Gentlemen:
Even though the poor weather has delayed our flight test progress, data taken
on the only good flying day of the month seems worthy of transmitting to you.
The test objective was primarily to localize the Papoose problem. The secondary
purpose was to identify the problems associated with flights over our test range.
From this standpoint the test was successful. Steps are being taken to improve
the Papoose and to provide for better aircraft position information.

(b)(3) 10 USC 130
For your information I have written the attached working paper describing the
tests and subsequent data analysis. We intend to repeat these tests as soon as
the weather permits.
We are looking forward to your forthcoming visit and the arrival of the spring
thaw.
Sincerely yours,
._fq/SS
Fred J. Morris
