1. Refers e A is notification o t called by
MOOS Program lanager for 1400 tours, reit 1946.
is to prepare an agenda for another meetiog to be held
tuxent River Ravel Air Station on MOnday, 28 !birch 1966.
2. 1 wish to emphasize again that oft will support )1T)in its effort to "prove the concept" with one aircraft. We
will also plan for development of a CRIGOZ capability, 14sed
en the data gleaned from the ORD program. The continuation
of any GSA program to achieve a low altitude multi sensor
capability depends directly on the success or failure of thii
OM task and the s bsequert allocation of reeponeibilite and
funds.
3. ORD has been directed to run CR Oell ae an Agency
program. laikeviee, OPA has been directed to plan the follow-
on operational employment as an Agency-funded and Agency
controlled capability. GSA Program Plans for FY 1968 include
an estimate of some $45 million.to develop and employ
imitable airframe -with a multioseasor array. All the MODE
items which would normally be funded by SRO aro now Resumed
to be included in the Agency budget requests.
4. The first phase of CH1008, the deve1omont, test
and proof of concept' vith the single 311420 aircraft now at
LIT, is to be funded solely by ORD. They have, however,
requested ODA aesistance in getting Nome supplies and egoist-
ance from other government sources guch as the USAF. I
desire that we make every effort to do so without any oxeoaotc
of funds, if possible. lf such services and oouipment cannot,
for good and sufficient roason, he acquired without payment
