2207 - Summary/Objective
2208 -
220801 - Follow up ref SDS 91 0000, ref SDS 89 0000.
220802 -
220803 - Left message asking if there was any progress during the conference
220804 - Pat attended at UCB for CITRIS a few weeks ago, about the need for a
220805 - work role to generate intelligence, because everybody else is too
220806 - busy in meetings, calls and email.
220807 -
220808 -    [On 020711 discussed this with Pat. ref SDS 92 0001

2212 -
221201 - Pat called back and left a message in San Francisco (I am in Concord
221202 - today) saying the meeting at UCB for CITRIS was "very high level."
221203 -
221204 - Pat did not explain "high level"?
221205 -
221206 - Accordingly, would like to get some "intelligence" on results of the
221207 - workshop for improving intelligence, as proposed to Jeff Conklin in
221208 - the record on 020703. ref SDS 90 JV3L
221209 -
221210 - Pat explained there was no discussion about a role for intelligence to
221211 - ensure that intelligence is performed and generated, as set out in the
221212 - record on 020217 showing the explanation of intelligence drawn from
221213 - meetings and other communications, like email, seminars, workshops,
221214 - etc., that guides daily work. ref SDS 83 1332
221215 - ..
221216 - Pat mentions in his message that progress evident during the
221217 - meetings for CITRIS indicated to him that it will be a few more years
221218 - before people recognize the need for an intelligence role.  At first
221219 - blush, this seems to conflict with existing roles for military
221220 - intelligence and national security, e.g., the office of NSA.  Former
221221 - NSA director, Henry Kissinger worries about bumbling, reported on
221222 - 940609, ref SDS 7 4238, which sounds like someone in government is
221223 - aware that a role of intelligence is useful.
221224 - ..
221225 - Pat did not mention anything about discussions at the CITRIS
221226 - workshop on technology that aids existing roles for intelligence.
221227 - Since the event was nominally related to Homeland security, there must
221228 - be some recognition that better analysis is needed, and this requires
221229 - doing something different, which is supported by SDS, as reported on
221230 - 010911. ref SDS 73 UP5K
221231 -
221232 - Currently there is growing visibility and awareness of the need to
221233 - strengthen accountability by enabling an audit trail.  SDS supports
221234 - traceability to original sources, as seen by this record, and reported
221235 - on 950721. ref SDS 13 1740  More recently demand for accountability
221236 - was reported on 020204. ref SDS 82 0001  Just weeks ago on 020607
221237 - failure of accountability was cited as the cause of corporate failures
221238 - that harm investors. ref SDS 85 0001  It is reported again today,
221239 - citing failure of Worldcom.  Was this part of intelligence discussed
221240 - during the CITRIS workshop?
221241 - ..
221242 - Has Pat discussed SDS and Com Metrics for "intelligence" support
221243 - with his colleague who attended the CITRIS event, Bill Mark?
221244 - ref SDS 91 PM9O
221245 - ..
221246 - Pat does not mention in his phone message today progress on the
221247 - endorsement letter for SDS, which was requested on 020703, ref SDS 89
221248 - 0001  We discussed this on 020614. ref SDS 87 0001
