USAF OXC-O2b 24 November 1959 As you know; we have been giving considerable thought to the factors that have a bearing on the selection of a development and testing base for the joint ,Air Force/CIA Project OXCART. Attached` hereto is a copy of a staff study which enumerates.t=je man considerations involved and which concludes that 25X1 Iis the best selection that can be. made.' I find the reasoning of this paper persuasive, but of course desire to.have the comments of the Air Force before taking any action. I w6uld_g ppreciate receiving the reactions.of the Air Force as soon as they can con veniently be gathered. RICI RD .M. BISSELL, JR. Deputy Director (Plans) Enclosure:.
