WASHINGTON. D.C. 20301 

DlAXX-3B 9 August 1966 

SUBJECT: Request for BYEMAN Billet 

Director, National Recdnnaissance Office Staff 

ATTN: Lt Colonel William R. Yost 

Washington, D. ~C. 20301 

:1. Request the following billet be approved for inclusion in the 

DIA BYEMAN billet structure for the clearances indicated: 

I 

I 0560-127 Intelligence Staff Officer, Plans and Programs (DIAPL) -

IDEALIST, CORONA, EARPOP J GAMBIT, DORIAN, I I and 

HEXAGON. 

2. The Executive Management Planning and Control concept for DIA 

: (EMPAC) was established approximately eighteen (18) months ago to 

,measure and control intelligence activities and results throughout 

iDIA. The system is composed of the following capabilities: proce-

,dures for determining detailed intelligence objectives; development 

!of executive management gUidance on policies and constraints; and 

integrated planning mechanism to develop operating plans for objectives 

:and evaluation of potential effectiveness based on various cost effecitiveness methodologies; capabilities to monitor the physical execution 

lof approved operating plans and the resulting information flow. 

3. The EMPAC system was implemented in a phaseJand evolutionary fashion. 

Phase I, the design phase, has been completed and with the start of 

Phase II, the testing phase, BYEMAN clearances for the Deputy Director 

are now essential. The Director, EMPAC, VADM Lowrance considers it 

imperative that his deputy, Colonel Mills, have access to all BYEMAN 

projects to permit him free access to all information and documents, 

both collateral and compartmented, for the overall determination of 

information as required in the chartering of EMPAC. Specifically, 

Colonel Mills must peruse, study and make determinations regarding 

pertinent inputs to the EMPAC on the following points: 

a. 'Operational pre-launch schedules and proposed tracking information. 

b. Evaluation of informational results from resources and costs, 

both forcasted and total aggregate costs.

c. Determinations of trade-offs between operational resources 

and functions for greater effectiveness and economy of operations. 

d. Igerttifisatign and/or evaluation of essential intelligence 

operations to provide continuing assessment of status of ali operational activities. 

e. Potential reliabilities and probabilities of successes regardless of type of collector, in order to assess all variables and produce 

a comb;nation of costs versus merits of the product. 

f. Operational information to assist in determining best collectors and best targets, to be used in conjunction with data concerning 

all collectors, collateral and compartmented. 

4. Some of the above information requirements appear to be within 

the exclusive purview of NRO; however, as explained to the Director, 

NRO Staff, the resulting information from this statistical data would 

be coordinated with and remain under the control of NRO, with resulting 

studies and recommendations being fully coordinated and available to 

the Director, NRO Staff. 

5. Officials of Lockheed Corporation, which is contributing specific 

technical studies in support of EMPAC, have strongly urged w:hah Colonel 

Mills be granted BYEMAN clearances so he may apply more effectively 

the information on certain sensor applications and capabilities which 

bear on the EMPAC testing. They have stated that clearances should be 

comparable to those required for participation in the Target Oriented 

Display .(TOD), in that sensor activities beyond those carried in the 

ClP must be considered.
