1. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE EXTENDED USE OF
TYPE II (REF A), ALL OF THE PLANNING AND CONSIDERATION WAS BASED ON
A 30/90 DAY EXERCISE AND WE RESPONDED ACCORDINGLY. WHILE REF B DOES
NOT STATE SPECIFICALLY THAT THE TYPE II SYSTEM IS TO BE ACTIVELY
ENGAGED IN STAGING UNTIL 30 NOV 67, I ASSUME THAT OUR COMMENTS ARE
SOLICITED ON THAT POSSIBILITY.
2. I HAVE ALREADY STATED MANY OF THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE
ORIGINAL EXTENSION IN REF C. EXTENSION BEYOND THE ORIGINAL 1 JULY
67 DATE COMPOUNDS THESE PROBLEMS (BUT DOES NOT MAKE THEM UNSOLVABLE)
IF WE ARE EXTENDED UNTIL 30 NOV 67. FURTHERMORE, IF THERE IS ANY

REMOTE POSSIBILITY OR BLUE SKY THINKING ABOUT COMMITMENTS BEYOND
30 NOV 67 WHICH INVOLVES TYPE II, WE NEED DEFINITE GUIDE LINES AND
DIRECTION NOW IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THESE PERIODIC EXTENSIONS.
EQUIPMENT, PERSONNEL AND COMPANY ATTITUDE'AND RESPONSE ARE AT STAKE.
3? TO ANSWER REF At LET ME REDIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO REF C
AND D AND THEN ADD THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS BASED ON A POSSIBLE TYPE II
STAGING/OPERATIONAL COMMITMENT FROM NOW UNTIL 30 NOV 67.
A. WITH THE PRESENT TIME SCALE,, I MUST CONCEDE AND RECOMMEND
THAT WE MAKE NO ATTEMPTS TO IRAN OR. RETROFIT THE TYPE II EQUIPMENT.
WHILE RECOGNIZING THE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS OF RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE,
I SUGGEST THAT WE USE THE EQUIPMENT IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION UNTIL
OBVIOUS TROUBLES DEVELOP. IF YOU CONCUR, THEN I WILL PLAN NO IN-HOUSE
SUPPORT FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK. SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THIS WORK MUST
BE GIVEN IF ANY FURTHER EXTENSION IS CONTEMPLATED.
B. DUE TO WHAT I EXPECT WILL BE AN EXTREMELY LONG LEAD TIME FOR
PROCURING ADDITIONAL GROUND PRE-CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT (OR SPARES),
I ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE DO NOT PURSUE THIS MATTER FURTHER. OUR
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE BASED ON LAUNCHING ONLY ONE TYPE II SYSTEM AT
A TIME. AGAIN THIS IS ESSENTIAL IF FURTHER EXTENSION CONTEMPLATED
AND DECISION SHOULD BE MADE NOW RPT' NOW.
C. ALTHOUGH PROCUREMENT OF FANS FOR A SECOND AUX AIR BOX
(REF C, PARA 2D) MAY TAKE 6-8 WEEKS, I SUGGEST WE PROCEED TO
PREPARE A SECOND BOX FOR A SPARE.
D. RECOMMEND NO FURTHER ACTION ON GYROS. WE WILL OPERATE
WITH THE SPARES ON HAND. AS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED, A NEW APPROACH TO
GYROS IS REQUIRED IF WE ARE TO STAY IN BUSINESS.

25X1A E. THE DECISION TO RETROFIT THE REMAINING TWO MAIN WINDOWS IS
UP TO HE TIME REQUIRED IS ABOUT 3 WEEKS TURN AROUND
PER ASSEMBLY.
F. SUGGEST NO ADDITIONAL ACTION ON AUTO/FOCUS SYSTEM AND WE
WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN PROGRAMMED CONDITION. THIS WOULD BE
PART OF RETROFIT ACTIVITY IF AUTHORIZED.
4. PEOPLE WILL BE OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM'. STATUS LOOKS LIKE:
25X1A A. RANSFERRED BY 15 JUNE 67.
25X1A (STILL PLANNING TO HAVE-RETURN WALT DURING WEEK OF 12 JUNE
67. )
25X1A B. 0 ACT AS FIELD SUPERVISOR FOLLOWING WALT?S
DEPARTURE, BUT IS STILL COMMITTED TO NEW JOB BY SEPT/OCT.
25X1A C. AVAILABLE FOR ROTATIONAL
25X1A
25X1AFIELD DUTY ASSIGNMENTS. HOWEVER, MAY WANT TO RELOCATE _A ND
0 ROCHESTER IN AUGUST AND TD'Y. FROM, HERE.
D. IF YOU ARE TO EXTEND TYPE II STAGING ACTIVITY BEYOND 1 JULY
67, I MUST START IMMEDIATELY TO SELECT, TRAIN AND PASSPORT OTHER
IN-HOUSE PEOPLE WHO CAN ROTATE WITH THE BASIC CREW NOW AT
E. STAGING FIELD STRENGTH OF f OUR PEOPLE STILL BASED ON
25X1A
ASSUMPTION OF SINGLE TYPE II LAUNCH NO MORE THAN TWICE PER WEEK.25X1A
SHOULD THIS REQUIREMENT CHANGE OR SHOUL ENVIRONMENT BE
OTHER THAN EXPECTED, THIS NUMBER MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED.
F. ASSUMING NO IRAN OR RETROFIT WORK* WE WOULD MAINTAIN IN-HOUSE
SUPPORT AT LOW LEVEL. RESPONSIBILIT'! WOULD BE TO SUPPORT FIELD AND
TRAIN TD Y PERSONNEL.
