Chernack), 6 February 1969
B. My 11 February 1969 Visit to Contractor's
Facility to Observe Current Actions on
Animal Program
C. Our Recent Discussions with -Respect to
Current and Future Programs in Animal
Studies
1. A recommendation for your approval is contained in paragraph
� 2. The DD/SarT program relating to the utilization of trained
animals has provided useful information to the DDP/TSD. Currently
the program involves the development of an operational capability
for emplacement of audio and other devices using a trained crow as
the transport and action vehicle, and the development of several cats
for operational evaluation as an audio surveillance vehicle. The
work with crows is directly related to specific DDP operational re-
quirements. and it is planned that TSD will provide funds in the
amount of $70.000 in FY 1970 for continuation and improvement of
this trained animal capability.
3. Additional R & D support by DD/S&T/ORD would continue
to contribute information of value to DDP/TSD in providing more

optimized systems, as well as rIew system concepts for Agency appli-
cations. I understand that there are no funds programmed for R & D
support of the trained animal program by DD/S&T/ORD for FY 1970.
4. I think a modest level of forward looking R & D activity
designed to improve the guidance systems and operational versatil-
ity of various animals should be maintained. I. therefore, recom-
mend that you approve such a DD/SatT/ORD research effort for
FY 1970.
