from FY 1968 n n s ~

_ ~ ~ o w n on

the

adjacent

spread

5heet. The -1

nnding

proposed.

_

1 s shown in

breakdown ~ o r ~

on the spread sheet .

This

procedure is suggested

rather

t h ~ l . a

~ i n g

. J to contribute during

F Y 1 9 ~ 8

because the Agency can fund

_/through

to January 1969 with

fu:_ds that are

presently

available f rom

FY1968.

As o January 1969,

however,

we

have

no funds

that

we

can commit.

I t is

anticipated

that with a successful

ser ies of demonstrations

between

now

and January

1969 that we will go back

to o u ~

management

and

request further

funding

_ or carrying

on

worthwhile

tasks

of

this

type.

The

reason

it

is felt

that /should be extended

past

June 30, 1968 is 'because of

the

lack

of ability

to

give the program

comtJlete

orientation

nntil after the three

month

study program proposed

by

.

through

the program management

f irm

has been completed. Even iC

we

could

s tar t a t this

point

in time

it would

be the

end

of March before we

co.uld ~ o w

what is

really

expected of the contractor. Therefore,

it is

felt that

the

--

I

contract

should

be

continued

from June

3 0,

1968 to January 1, 1969 in

order

to completely and effectively orient this program. The purpose of the FY 1968

funding will

be

to

examine

the

feasibility and

practicability

o the animal control,

signalling,

guidance, and

location system proposed

previously.

In addition, it

is felt t h ~ t

the

. . ; proposal

for

_ )should

be undertaken at

this

t ime

and

we

therefore

propose

to

split

the

cost

o

this

effort

between

\

and mysdf.

We

feel that

this

should be nndertaken

at this

time

in

OA der

to

~ e g i n

studying

m e c h a ~ i s m s , b o ~ h a ~ i m a l and_

hardware, to

be

used

\

. . J

and

to

do this covertly and

in _ a

n o n a t t r i b ~ t a b l e

fashion-. .. We

als

o-fee-I'that as soon

as possible

we should

_u_ndertake, at least on an i ~ - h ? u s e basis, a - }study, i . e . ,

;confisurations,

_

..

. tcharacterist ics, . sys tem characteristics, flow

ra t

_es,

and

the like. Also, at the earl iest possible

time,

we

feel

that we should

undertake

a

\ ~ l t e r n a t i v e study, i . e .

I t is

proposed by

\and

agreed

to

>Y

the

Agency

that

i t

would

be highly

desirable

to acquire

the

services

of

a

program management group

who will be

expected to

respond

to the govern.nent program m anager and in addition, to

conduct

a three month study o the

problems and ramifications

be

to

achieve an

)in

FY1968

FY1969,

it

is

proposed that fcontribute

the

estimated

cost

of development

of these animal vehicles

as

shown on

the

spread sheet. This

would

constitute the total contribution

in

FY1968 and

i t would

be anticipated that unless

policy takes place,

all

the contribution

for

in FY1969

would

have

to be borne by -

addition

to

the development

outlined

above; we wouid continue to

do

some

small amount

with

highly desirable

because

of the

much

lower ~ p e n s e

of ~ t i l i z i n g cats as

experimental

vehicles or laboratory work than dogs.
