MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Program Approval - 3-75 Engines
1. Some weeks ago I presented the attached program approval for
signature. This covers the configuration of four aircraft to take the J-75
engine. At that time, the Director orally authorized me to have the work
started but said he preferred to postpone a formal approval until after our
approach to the President.
2. You will remember that on the occasion of the approach to the
President, reference was made to the 3-75 program by General Twining.
Later, when the President announced his final decision to Secretary McElroy,
I specifically mentioned that we were planning to go ahead with this improve-
ment. I believe, therefore, that we are properly covered. The work is now
well advanced and I believe this approval should be signed as a confirmation
of the earlier and informal decisions and to satisfy the requirements of our
regulations.
