DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Technology Transfer Intelligence Committee
TTIC/C/079
14 October 1982
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
THROUGH Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT Scientific Communication and National Security
1. The attached report was recently issued by the National
Academy of Sciences' Panel on Scientific Communication and
National Security. At the request of the then DDCI, Admiral
Inman, the Technology Transfer Intelligence Committee (TTIC) was
assigned the task of representing the Intelligence Community in
the NAS study. The Panel was provided a number of intelligence
briefings and received considerable support from the Intelligence
Community, particularly from the Technology Transfer Intelligence
Committee and its Subcommittee on Exchanges (COMEX).
2. While we would not agree with all of the Panel's
conclusions and recommendations, they certainly will be central
to the Government-University dialogue over the next year or two,
and they also are bound to impact on how TTIC/COMEX does
business. A number of follow-on activities already have been
scheduled or at least are being planned. For example, the Panel
report was presented on 7 October to the Wilson Working Group of
the Defense-AAU (DeLauer-Kennedy) Forum and it will be presented
to the Forum itself later this month. A review by the NSC also
has been indicated, and there is some information suggesting that
one or more Congressional Committees may hold hearings based upon
the Panel report.
3. If you have questions or comments about the NAS Report
or the follow- 'vities, please contact either myself or STAT
the TTIC Executive Secretary.
