3. It is the considered opinion of several members of the FLTC, with
which I concur, that it would be inadvisable to appoint as Chairman any of the
representatives of the intelligence services of the four uniformed services to
the.FLTC. They are already deeply committed to their own individual service
responsibilities and do not have the interest, time, or the breadth of
background necessary for the Chairmanship.
