Committee Position on Policy Paper

It was agreed at the January 23, 1976, meeting that the Committee

should not take an official position on the unclassified systems

included in the study on the Civil Uses of Satellite Sensor Data.

It was agreed, however, that it would be appropriate for Committee

members to review the report and to submit individual agency -

comments. It was also agreed that when unclassified items affect

the areas of concern to the CAC, the Committee will take an

official position.

In compliance with the Committee's position, the draft of the

Remote Earth Imagery Policy Paper, dated June23, 1976, was

circulated to interested civil agencies for review and comment.

Items of concern to the Committee ars as follows:

Issue Number 2, Sub-option D-1, "Extend the charter

of the Interior chaired committee to cover domestic

requirements for high resolution imagery of all

United States civil users."

The Committee believes that to expand the charter to

include State and local governments as well as commercial enterprises would result in an unmanageable

task for the Committee as presently structured.

Issue Number 2, Sub-option 1-2, "Explore the possibility

of expanding the soiree, making a

portion of the capacity available or domestic requirements of civil users."

The Committee is in agreement with this recommendation

and is awaiting further contacts from the Director of

Central Intelligence.

Recommendation Number 1, "That civil programs be permitted

to utilise acquisition resolution of no better than 10

meters on an open worldwide basis with better resolution

being considered on a case-by-case basis."

The Committee has no objection to this recommendation.

All other recoumendations (Number 2 through Number 5), were
