YEMORANDID: FOR DR. KISSINGER

I think that it would be worthwhile, for you to

hear a briefing from John Names on the capabilities

and limitations of the National Reconnaissance

Program. Many of the issues currently receiving

your attention bear directly or indirectly on our

satellite reconnaissance operations. I expect that

this briefing will take one hour and can be scheduled

at your convenience.

ME.MORANDM1 FOR M.. PACKARD

SUBJECT: Briefing for Dr. Kissinger

As you are aware, I have for sore tine felt that it

would be worthwhile to presenc.a briefing to Dr. Kissinger

on the NRP. In accordance with the PF1AB desires that we

should periodically report to the Special Assistant for

National Security Affairs, we have at your suggestion

included the 40 Conmittee on the distribution of our annual

written report. We have not, however, presented Dr. Kissinger

a personal briefing of the type given to the PFIAB.

I believe that several of the issues which are presently

receiving his attention are related to the capabilities,

imitations and conduct of the NRP and that such a briefing

would serve to provide him a greater perspective. Examples

of these issues include:

The verification of a SALT.

The changing relationships with China.

The current NS.AN 156 Committee proceedings on

the use of reconnaissance technology.

The controversy on governmental secrecy.

At toe right is a letter to Dr. Kissinger, informing

him of your desire to provide him a briefing.

RECOMMENDATION: That you sign the letter to the right.

John L. —c
