The manpower loading of the project is behind schedule. As a result
only about 25;j' of the planncd work to date has been accomplished. However,
the situation is improving rapidly. Before I had left, the General manager
of the laboratories told me the AR/A-18 was given top priority for staff-
ing and by Tuesday (23 August) there were three more engineers assigned
to the project. One more engineer will put us at full strength. This
next reporting period should show a significant jwnp in progress.

The specification for the IIF receiver which is a part of the AR/A-18
receiving station has been completed. Requests for quotes will be mailed
lionday (29 August) to three companies: ' 25X1A5a1
