Agenda Item No . 1:
Procurement of additional CO-B/8, CA-3, and
HE-8 equipment.
Additional units of the equipment mentioned
above are presently on order. However, at
the time the Equipment Board last approved
procurement of these equipments, it was
generally recognized that eMitional, units
would be required, but it was expected that
these could be procured later concurrent
with military order for Special Forces.
The military is now in the process of con-
tracting for this equipment and it is ap-
propriate that the Board now consider
whether current on hand/on order quantities
of these units are sufficient for Office
needs.

oC_E will make a presentation regarding the
selection of the contractor for the MAX-1.
