Transfer of Funds to the Office of Naval Research
for Project OKYGAB/A ( olphins)
ORD Requisition 85i65 dated 27 Decebor 1964
Navy Contract NONR 4568(00)
1. The Office of Research and Development requests that funds
in the amount of $81,000 be transferred to the Office of Naval Re-
search in order that now training facility construction may be ef-
fected by Navy on Project OXYGASIA (reference a & b).
2. The new dolphin training facilities are to be constructed
on the U.S. Naval Base at Key West, Florida. The attached maps
and drawings provide specific details relating to the proposed con-
struction. The Office of Naval Research should be instructed during
the course of funds transfer that CIA does not wish to proceed with
the construction of building B called for in the attached drawings.
3. The requirement for the proposed construction of a new
dolphin training facility at Key West has been influenced by the
following factors:
a. The dolphin training program has progressed to tt point
e simulated operational mis ions are now necessary. The
.ity arrangements at the existing site at Grassy Key, Fla.
nadequate for this type of endeavor.
b. The existing facility at Grassy Key is inadequate from
an animal housing and range area standpoint to accommodate the
next phase of wor%.
4. Of the $61,000 to be used for construction purposes, $6S1,000
is eararhed for basic construction, e.g., animal pens, fencing,
piers, etc. $15,000 is for an animal maintenance and storage build-
ing including refrigeration for food supplies for the dolphins. It
will be noted in the attached proposal from j
that the contractor originally requested $75,000 for the construction
costs. Subsequent discussions with the contractor have resulted in
agreements to have certain additional construction work done at this
time which, if delayed further, would result in excessive construc-
tion costs. The proposed subcontractor for the basic construction

This concern was selected not only because it submitted the lowest
construction bid but also because of the high recommendations pro-
vided by U.S. Navy officials at Key West, Fla.
5. Detailed coordination meetings on all phases of the planned
construction have been held with the Office of Naval Research and
Admiral Christopher, Commander of the Key West Naval District.
Complete concurrence on these plans has been received froa all Navy
officials involved.
6. Dr, John Adkins, Assistant Chief Scientist, Office of
Naval Research, is the cognizant official on this project. There
are no recommended changes in the previous securitl& reporting, or
sterility code arrangements. extension 4218,
is the project officer on this contract and will monitor its execu-
tion.

1. Approval is recommended for
ment of a new
ith
u study and develop
methods of dynamic filtering of speech signals.
This program is proposed for a 12 month period at
an estimated cost of $49,684.
2. The program includes a study to determine
the best audio signal processing methods for a real-
time dynamic filtering system; that is, an electronic
filter system which would periodically change its
characteristics to best sUPPress the effects of additive
background noises. This will improve the intelligibility
of speech recordings that have been corrupted by
additive noise and furthermore, will reduce the fatigue
induced by listening to such tapes for extended periods.
3. The initial dynamic filtering experiments
will be carried out by sampling and quantizing the
speech plus noise signals and storing the digital data
in a computer. Dynamic filtering operations will then
be programmed End carried out digitally. The advantage
of initial experimentation with a general purpose
computer lies in the accuracy with which the operations
can be carried out, and the flexibility with which the

processing techniques can be modified for experimental
purposes. These initial experiments will be done in
non-real-time, but lead to the later design and
construction of a real-time dynamic filtering system.
4. This project is part of a general program
within AP/ORD to improve the recovery of intelligence
from existing and future recordings made from audio
surveillance devices. The proposed program is an out-
growth of a previous broad study, 'MetIodfeech
Processing for Communications" done by for
