Dear Mr. Secretary:

     We have reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD's)
Theater Nuclear Forces' modernization efforts with partic-
ular emphasis on North Atlantic Treaty Organization moderni-
zation since 1975.

      To achieve greater flexibility in~using Theater
Nuclear Forces, DOD modernization efforts were directed
towards;

      --Improvinglhe Theater Nuclear Forces' surviv-
        ability under nuclear or nonnuclear attack
        through greater mobility, increased hardness,
        and well-planned dispersal.

      --Upgrading conurnd, control, and communications
        systems to maintain Theater Nuclear Forces' re-
        sponsi'eness to other military organizations and
        political authorities.

      --Improving the accuracy and timeliness of opera-
        tional intelligence and target information, pro-
        vided to both political authorities and Ifillitary
        organizations.
