NENDRANDUM FOR: General Cabell
SUBJECT : Possible Amalgamation of Some AMD
Responsibilities With AQUATONE
1. For some months we have discussed subject matter on a
piece-meal basis with inconclusive findings. I am not convinced
that a complete merger of the Air Maritime Division and Project
AQUATONE is a good idea, but do believe that considerable merit
might be derived by a more thorough and formal study of the sub-
ject, including an investigation into the possibility of AQUATONE
assuming some of the responsibilities now vested in AND.
2. As the responsibility for such a study does not fall di-
rectly under either my jurisdiction or the DDP, I believe it would
be more appropriate for you to direct the conduct of such a study.
I would further suggest that a group qualified to undertake such
a study would be the newly organized, Project AQUATONE Planning
Group.
