Very interesting time. My own guess is that the opposite will happen. The Organization acrued power and control over systems at a time when other agencies were not able to effectilvely procure large programs. That is no longer true, and we may see the Org. shift back to is roots a bit.

I am very doubtful. Any expansion of NRO’s roles and responsibilities will be seen as a reward for its disastrous management of FIA and other systems. I think the opposite will happen, if anything. Either that or nothing will change.
