MEMOE.AAY.L VM FOR
SUBJECT : Status of ABM Study
1. As you know the Working Group has now completed a substantial
part of the work necessary for the ABM Study. There now exists a fully
structured network, including complete sets of the requisite accuracies and
of relative values. We propose, in the near future, to issue the network as
the main feature of an interim report.
Z. The Study has now progressed to the point where only one more
data input is required from the participating agencies -- the use and charac-
teristics of collectors. With this input, all of the necessary information
would be available and the analytic process could begin.
3. We are attempting to complete the Study by 1 May 1969. It is
unlikely that less than two months would be adequate to process the data,
perform the analysis, and write the report -- all in the manner in which
we would like to see it done and with Working Group and Committee
participation.
4. To meet this deadline the inputs on collectors would have to be
available by the end of this month, or the early part of next month at the
very latest. Should any of the inputs not be available, we believe our
schedule may make It necessary to develop them from materials now
available to us.
5. We believe that with an appropriate commitment the inputs would
be available in time. If we can help, please call on us.
