MEMORANDUM FOR Secretaries of the Military Departments
Director, Defense Intelligence Agency
Director, National Security Agency
SUBJECT: Continuation of Target-Oriented Display (TOD) Project.
My memorandum of 27 May 1968 provided for the continuation of the
target-oriented display project within the Department of Defense. Th.s
undertaking was sponsored originally by the Offices of the Director of
Central Intelligence, the Director, Bureau of the Budget, and the Secretai?
of Defense. The TOD is intended to provide a common authoritative data
base for intelligence community management.
In order that the target-oriented display may continue to be fully
responsive to the requirements of all of the original sponsors, as well as
to the newly-created National Intelligence Resources Board, I am instructing
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Systems Analysis) to continue to
participate with appropriate! representatives of the DCI and D/BoB in
an expansion of the work of the existing TOD Committee. The over-all
objective is to bring about orderly growth and continuing improvement in
the capabilities of the TOD.
The specific provisions of my memorandum of 27 May 1968 will be
held,in abeyance pending approval of a DoD/BoB/DCI joint plan for the
further development of the target-oriented display. This plan will include
provision for building on the, existing data base, modified as appropriate by
experience derived from the initial exercise, and will include the collection and
analysis of data for additional fiscal years and a broader coverage of
intelligence activities.
