Mr. Frank C. Carlucci

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 has made the tentative.decisions
described below.
These decisions will be reflected in a revised budget ranking which
will be sent to you tomorrow. The DCI's tentative decisions on issues
are being sent now in order to give you the opportunity to start your
assessment of the impact each will have on your budget. A written
reclama incorporating your views on the issues and the ranking 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 0MB 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.
