SUBJECT: Review of Resource Management Staff Issue Paper
on Imagery Mix
1. As a part of our summer Program Review, my staff has developed
two kinds of issue papers: some structured by specific programs (e.g.,
CCP, GDIP, etc.), and some by the functional areas defined by the con-
solidated decision units. The program-oriented issue papers will be
sent to the individual Program Manager for review. For the functional-
area issue papers, which necessarily cut across programs, I believe that
it is desirable to have a broader review and to have representation from
the production and consumer side of the Community as well.
2. To start this process, I propose that we meet on 12 July from
1000 to 1200 hours, Room 6W02, to review our paper on imagery systems.
We will make a brief summary presentation of the paper and will then
open the meeting for discussion. A draft of the paper will be sent to
you on 10 July 1978.

3. The issue paper is intended to illuminate the issues for the
DCI. To that end, I believe that the review should focus on the develop-
ment of the issues, the feasibility of the alternatives, the validity of
the cost and performance comparisons, and the satisfaction of needs. It
will be an opportunity for an early exchange of views--your written
comments can be forwarded later.
4. If this procedure proves to be useful to us, I will extend it
to the other functional issue papers that are in preparation. However,
it will probably run into the Fall before we can cover the entire range
of cross-program issues.
5. Please leti know who will
be attending the meeting. you cannot attend, your representative
should have all clearances.
