1. The Committee discussed various pros and cons of using
existing mechanisms within the Committee structure to develop
a means to determine the degree to which SIGINT requirements are
being satisfied. Taking into account this discussion the Chairman
established an Ad Hoc Group and designated of the
IC Staff as its Chairman. Those members of the Committee who
have an interest in this group are requested to provide the SIGINT
Secretariat with the names of their representatives.
2. The first task of this group will be to develop terms of
reference to be submitted to the Committee for approval.

3. Following approval of the terms of reference the mission
of the Ad Hoc Group is to develop a mechanism by which the SIGINT
Committee can routinely report on the degree to which SIGINT requirements,
from both overhead and ground collection, are being satisfied.
The Ad Hoc Group's approach should be to first consider ELINT, then
Telemetry and finally COMINT, if feasible.
