Sir, hope all is going well so far. Relatively quiet day here, with all internal meetings. I know the team is helping Todd on
some transportation while you are in Japan. Let us know what else we can do for you.
1. UAP: We wrapped up rapid coordination and obtained SD concurrence on the DNI classified and unclassified
reports this morning. We expect the reports to be released to Congress and the unclassified report to be
released on DNI.gov this afternoon. Most importantly, the DSD approved plan moving forward and signed the
attached memo. Neill and team are working through the next steps and will be ready with a proposal upon your
return.
2. State of l&S: I initiated 1v1s today with the DDIs and DRs on alignment to strategy and prioritization. Common
threads seem to be stovepipes, lack of strategic goals, mechanisms to track progress, and the need for executive
development/management. We will complete the 1v1s early next week and finalize
conclusions/recommendations for an improved organizational structure.
3. 36-Star memo: I will attend the final IPR with the DNI on Tuesday, at which the working group plans to close out
its work and propose a governance structure w/in l&S moving forward.
4. Space Policy: ISPR is working several space policy issues heading into DC next week, we are generally aligned
with Policy's recommendations.
S. Topics for Monday's SD/Under meeting: I plan to brief the following topics on Monday, (1) UAP way ahead; (2)
36-Star Memo; (3) International Military Student (IMS) Vetting. If you would like me to bring anything else up
please let me know
Vr Dave
