Director of Naval Intelligence
Washington, D.C. 20350
Dear Admiral Shapiro:
The DCI has just completed his review of issues raised during the
preparation of the proposed FY 1980 budget. After careful consideration
of your comments, those of the departments, the Resource Management and
Collection Tasking Staffs, and the OMB, he concurs with your recommended
decision unit ranking.
This decision will be reflected in a revised budget ranking which
will be sent to you tomorrow. The DCI's tentative decision is being
sent now in order to give you the opportunity to start your assessment
of the impact it will have on your budget. A written reclama, incor-
porating your views will be welcome as soon as possible, but it must be
received no later than noon Saturday if it is to have effect. The DCI
will be making his final decisions on Sunday, 12 November.
Admiral Turner will weigh carefully your observations and the
opinions of the PRC(I) members, especially in light of the cautionary
notes from the OMB and NSC Staffs regarding the guidance level. What
would be most useful to him is an assessment of the problems which would
result should you be forced to accept a TOA level for your program at
levels at or below 0MB guidance.
Sincerely,
Approved For Release 2004/07/08 : CIA-RDP80M00772A000500010023-0
