Noting significant technological advances in systems for radio positioning, navigation and timing, and,

Acknowledging the trend towards the use of common systems worldwide endorsed by member States of the primary international organizations,

Calling Attention to the Letter of Promulgation in the foreword to the U.S. Federal Radionavigation Plan (the FRP) signed by the U.S. President's representatives, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation, and,

Noting that the Letter of Promulgation states that the FRP represents the official radionavigation policy of the U.S. government,

Recognizing that governments throughout the world consider the FRP to be a statutory document fully supported by the U.S. administration and depend upon it in developing their own national radionavigation policy,

Further noting the radical policy changes that have appeared in the last two successive biennial issues of the FRP, and,

Recognizing that such changes are: (a) unresponsive to user-expressed requirements; (b) an indication of the need for better coordination within the Administration and government agencies; (c) disruptive to users and governments worldwide; and (d) responsible for the loss of confidence in the FRP, the process for its development, and those responsible for its adoption,

Calling attention to the United States and international user requirements, concerns, observations, and recommendations as expressed at this International Users' Conference and summarized in the Meeting Conclusions attached to this Resolution,

Resolves:

1. That a recommendation is made to the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy that, in accordance with Title 22 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2656b, he/she assume responsibility for the oversight and guidance of strategic planning aspects for the Federal Radionavigation Plan including provision of specific services, for the process of coordinating all national and international interests, and for the establishment of the FRP under the Federal Regulatory Process.

1. That this Resolution be transmitted to government departments, international organizations, user organizations, and others involved in the evolution of radionavigation systems for national and international use.
