	SPACE.com -- Trio of NRO Spy Satellites to be Launched During Next Two Months
		If all goes well this weekend, the NRO will have little time to celebrate their success before gathering back at Vandenberg for another launch, this one targeted to fly on Oct. 1 using America's biggest unmanned booster, the Titan 4B.
		In March 1998, NRO Director Keith Hall testified before Congress and said, "In the area of imagery intelligence, we are completing the development of the Enhanced Imaging System in response to growing customer demands and large area imagery collection shortfalls."
		A final NRO payload for 2001 is scheduled to be lofted into orbit atop an Atlas 2AS rocket, this time from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

	New NRO Mandate Raises Secrecy Flag - Technology News by TechWeb
		The NRO review commission, co-chaired by Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) and Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.), was created in response to a budget scandal in 1995 to 1996 that prompted the resignation of the NRO's director and deputy director after the organization was unable to account for more than half its annual budget.
		In short, the commission said the NRO must have the consistent attention of the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and the director of central intelligence if it is to succeed.
		NRO director Keith Hall has sought to balance the need for secrecy in advanced programs, particularly in space-based signals intelligence, with the need to provide more open contacts to commercial industry.

	B-2 BOMBER & NRO
		In 1994, the NRO was found to have secretly and illegally spent $300 million on an office complex in Fairfax County, Virginia.
		In order to maintain a charade that the huge complex was not an NRO project, millions of dollars in local property taxes, normally not paid by the federal government, were footed by taxpayers.
		The budget of the NRO was $3.5 billion (in 1994 dollars) in 1980, half of its current level.

		Perhaps a better slogan for the NRO's Website would be: "You could buy better, but you can't pay more." For you see, the image that the NRO likes to portray to all of us regular people is the image of being lean, mean, fast and fl.
		That new NRO Taj Mahal is really nice, and they have the nicest cafeteria in all of America.
		The last bastion of NRO pride and arrogance is their technical performance, which has slowly melted away.

	The Corner on National Review Online
		You can catch up here, and here, and here, and here, and here with posts that address, I think, most frequently asked questions.
		With regard to the two posts in question, it is my belief, based on an investigation in which NRO discussed the matter with three independent sources who live and work in Lebanon (as well as other experts in the area), that Smith was probably either spun by his sources or confused about what he saw.
		As one of our sources put it: “The Arab tendency to lie and exaggerate about enemies is alive and well among pro-American Lebanese Christians as much as it is with the likes of Hamas.” While Smith vouches for his sources, we cannot independently verify what they told him.

	The NRO Declassified
		The NRO would manage the NRP "under the direction, authority, and control of the Secretary of Defense." The NRO's director would be selected by the Defense Secretary with the concurrence of the DCI, and report to the Defense Secretary.
		The NRO director was charged with presenting to the Secretary of Defense "all projects" for intelligence collection and mapping and geodetic information via overflights and the associated budgets, scheduling all overflight missions in the NRP, as well as engineering analysis to correct problems with collection systems.
		The NRO prepared this set of classified responses to the article, clearly intended for those in Congress who might be concerned about the article's purported revelations about the NRO's cost overruns and avoidance of Congressional oversight.

	NRO Hijacking Drill
		...the NRO’s drill was “based on the idea of a Lear Jet or a FedEx plane having a flame-out on takeoff from nearby Dulles airport and crashing into the building.” The NRO is close to the end of one of Dulles’ runways.
		With the majority of American spy satellites at its fingertips, it can reasonably be assumed that NRO headquarters was an indispensable resource to NORAD and the Air Force from 8:28 when Flight 77 made its unplanned 180-degree turn over Pennsylvania, until 9:38 when it is said to have struck the Pentagon.
		The NRO claims as soon as the real world events “began to unfold” the drill was called off and all but the most essential personnel were sent home.

	Spy Satellite Agency Awards Big Contract to Boeing
		The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the U.S. government spy satellite agency, has awarded a major contract to a Boeing-led team to develop the next generation of imaging reconnaissance satellites.
		The satellites are the main element of NRO's Future Imagery Architecture (FIA) program, which according to the intelligence agency will "provide a more capable but less costly means of fulfilling the nation's imagery needs." In April, NRO announced that Raytheon Systems Co. had won a contract to build the program's ground-based infrastructure.
		NRO and Boeing released press releases announcing the contract late Friday.

		But it is suspected this may be the first of a new generation of spacecraft for the Space-Based Wide Area Surveillance System, giving rise to the possibility of a new satellite design that might scale down the triad into one craft.
		The NRO has two more launches planned in the next 32 days -- a heavy-lift Titan 4 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base on October 1 and another Atlas 2AS rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on October 10.
		The classified NRO payload aboard was the heaviest cargo ever launched by an Atlas rocket.

		The NRO EC is absolutely open to the idea of mutual non-voting liaisons between the Address Council and other ICANN entities.
		The NRO therefore presumes that any actions concerning a new RIR will be acted on in accordance with the current ASO MoU and ICP-2 during this period.

	Crooks and Liars » NRO
		You've probably read the NRO's very own John Derbyshire's insane rant against the victims of the VT shooting.
		I was on Alan Colmes's radio program and debated with the NRO's John Derbyshire…He'd like to see the UK troops released from Iran incarcerated and or something much worse.
		At this point a merciful intervention should have been staged, like the white coats arriving at the door to escort Blanche Dubois to that nice quite place on the hill where she can be helped.
