MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy to the DCI for the
Intelligence Community
SUBJECT Response to Goulder on Laserfax
3t-J
1. Those of us in ht e DDI concerned about imagery
transmission (including Ib have studied 'Your pro- 25X1
posed draft to Mort Goulder on this issue. While we
would have preferred to be dealing with Hall rather
than Goulder at this point, we recognize your need to
be responsive to Goulder in the first instance and the
.political necessity of having some sort of USIB bless-
ing in the second, before telling Hall what we plan to
do.
2. That being the case, we would propose the edi-
torial and substantive changes indicated on the attached
draft before sending it on to Mort. The substantive
changes are intended to a) reduce the emphasis in the
first draft on the experimental, nature of the Laserfax
net, and b) avoid. giving ASD(I) the impression that we
look to him for guidance on non-DoD participation in
the proposed network. Finally, we think it important
that you reiterate the Director's continuing commitment
to a Laserfax network.
3. Depending on the outcome of your exchange
with Goulder, and on the reaction to re-
port, we would hope that your next move coul e an
early memo directly to Hall, rather than an approach
through USIB. We want to avoid losing valuable time
