I recently had an opportunity to discuss with
Chairman Russell the details involved in the
contingency withdrawal reported to the Committee on
Appropriations on December 23, 1968.
Chairman Russell has no objection to the Agency
proceeding with this project as long as its scope is
limited to obtaining the capability as distinguished from
the performing of the actual operation.
