(Note 3), Creation of the NRO was part of the process of transforming the previously openly acknowledged U.S. space reconnaissance effort into a “black” or classified program. Some officials, including key presidential advisers James R. Killian and Edwin Land, believed that greater coordination of CIA and Air Force efforts, along the lines of the U-2 program, was required.
