Considerations for the TOD
ihu 'POD will give us our first comprehensive overview of how the
country' intelligence resources are applied'to different targets, but
1:.., use is limited to:
a.. Providing a perspective on the intelligence priority we have
)wri various targets.
1). Indicating large resource areas, where analyses of our require-
IS OT' systems to meet these requirements are likely to produce
nii' rant savings or improvements.
c. Giving trend data. Large shifts in resources should occur only
a rationale is available; conversely, as parts of our forces become
,.~.o.oemphasized, fewer intelligence resources should generally be applied

~. 'Giving an insight into those target areas where the intelligence.
urces (COMINT, PHOTINT, FLINT, etc.) have been excessively diffused to `.'
too many agencies making proper management and trade-off analysis difficult.
We have limited the TOD to displaying known data so that we could
-rndu.ce a comprehensive survey with a reasonable amount of manpower. A
-,.,:-. collecting and assembling process like the TOD can easily get out of
. w rn(l overtax the four operational programs. I am inclined to keep it
imp-b-, until we develop some experience in using the data. When we are
e:re. detailed data will be useful to us, we can request it.
We should use the TOD, as outlined above, to indicate specific areas
where further requirement studies-of the value of the intelligence product
would be useful. But the TOD would only go part way toward providing a
guide to areas needing analysis. It will identify areas where we are
spending large sums, but it will not hel? very much to identify overkilled
or neglected areas.

I see two major displays: qne a geographic and political distribution,!-
the other, an investment/operating expenses profile. The latter would allo'?
