Reference A material arrived in OC while we were still
in the process of coordinating priority ranking of the
respective projects among the several components involved in
the RD&E effort. The attached references provide some insight
into the scope and status of this coordination effort. Never-
theless, all of the RDEE projects in the package received
with reference A were reviewed and the following details and
comments are provided:
a. Those projects recognized as either OC
originated or OC brokered for the DDO have been
put into priority order as listed in attachment
A. However, there were many projects contained
in the package which OC is unable to correlate
with an OC activity. These were not ranked.
b. Attachment B is a listing of projects
which are of general interest to OC but are not
OC originated. Priority ranking was not assigned.
c. The six projects with asterisks referred
to in the note on the cover letter of the package
do not appear to be of interest to OC based on
the brief project descriptions provided.

d. Upon reviewing this package, it was
apparent that a number of higher priority OC
requirements were omitted in favor of lower
priority. items without consultation with this
Office. These requirements, listed in order
of priority, are as follows:
Communications Vulnerability Technology
Advanced Computer Technology Seminar
Data Communication System Architecture
e. Under Covert Communications there is a
project describing cryptographic sub-systems
development. Unless funds identified are in
support of projects already approved by this
Office and NSA, e.g.- then funding is
premature. All cryptographic development under-
taken by this Agency is done so under delegated
authority of DIRNSA. Only after NSA has agreed
that a given requirement is better satisfied by
Agency resources, is internal funding justifiable
and defensible.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Officer, DI)/A
SUBJECT: FY- 79 RD(' L Program
During the process of developing our FY-79 budget we asked the
RDF,E Offices to identify the customers for each of their proposed
projects. Attached is a listing of the items where the DD/A was so
identified. In some cases you are the only customer and in other
cases you are one of several customers. It would he very helpful
to us for you to rank the projects in priority order from highest
to lowest; i.e., "1" to "n", from a Directorate point of view. I
would appreciate having your rankings and comments by .4 March 1977.
We will coordinate our tentative decisions on the FY-79 program with
you during the month of April.
hief, P\&D Planning Staff
Directorate
of
Science and Technology

NO'1'p : There are six items marked with a penned asterisk which were
