SUBJECT: DD/S&T Quarterly Review Format
1. It is proposed that the format and routine for the DD/S&T Quarterly
Review be changed in the following manner for FY 71:
a. That summaries be prepared for each of the CPC
elements in which actions are planned. This would be
done preliminarily by the Planning Officer and reviewed
in preparation for each session. Summaries would
include the following:
Ot~d (1) Function of element in Agency R&D Plan;
(2) Recent funding history of project;
(3) Interrelationship with other offices -
problem areas;
(4) Goals; Forecasts;
(5) Projected contract actions in each'
project; relationship;
yuw
n/,
(6) Anticipated project completion, if any;
(7) Tenor of this would be to set out proposed plan for
the fiscal year and to track its progress.
b. It is recommended that the practice of having two Division
Chiefs attend be continued. Past attendees have been

although it rests on the whole technical program.
c. Where the DD/S&T requests more data in the meeting, it
is proposed that the cheque data be used as backup, as before.
However, the thought would be to elicit directions on a total
project or element basis rather than to get into individual
contractor peccadillos. Mr. Duckett would be able to
exercise his more detailed technical prerogatives in this format
if he so chose.
d. Ender this scheme, a proposed Agenda would be forwarded
to Mr. Duckett to review prior to the meeting. This would sketch
out details to be marked up to indicate guidance and subject areas
he wished to cover in advance. His input of the Agenda would
commits him to it more clearly and we could sense any attention
areas.
Y&', e. About 2 hours would be required.
2. Following the review, it is proposed that the mebting notes be passed on to
the Divisions verbally at Staff meetings. A typed copy of the notes would be circulated
in D/ORD staff for later reference. It would be anticipated that several follow-up
items would be pursued for individual review. This would be coordinated through
the Comptroller/DD/S&T. The progress towards element objectives could be readily
determined as the fiscal year advanced. The advantages of this are that a better
overview of the complete Agency R&D Plan would be available for discussion.
Further, the element approach should give a better avenue for DD/S&T direction.
