          MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

          SUBJECT: Ninth Tri-Service Task Force (Project Badger)
          Meeting @


          1. (U) The ninth Tri-Service Task Force Meeting was held on
          19 December 1990, 0900-1015, in the Commander's Conference Room,
          U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC),
          Building 521. The list of attendees is at encl 1.

          2. (U) Progress on Long-Term Report

              a. (U) COL Dangerfield announced that the Executive
          Committee of the Tri-Service Task Force met at USAMRDC on
          18 December 1990, to review outlines for the long-term report
          which were submitted by COL Bancroft and his staff, CDR Paleologo
          and LTC Falkenheimer. After their review, the committee made
          recommendations for integrating the outlines. Following the
          meeting, LTC Falkenheimer and MAJ Braitman implemented the
          integration.

              b. (U) LTC Falkenheimer reviewed the integrated outline of
          the long-term report (encl 2) for the Task Force and a discussion
          of the outline ensued.

              C. (U) COL Dangerfield stated his belief that only
          recommendations on vaccine production should be made in the long-
          term report, not on other problems such as intelligence issues
          and threat validation. It would be appropriate to site
          impediments to vaccine production, but any recommendations for
          solutions should be limited to the vaccine production arena.

              d. (U) LTC Falkenheimer expressed her belief that it would
   be important to suggest recommendations for fixing impediments to
          production as well. COL Bancroft suggested that the report
          should include a list of biological warfare threats.

              e. (U) Dr. Linden suggested that comments on setting policy
          and doctrine on immunizations should be included since these
          issues present impediments to decisions on which vaccines should
          be produced. A discussion resulted concerning setting medical
          policy and medical requirements in each of the Services. It
          appeared from the discussion that differences exist among the
          Services in this area.
