1, Attached hereto is a paper entitled "Justification for
Penetration Flights by AQUATONE Based on Intelligence Requirements"
which has been prepared by the Ad Hoc Requirements Committee on
AQUATONE in pursuance of your request for its views on this subject.
We hope that it will be useful in the presentation which is being prepared
for the President in the near future looking toward permission for the
resumption of penetration flights.

preparing this paper we have made our best effort to define the-
minimum important things essential to the solution of the intel>
ligence problems outlined.

4. In view of the limitations which relate to the use of the
C configuration, it is the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Requirements
Committee that missions using the C configuration should be based
upon--& careful examination of the product of missions using the B
or A.-2 configuration, preferably the former, in which case the
Committee would be in a position to explain what additional benefit
is going to be received.
