Dear
Thank you for your July 22 letter. I appreciate your efforts
to tone dawn the bard-sell contained in the informal proposal.
At first when 4iacusaing the idea with I was
reluctant to have the working paper submitted to the IHC
for the reasons you mentioned. I believe that the Phase "0"
study effort is a necessary prerequisite to formulating
smy position, official or otherwise. Fortunately, we are
now reed to initiate the necessary ARP
and his p who will work with
defining the applications and payoffs
if such a network were, in fact, a reality. Their efforts
mot succeed, however, without the enthusiastic support
of CIA executives. Here, your assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
I will be out of the office during August I-24. Let's plan
to meet when I return. Thanks again for your assistance
and support.
Sincerely yours,
(SIGNED)
John F. an
