Dear Harold:
Members of m staff visited a number
Special Project
from 12 April to pri 9 8. I read with great interest a trip
report prepared for me on that visit. Several organizations were singled
out for special recognition in the trip report.
ease convey my sense o a Joff
well done to the above-named individuals and to the other individuals
associated with the Army's effort to take the theory behind the national--
tactical interface and subject it to the exigencies of the real world
where systems limitations, as well as human failings, dictate how effe---
tively near-real-time intelligence support can be provided to tactical
forces.
Finally, I would like to indicate that it has been reported to me
that V Corps, VII Corps and the USAFE Collection Management Office made
very positive contributions to this important project. Please convey
my personal appreciation, therefore, to Lt. General Sid Berry and
Lt. General Dave Ott for their contributions[ I
