Declass Review by NGA.
Reference is made to our telephone conversation on 4 April 1966,
pertaining to our reply tol letter, dated 1 April 1966,
subject: "Confirmation of March 29, 1966 Meeting."
It is recommended that the body of our reply letter read as
follows:
1. The second paragraph of your letter, dated
1 April 1966, subject: "Confirmation of March 29, 1966 Meeting."
2. Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the purchase
description for the Contact Duplicating and Reseau Printer.
The Government will co-operate in any way possible to ensure
that the films employed in the tests under paragraph 4.2 will be
sufficiently representative of the real media to be utilized in the
tests under paragraph 4.3. It is not to be construed that the
Government will guarantee acceptance of the printer based on the
tests under paragraph 4.2.
It is suggested that this letter be forwarded tol
as soon as possible in order to prevent a possible misunderstanding
on the Contractor's part.

Gentlemen:
presented its position that the additional
exceed, principally in the area of frame edge detection,
was effort above and beyond the scope of the contract.
This claim was based on the general premise that
had no access to the real media within which the frame
edges were to be detected; nor, did the specification
in the contract explicitly define the frame edge condi-
tions to be accommodated. It was during the course of the
contract that the Government established the 0.2 density
difference as the minimum density difference which the
printer would be required to sense frame edges. However,
because it is impossible to demonstrate the difference
between this definition, the implication in the specifica-
tion, and the intent of the contract,Igreed to
relinquish its claim for the additional fee applicable to
those items which we consider Change In Scope.
placed particular stress on the continuing problem
we face in designing and testing a printer without direct
access to the input film it must process and on which the
printer will be tested. The inability of the Government
to permit this access, and additionally, to provide samples
which are equivalent of this material, has been a major
source of design difficulty and program dela To circum-
vent this problem, it was reaffirmed that I Iwould make
up test samples representing the conditions suggested by the

Government. It was agreed that Government representatives
would examine and measure these samples to determine their
validity as test media. It was agreed that the Government
would certify such samples as being sufficiently represen-
tative of the real media and that the Government would base
its acceptance testing of the Printer on these samples.
