MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting with ARPA Representatives Regarding the
Animal Programs
1. Mr. Reiser and I met with Dr. Niedenfuhr
and Mr. Cesaro of ARPA to discuss a combined Agency/ARPA animal
studies program. We presented the attached proposed program, and
they indicated they were prepared to live with this agreement. They
estimated that their FY 1969 funding would be somewhere around
500 K and probably 300-400 K in FY 1968. This will include a 10%
administrative item to cover travel and consultation. Inherent in
this agreement is a commitment that the Agency, in
particular, will be the technical monitor of the programs.
2. We also discussed suitable candidates for contract pro-
gram management. After due consideration, we concluded that
have the greatest capability.
We will arrange to set up a meeting sometime in January to brief
both companies in detail on the requirements for the system and
give them a thirty-day bid time. ARPA will participate in the
briefing. We will explicitly exclude them from hardware develop-
ment. The time frame will be approximately twelve months from
initiation of contract. The contractor will be provided with all
reports pertinent to these programs resulting from previous R&D.
3. Prior to initiating this joint program we should
a. Arrive at a suitable understanding with manage-
ment about our monitoring these programs, and
