitters, there will be no farther requirements for then in our systems.
