culminate in the formulation of specific recommendations to be 
submitted to the Secretary of Defense, via the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Technology, for his consideration in 
determining resource policies, short- and long-range plans, and in 
shaping appropriate implementing actions as they may affect the U.S. 
national defense posture.
