NOTE TO: EX DIR
DDC I
REF: Office of Technology Assessment Request
o I think you both ought to weigh in on this
issue.
o I have discovered several recent examples of
the absence of institutional memory here,
occasioned by reorganization and rapid
turnover of personnel, being the cause of
distrust between the Agency and the Congress.
o In fact, Ed and I have concluded that the
root cause of almost all of our current
difficulties is distrust: us of them in
a security context; them of us in a
information denial context.
o I'm asking, with regard to the attached
exchange with OTA,whether this is the
smartest way to go.
