Dear Sir:
Enclosed is a copy of the pathology report relating
to the 2 falcons. This concerns only 1 falcon but the
other, performed by another lab. ,is essentially the
same. You may note that the report states "etiology-un-

animals and birds for certain intelligence activities. Some of
this work has been jointly funded by ARPA. The Agency has

Dave,
Here is the Reiser/Adkins BIRD mess. Basically what's wrong
with the ORD approach is that they assume they have proven the
feasibility of the BIRD camera approach and that it will have
fairly wide-spread application.
If they proved feasibility in last years efforts with the
pigeons, it escaped me. If they proved,it why are we starting 4
all over again this year? If they proved it,why are we ordering
new prototype cameras?
