1. Based upon our recent visit to San Diego is 25X1
convinced that the area fully meets program requirements for targets.
Specifically, there exists in San Diego a multiplicity of the required
seven targets and a good selection of ancillary targets within a very
few miles of the primary target complex.
During the visit we were made cognizant of frequent low altitude
(700 - 800 feet) stratus clouds. At that time these clouds generally
formed in late evening and burned off around 10 kM. YHis situation
is forecasted by persons familiar with the area to improve during
the scheduled. operations period.
2. Primary targets were examined and confirmed as follows:
a. Airfield - Lindbergh Field (municipal airport)
Contact Manager. Ground station in 25X1
Southeast corner of airport.
b. Railroad yard - Santa Fe freight yard (Beardsky Street and U.
S. Highway 101)
Contact Ground station in
center of yard.

ancillary targets as possible within program funding limits. To facilitate
operations, please indicate which of the following ancillary targets best
suit your needs.

A requirement to refurbish the RS-7 closed cycle cooler prior
to system modification has resulted in schedule slippage of 3.bout two weeks
beyond that presented called out in my letter of May 5. Currently we
envision completion of the data collection operation in San Diego prior to
July 1. 1964. We will advise when operations will begin as the date
becomes firm giving you as much lead time as possible.
Sincerely,
Project Manager
