1. The technical monitor telephoned =on 27 August to check on
the progress of the project since the last monitor visit of 9 August
1968.

financial statement. I tated it would take some time to prepare
the cost breakdown. To prevent further delay in the contract, both
sides agreed to have the next negotiation meeting at =on 4 September
1968.

little to show in har ware and breadboards other than the i le cor-
relation system (pass point locator) they exhibited at the Photogram-
metry Show in Washington this past Spring. 0 said they had some
excellent ideas but it still would take an awful lot of money to make
them bear fruit. 0 would only consider shifting to

5. The Jtechnical monitor informed that the Technical
I?erfarmancead expressed interest in the aser interferometer used
in the feasibility and design phase of the project. This laser-
interferometer will also be used as an experimental model during the
25X1 fabrication stage. feels that after many modifications and
much use, the laser interferometer ill not be of much use to the
Technical Performance Division at th end of the project.
