requirements for our R & D items are being procured. through the SAC
contracts. Ibwever, other Aix Force commands such as the Aeronautical
art and Information Center at St. uia are studying A R & D items
as they prepare to extend their uses of'ALZ materials into the 25X1

'A. No, attempt has been made here to set down the names of the
Ate commands who are expressing interest and need for
ems of A & 3 equipment. The net effect of our indoctrination
sources is a growing awareness on their part that resolu-

grouted through improper processing, enlarging, etc. Further., the cost
a risk required to gather WIM materials makes it plainly clear
that anything which we can do on the ground to increase the scope a
efficiency of our exploitation of this material is very much in order.
It is my opinion that the ale frontier of exploitation technology
hae roved forward several years to at least keep in sight of the
breakthrough in collection technology which you have lead. I feel
that the military services and. others as well appreciate the collective
bution .ch is being made by CIA to the c non good of all.
