28 November 1984
MEMORANDUM FOR: SECOM Members and Chairmen of SECOM Subcommittees
FROM:
SUBJECT: FY 85 Priority R&D and Procurement Candidate Projects
1. You are requested to nominate and rank in priority order R&D, study
and procurement candidates for Fiscal Year 1985 Security Committee funding.
As in the past, you are also requested to rank projects for a two year
forecast, covering Fiscal Years 1986 and 87. Because other urgent tasks
delayed our request for this information, your prom t response is urgently
needed. At this time, SECOM expects to-have for use in seed money
and other programs this fiscal year. Submissions should not be artificially
limited by this funding level, but must be accompanied by narrative
descriptions of expected benefits to enable the staff to cross rank all
submissions on an aggregated basis.
2. The Intelligence Research and Development Council recently reported
on Community-wide needs for security research and development. It recommended
that the annual SECOM review of security R&D requirements serve as the
mechanism for recommending DCI and SecOef funding and support for projects in
the security field. Given the possibility that this recommendation will be
favorably received, you should include in your rankings the broadest range of
security requirements of common concern. Include any projects you consider
needed in the behavioral sciences/personnel security and access control
fields.
3. Attached, for reference purposes, is a list of projected allocations
of funds to SECOM subcommittees. This is not to be considered final guidance,
but a point of departure for your deliberations. Also attached is the
oriainal (2 May 1983) list of FY 85 projects nominated for funding by SECOM.

4. In order to permit consideration of a consolidated, prioritized list
by SECOM at its 9 January 1985 meeting, your response is requested not later
than 28 December 1984. Expeditious action on this matter is essential to
allow time for procurement before the end of FY 1985 and to avert reallocation
of SECOM funds to other activities.
