1.
I certainly was impressed by the_Study on an Executive/
25X1
Operational aircraft. Would you ask them to pursue it just a bit
further:
a. What would an approximate leasing cost be of
something like a Lear Jet 56 or a Jet Star II or a
Gulfstream II?
b. Is it possible that somebody like NASA already
has a leased aircraft which they would be willing to
share--that is, we would pick up a proportionate part
of their lease?
c. What about the 186 surplus or excess aircraft
for the 22 confiscated or seized aircraft. I suppose
none of the surplus are likely to be satisfactory in
quality, but what do the Drug Enforcement and Customs
people do with confiscated aircraft after a period of
time? Perhaps they are available for an inter-agency
transfer at nominal or no cost?
d. Could we explore quietly with ERDA, FAA and
Customs what kind of leased aircraft they have and
whether they would be interested in sharing a lease if
we took one--in short, they already have some leases of
their own but perhaps another quarter or half an aircraft
might be something they would be interested in?

2. Would you also look at possible cost tradeoffs:
a. e.g., I assume if we had a Gulfstream II, we
could dispense with Gulfstream I. What does it cost
us per year to run the Gulfstream I?
b. e.g., What have we spent in Fiscal Year 1977
and Fiscal Y r 1978 for leased aircraft, i.e., from
the USAF?
