degree the ideas which you and I discussed with the contractor
on two previous occasions. I would appreciate your review of
Parts / and II from the operational point of view. In partic-
ular, I would like to know whether the demonstration of feasi-

operational interest to your office. In addition, I would
like to be certain that your group would act as the operational
monitor of the project if it is approved. It would be our
intention to monitor the scientific, technical, and management
phases of the project. Operational monitoring of this project

bility for redirection of the program to enhance its opera-
tional usefulness.
