# NRO Achieves Eleven Years of “Clean” Financial Audits

By StaffNational Reconnaissance Office

                CHANTILLY, Va.  –              
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) received its eleventh consecutive unmodified (clean) audit of its annual financial statements, an accomplishment unequaled in the U.S. Intelligence Community.

“I am extremely proud of the NRO’s robust financial and management controls. The men and women who manage our federal resources are truly experts in their field,” said NRO Director Dr. Christopher Scolese.

The audit was conducted by Kearney & Company, an independent public accounting firm. Kearney evaluated the reliability of financial data supporting NRO financial statements, the accuracy of the statements, and the accuracy of footnote disclosures in accordance with guidance issued by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board, the Office of Management and Budget, and other authorities.

An unmodified or “clean” audit opinion means that the financial statements present fairly the financial position and the results of the organization’s operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. NRO managers can confidently use this information in day-to-day decisions, knowing it is accurate and reliable.

“Each year my team’s hard work and diligence exceeds their accomplishments from the previous year. I cannot begin to express how extremely proud I am of all of them. Their dedication, extensive knowledge, and experience assure our oversight officials and the American public that they can expect nothing short of excellence from us,” said Misty Tullar, NRO’s Chief Financial Officer and Director of NRO’s Business and Plans Operations Directorate.

-NRO-

The NRO is the Intelligence Community organization responsible for developing, launching, and operating America’s intelligence satellites to meet the national security needs of our nation.

#### Den, on the demise of Wilcocks, *v.*—

There were severa! ejectment suits brought against the inhabitants of a part of the town of Fayetteville, for recovering the respective lots of ljjrtd on which they were respectively settled ; and vise issue of the contest depended solely upon the ascertainment of an old line of a tract of land of one thousand acres which lay adjoining to the town, the Plaintiff alleging that these lots were within that line, and the Defendants that they were without. — ■ A surveyor and jury were appointed to survey and view tiie land — and the order for a survey and jury was made in each of the causes; and at this term, the survey being not completed on the day on which the causes were called for trial, a continuance was moved for on the part of the Defendants, and granted upon the terms of their paying the costs of this term, according to the act of *1779, e.*4, *s. 5,*whereupon it became a question whether each Defendant should pay the whole of the expenses of *the jury*and surveyor, or whether the jury and surveyor should be allowed as for one cause only. It being alleged, that although there were several casets depending upon the ascertainment of this line, yet the surveyor and jury had but the same trouble and labor as if there was only one'’ cause ; and that one running of the line of the one thousand acre tract, answered for all. The court took time to advise until Judge Macax could search the record at Salisbury in the suit of *Pacely*and others, where the same question had been decided.

Note. — It seem? as if each Defendant, in case a verdict went against him, should pay the whole costs of the surveyor. The line must be platted for each, in the survey returned for his cause : also, each Defendant's lot mu,t be viewed and platted to shew its situation relative *to*the long line. With respect to the jurors, their labour is over when the lines are once run and viewed When they arc viewing the long line, that is a service for the Defendants jointly ; but when they are viewing the lots, that is for each Defendant singly ; and if they take up several days in doing this, the lots first viewed and passed by, should not contribute to the expenses of the lots not yet viewed —-as to that part of the service therefore, it seems, as if each Defendant ought to pay. We must wait however for a decision on thif point to be ascertained of the law.

Dear Bob: 

As a follow-up to the July 9 Space Council 

discussion of the MOL project, Harold Brown has . sent 

to us for comment a proposed memorandum to the 

President and a draft policy paper setting forth 

suggested information and publicity controls on the 

project. 

It is likely that we will encounter some international problems, perhaps of considerable difficulty 

if the MOL project, as now planned, is carried out. 

I do not consider these problems of sufficient 

negative import to warrant my advising against going' 

ahead, and if you are fully satisfied the project 

is justified in terms of the potential contribution 

to national defense, I have no objection to your 

going forward with the recommendation to the President. 

If a decision is made to proceed with the MOL 

as now conceived, it is clear that very tight control 

of the project operation and very careful handling of 

all publicity will be essential, if we are to succeed 

in safeguarding the sensitive aspects of MOL and 

dealing effectively with whatever international 

problems arise. We have reviewed the draft information 

policy paper from this point of view and have worked 

out jointly with your people at the staff level an 

acceptable concept and guidelines. ' 

The Honorable 

Robert S. McNamara, 

Secretary of Defense.'_

In terms of potential foreign reactions, I 

consider it most important that to the extent it 

can be controlled, everything said publicly about 

the MOL project emphasize its experimental and 

research nature, and that statements and implications 

that MOL constitutes a new military operational 

capability in space, or an intermediate step toward 

such a capability, be rigorously avoided. It would 

be useful to this end if fully knowledgeable people 

in this Department could work closely and continuously 

with your own people in devising detailed press and 

publicity handling guidelines, reviewing the texts of 

key statements or releases, etc., and I would 

appreciate confirmation that this is agreeable-to 

you, in order that appropriate arrangements can be 

worked out.

McKEAN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

July 10, 2014 

The McKean County Commissioners strongly support the Bradford Regional Airport Authority's request for a 

waiver in the essential air service program. 

Over the years, McKean County has invested millions of dollars in the airport. We are committed to preserving 

commercial air service in our county. Commercial air service is essential to the well-being of our existing industry and 

the development of future endeavors. 

The Bradford Regional Airport, working with other small regional airports, the Pittsburgh Airport and the 

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has presented a viable plan to increase departures and reduce the 

subsidy per passenger. We request that this plan be given the opportunity to succeed. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Sincerely, 

McKEAN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

MEMORANDUM FOR The Director,-(S)- National Reconnaissance Office

SUBJECT: Crisis Management Satellite Reconnaissance

I am forwarding a memorandum from the iJoint Chiefs of Staff, Subject:

"Strategic Reconnaissance," dated March 31, 1964, which recommends

action to achieve a quick reaction reconnaissance capability for cris

management and SLOP targeting.

I agree, in general, with the need for crisis management satellite

reconnaissance. Accordingly, you are directed to take action wi.

the (TS) National Reconnaissance Program to achieve the following

objectives.

Improve the present satellite reconnaissance capability

support crisis management so that hard copy CORONA quality (KRphotography of the maximum number Of indicator targets achievable

during one day's coverage can be delivered to the-46)-National Photo

graphic Interpretation Center within 48 to 72 hours at request. This

action must be repeatable once within 24 hours and then once again 48

hours later for a total of three days of coverage.

Exploit to the full the capabilities of tb IIIIIIIIØphotographic system to provide a crisis management too

I R

, wl ys m apa -

biliti e s , such as the possible time intervals for receipt of hard copy

following coverage of the appropriate highest priority targets, and the

selection of such targets for coverage, as determined in an on-going study

which you have under way.

c. These capabilities are to be achieved in an evolutionary fashion --

mainly by engineering changes and improvements, together with selected

developments.
';'• 7:r 71-

d. The capabilities will be exercised during peacetime as

integral productive elements of the normal-VIM-National Reconnaissance

Program. During periods of crisis, they must be operated in an

apparently peaceful manner so that they do not become provocative in

themselves or lieTVet as indicators of our own planning or intentions.

Please determine the impact on your fiscal 65 -(S)--NRO financial plan

to cover immediate actions in response to this directive. I will expect

your fiscal. 66 estimates in the near futuTe.

.J With regard to the Joint Chiefs of Staff comment on satellite post-attack

reconnaissance, I believe that the studies which you are now preparing

on the subject are a necessary prerequisite to further considerations

concerning this capability. Action on the "Near-Term" (desired) quick

reaction satellite capability commented on by the Joint Chiefs of Staff

will be deferred pending the determination noted in subparagraph b.,

above.
