trailer frame assembly will be inspected early in September. Progress on
the production to date has been very satisfactory and first unit delivery
still appears possible by the end of the year. At this writing, the only
delays foreseeable are those which may occur through non-delivery or
insufficient delivery of certain Government furnished items. These
items include Control Unit CP-4, Antenna Coupler TAC-1, and Multi-
plex Control Links.
6. At long last, four of the much heralded AFSAM 7 machines will be
delivered to us in October. At that time, we can begin local testing and
determine the specific procedures required for our use. However, do
not look for their utilization in the field before next year.

10. No doubt most if not all, of you have heard about the drasitc personnel
ceiling and budget limitations imposed by Congress. For FY-54 and 55 we
are limited personnel-wise to the number we had on duty as of mid-night
30 June. This means that no additional commitments can be undertaken unless
we are relieved of present duties. This means that if a project requires
five additional people another project or projects must be reduced that num-
ber. It is appropriate therefore, that each activity be reviewed to determine
whether or not every slot presently filled is absolutely necessary. This, you
should;-do with a very critical eye. If you find an activity that is not fully
productive and absolutely essential, please let me know. There is no "fat"
unless you can, by this critical review, bring it to light.
11. The Company is restricted budget-wise for FY-54 and FY-55 to the
amount obligated in FY-53. This means that we will not be able to procure
equipment, other than that necessary to maintain existing facilities. It also
means that we will, have to curtail travel to some extent. We have been given
a specific amount from which we must meet all of our commitments. There is
no "kitty". If we watch our operations carefully and increase the efficiency
of our management. I am sure that we can continue to carry out all the
things that are absolutely necessary. I request your whole-hearted coopera-
tion to carry out our commitments to our customers and still live within our
means.
