(1)Imagery and signals intelligence satellites are vitally important to the security of the Nation. ####
(2)The National Reconnaissance Office (in this title referred to as the “NRO”) and its predecessor organizations have helped protect and defend the United States for more than 30 years. ####
(3)The end of the Cold War and the enormous growth in usage of information technology have changed the environment in which the intelligence community must operate.

The acquisition and maintenance of satellite systems are essential to providing timely intelligence to national policymakers and achieving information superiority for military leaders. ####
