MEMORANDUM FOR GENERAL SCHRIEVER

SUBJECT: ARPA Order #2-38

After a series of conferences with BMD, R-W and

ARPA representatives concerning the above subject, my Staff

have prepared the necessary implementing documents which will

provide the basis for proceeding expeditiously with the project.

Attached hereto are a proposed Determination and Findings and

a summary Procurement Plan.

It is my understanding that the Determination and

Findings will be signed by the Director of ARPA in his capacity

as a Head of a Department co-equal with the military departments under the Department of Defense. The Charter for this

new ARPA presumably encompasses all of the authorities delegated to Service Department Heads. As soon as we have been

notified of the approval of the Determination and Findings and

upon receipt of citation of funds, all contracts involved can be

placed immediately.

3. I would like to point out that this project is being

launched on a basis of sound authority and reflects an approach

that in my judgment should have been taken in Project Able.

Specifically, all subsequent actions will be placed upon clearcut authority to follow special procedures; all interested elements of organisations concerned are fully coordinated at the

start; and the entire procedure is one which can be fully justified if necessary at a later date by anyone simply by referring

to the project documentation.
