Subject: International Consultancy and Research Organization
Dear Mr. Casey:
It is my understanding that your agency has an interest in maintaining a
high level of competency in the areas of scholarship, science, and
technology.
I believe that I may be 'of some service to you in this regard.
I would like to bring to your attention. the formation of a major
international consultancy and research organization.
This organization is to be known as Group Alpha and it is to be divided
into nine areas of specialization. These are:
1. Mathematics
2. Computer Science
3. Physics
4. Chemistry
5. Modern Foreign Languages
6. Mechanical Engineering
7. Electrical Engineering
8. Chemical Engineering
9. Indusrtial Engineering

But the primary function of Group Alpha will be, to act as an interface
betweeen Academia, Industry, and Government,.
The group is to go into operation in three separate steps:
1. The local level.
2. The National effort.
3. The International plan.
The first step-is local recruitment in the Huntsville, Alabama area and
Huntsville will serve as the headquarters of the
group.
It is estimated that a minimum staff of 1000 members will be en

The second step will be the national level organization of
