asked me to gat in touch with you to
request that you reconfigure the life raft release system
presently employed by 4 CART pilots. As we understand it,
the life raft is deployed and inflated prior to the pilot's
contact with the surface. would like to 25X1A
rearrange this system, where y the pilot has an option either
prior to take-off or prior to ejection. It is understandable
that if he is over water it would be a good idea to have the
life raft preinflated prior to splash. However, if he is
over land and fools that he has a chance to use the life raft,.
It is obvious he would rather carry it deflated. Will you
look into the possibilities of this err ns A=mnt av%A
