At the meeting on 9 January 1965 (Saturday), it was left by
that I would be in touch with (DIA), to arrange
for his meeting with the people to discuss DIA's requirements
in terms of collecting photography for the 2" resolution study.
I avoided calling him until our own problems with the PI studies
were somewhat in hand. On 14 January, called while I
was out, and then of course, I was obligated to respond.
I suggested that he prepare to specify parameters for flights and
acquisition by working out, in one form or another, the experimental
basis of the testing. I explained that our people would
be pretty intensely occupied with the special, short-term study until the
middle or end of March and that unfortunately we could not spare them for
an effort which, as was concluded at the 9 January meeting, does not
coincide with our immediate commitment. I reiterated that we would be
able to get to their area of concern in time and that, meanwhile, we
would be happy to direct and coordinate a reasonable collection program
for them. That program would make use of the RA-5C out of Columbus
and also of the contract with for aid in planning and
implementing material collection for us.
I also suggested that, to establish the theoretical basis of the
overall study, he turn to the group at the Army Personnel Office
1 1, since they have developed many of their
performance measures on the basis of tactical photographic coverage.
They could help him decide just how much of the study should involve
aspects of interpretation as opposed to mensuration.
seemed satisfied (momentarily and seemed willing to do
some reconnoitering on his own. I explained labsence, and
