ment has been made more
positive. The captured
document problem is well
in hand in the ASDIC
plan where Chief, FDD
will automatically
become AD/ASDIC when
the plan is implemented.
"Service of common concern"
more correctly describes
FDD's service to the
Community.
"Exploitation" has become
a well understood term.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of
the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, and
for the purposes enunciated in paragraphs (d) and
(e) thereof, the National Security Council hereby
authorizes and directs that:
