management has failedin its responsibility to assign a full-time
Program Manager withtfull responsibility for all aspects of the
program. Many persons have had some responsibility. As a result,
the program has been poorly guided.
This program has lagged somewhat.
On all recent visits the contractor was advised that the program
has been given ineffective guidance and that this should be corrected if
it is hoped to effect a continuation of the program in FY-66.
Some work has been performed but at a level below expectations.
has now been assigned full responsibility for the:
program and appears to be doing quite well. However, he must progress
rapidly in order to make-up for the lost time since 1 June 1964.
