The record indicated the DCI asked Dr. Land "how far he could see into the future and what future technology promised for intelligence purposes." Dr. Land responded that he thought 15 years was too far to look ahead and explained that while "it was possible to project the state of the art in various teclmologies... what is difficult to predict is the specific application which can be made of a given technology.“ He went on to explain that at Polaroid he had two groups of people, “one of these attempts to look well into the future and identify concepts, designs an ' ‘ e useful application, while the other prepared detailed plans and developed specific projects."

With four months to go in the fiscal year, the Board is unlikely to reach the 25,400+ page total it had for FY 2000. 0 Novels account for two of the larger submissions we received this week; one submission was a textbook length treatise on zntelltgence.
