1 . Attached le t ter from Mr. McDermott announces that the Office ofEmergency Planning has been designated as the co-ordinating agency forProject CASPER The le t ter also requests certain support from the Army.2. I t would appear tffia t: detai led co-ordination wil l be required toidentify specif ical ly what support is to be provided. This can best behandled by personal l ia ison between the Army s ta f f and OEP, with exchangeof correspondence l imited to that required to establish formal require

ments . ODCSLOG is in the best posi t ion to handle this. There i s also arequirement to provide DCSLOG guid.ance on the approach t o take in discus -sions with OEP Based on previous guidance t would appear that anysupport to be provided should be at no cost to the Army; that is fundsand personnel devoted to CASPER would be on a reimbursab l e basis. AtTab A, for your approval i s a proposed memo to DCSLOG assigning responsibi l i ty for e s t ~ l i s h i n g l ia ison with OEP and providing guidance for anydiscussions .
