Abstract:

The task force concludes that pursuant to some changes the Journal of Defense Research JDR should be continued. The JDR is mission essential as a classified research tool is not duplicated by available source as DTIC and does not present an unacceptable security risk. With respect to security issues and concerns about duplication with the DTIC data bases, our findings are base upon recommendations made to the task force by the Deputy Administrator, DTIC and the Principal Director, Counter-Intelligence and Security Policy. As scientists and engineers engaged in research for the Department of Defense, the task force recognizes the mission essential nature that is, the utility and uniqueness of an achieved, referred journal. Being the only classified journal of its type, the JDR is used to communicate ideas amongst the defense community and is a basic tool for researchers. Almost every professional discipline, including law, medicine, the physical sciences, etc., uses referred, archived journals such as the JDR as a fundamental research tool. mjm
