1. It is the purpose of this memorandum to certify that
certain proposed expansion of R-W facilities are desirable,
necessary and apparently economical. The expansions in question
are:
(a) approximately 20,000 square feet o:P leased space
and leasehold improvements for Communication
Division personnel engaged in work on Systems
Two, Three and Four.
.,,.. _~~
(b) approximately 15 acres of leased land and the~"`';.1 ~?~~'
erection of appropriate radio transmitting l ~ ,.r~~~ ~
and receiving facilities thereon necessary to
properly develop and test System TwoR(both
Contmo and Navigation phases).

svs,J~cr: F~?ansion of Facilities at Ramo-Woolridge for Project Aquatone
2. Both of the above sites have been examined by the Luider-
signed. The leased building, mentioned in (a) above, is virtually
adjacent; to the existing R-W facilities occupied by the Communica-
tion Division and should provide a large measure of efficiency and
coordination between the various project groups because of the
convenif:nce afforded by the co -location of facilities, The lease-
hold im}~rovements (now in progress) appear reasonable and consis-
tent with the general nature of the present facilities. There is
no evidence of extravagence or unwarranted appointments. On the
other hand, the site for the radio station facilities is remotely
located and involves approximately one hour's driving time to reach.
The land involved is ideally located and arranged for the proposed
employrnenc. The structures and improvements proposed by the con-
tractor appear reasonable, economical and warranted by the project.
In muT judUment, there is no alternate to the approval of this or
a similar radio test site if the work on System 2C and 2N is to
proceed beyond its present development stage..
