MORANDUM FOR: Special Assistant to the Director for Planning
Honor Awards with Particular Reference
to HTAUTOMAT
1. You recall I discussed with you Dr. Guthe's suggestion that
I take the initiative in obtaining an honor award for Art Lundahl. I have
discussed this matter with and the Secretary of the Honor
Awards Board, OWN,,=
2. After taking into account what seemed to me to be bona fide
administrative problems'which Art would face if he received an homer
award in the face of the extraordinary labors of his people, I come up
with two propositions:
a. That Mr. Duties send the unit a letter of recognition
along the lines of the draft attached as Tab A. and
b. That, as has suggested. I appear before
the Honor Awards Board and orally present the reasons why this
office recommends an award for Art.
3. For your information, there is attached as Tab B the pertinent
Regulation. No. R. ZO 635. I have noted with red the intelligence awards
that may be appropriate as well as the provision on page 3 for the letter of
recognition.
4. In our discussion of this matter, yax were interested also
in the relevance of this matter of honor awards to the personnel in
AQUATONE. Though I am by no means competent to suggest all who
might be considered for such awards. I do believe that honor awards
would be in order at this time particularly for (within the group of my
acquaintance)
It may well be that Jim Cunningham should be included in this list.

5. If it should be argued that such awards should be delayed
pending the conclusion of their activities, I would like to offer the
suggestion that if they are deserved to date they ought to be given.
Certainly we cannot overlook the stimulus which would come from the
receipt of these awards and the lift which the recipients would get for
their continuing activities.
6. I'm also forwarding to you the thank you notes which Art
had received and which you had expressed an interest in seeing (Tab C).
