171703 - John Deneen proposed that Morris be approached about recommending that
171704 - SDS be considered for managing the CITRIS project that is sponsored by
171705 - UC Berkeley, and which Intel's Dave Tennenhouse is reported to have
171706 - been appointed to support. ref SDS 0 KD7M  Called Morris.  He was not
171707 - receptive to this initiative, ref SDS 0 5F6N, but explained factors
171708 - that make SDS effective for KM, and which prevent mainstream
171709 - development efforts from succeeding. ref SDS 0 NK4J  He also cited
171710 - cultural barriers that require research to resolve in order to deploy
171711 - SDS, which could be grounds for supporting John's initiative.

172104 - for intelligence support under current national security crisis,
172105 - ref SDS 97 LD6G, based on background in the same record dealing with

172113 - Saturday, John Deneen left a phone message explaining....
172114 -
172115 -    David Tennenhouse is VP R&D at Intel, and has a big budget for
172116 -    supporting research at UC Berkeley on developing advanced
172117 -    technologies.
172118 -
172119 -    David is formerly with DARPA.
172121 -  ..
172122 - John proposes that Morris recommend SDS for managing Dave's project at
172123 - UC Berkeley.
172125 -  ..
172126 - This could be accomplished by Morris sending the letter requested on
172127 - endorsing SDS to Dave, similar to Pat sending his letter recommending
172128 - SDS to SRI's CEO, Curt Carlson.
172130 -  ..

172138 - This morning I called and left word of having received John's message,
172139 - and will notify Morris about this idea.
172141 -  ..
172142 - John called back, and we discussed his initiative.
172144 -  ..
172145 - Explained that background limits likelihood Morris will contribute to
172146 - SDS.  There has been a continuing distancing from SDS since 920215.

172150 - Guess there is no harm in trying again.

172153 - Dave's DARPA connection has plusses and minuses.  On 010426 Pat
172154 - Lincoln reported DARPA has lost confidence in KM. ref SDS 74 657O
172156 -  ..
172157 - Therefore, make presentation for "intelligence" support, and not bring
172158 - up the "sore" subject of KM, even though properly presented KM is an
172159 - important goal for adding "intelligence" to management, as related in
172160 - POIMS. ref OF 1 EX5O  In any case, to save time, just say here is an
172161 - SDS record on 001219 that explains and demonstrates a stronger form of
172162 - intelligence support, ref SDS 69 QT6F, using organization, analysis,
172163 - alignment, summary and feedback that is missing from current
172164 - management capability, as cited in the letter, ref DIP 2 PPTT, to DCMA
172165 - on 010920, ref SDS 95 0001, and citing the record on 980815 reporting
172166 - inadequate analysis afflicting US intelligence. ref SDS 34 1173

172173 -     Wayne's report on 010725. ref SDS 84 0001
172174 -
172175 -     Recommend that Dave click around for a few minutes on links in
172176 -     the SDS records, and reach his own conclusion about SDS potential
172177 -     for improving "intelligence" capability.
172179 -  ..
172180 - Challenge is the same for Morris, as for Pat Lincoln at SRI, when
172181 - folks make a recommendation that says SDS adds "intelligence" to
172182 - management, then the people who get the recommendation say....
172183 -

172185 -            "Great! How long have you been using SDS?
172186 -
172187 -
172188 - ...as Pat noted on 010522. ref SDS 77 G36J  SRI can fudge a little on
172189 - this by pointing to the record on 001017 listing a continuous history
172190 - of support for the OHS/DKR project. ref SDS 61 1575
172192 -  ..
172193 - On 010517 Pat asked if he can learn SDS, so that was a step in the
172194 - right direction. ref SDS 76 SR9N
172196 -  ..
172197 - We have moved in that direction by Pat having proposed SRI involvement
172198 - with SDS on several occasions with Curt Carlson, per telecon on

172610 - and so Morris would not feel comfortable recommending that David
172611 - consider SDS for managing the CITRIS project.
172612 - ..
172613 - One pitch Morris can make is that Dave's project with CITRIS is
172614 - "research," and research is needed on deploying SDS, per draft letter
172615 - for Pat to send to Curt Carlson. ref DIP 1 01XP
