MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director, Research and

Dolphin Training Project
(Project OXYGAS)
"LT.MEN
1. The DD/P Technical Requirements Board found
the presentation of this subject which you made on 16
November 1965 valuable and interesting. We appreciate
the briefing.
2. You.asked that the Clandestine Services
determine if there is a conceptual requirement which
justifies Project OXYGAS. You stated that if the pro-
ject were to be continued, a modified boat would be
needed, and, in about eight to ten months, an opera-
tionally trained Clandestine Services officer should
be assigned to the project to integrate with the
system.
3. The Technical Requirements Board considers
the effort to develop dolphins as emplacement and
retrieval vehicles for use in clandestine operations
warranted under existing conditions. It endorses
DD/S&T's research and development efforts in this area.
Barring some unforeseen circumstance, the modified
boat and the operations officer needed to integrate
with the operational aspects Of the project will be
provided by the Special Operations Division.
