MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable Hans Mark
Secretary of the Air Force
SUBJECT: Comments on Your Final Report
1. Thanks for your excellent summing up in your final report to
Secretary Brown and me of 5 October 1979 and for the kind words in the
last paragraph. I appreciated the perspective which you have left with
us of where the National Reconnaissance Program is going. It is very
helpful and I will do my best to keep it moving in the directions you
have -4.14-ems
2.. Specifically, I endorse your idea of declassifying the role
of the National Reconnaissance Office and will work with Secretary Brown
towards doing that. It seems to me the preferred way to do that would
be without any fanfare--just a Quiet unclassified reference to the Office
that would break the ice.
3. Most of all I want to thank you for the superb way in which
you have managed the program over these past two-plus years and for the
superb working relationship we have enjoyed. It has been a real pleasure,
and especiall because I think we have accomplished something for the
nation.
