over-all national problem of integrating the national guided missile

ranges and world-wide control and tra"c3dng facilities. He informed

the Council that he is working with Dr: Keith Mennen., NASA; Mr.

Quarles, Deputy Secretary of Defense; Mr. Johnson. Director of

ARPA; and Gen. Erskine, Assistant to the Secretary of Defense

(Special Operatiois), further to develop and present proposals for

better integration of the national missile ranges and related

instrumentation with the National Space launching and tracking

facilities, and to recommend management procedures.

Forces Policy Council members keep the problems raised under 

contin matitgyr. He also suggested that after proposals had been

worked out by the Glenna-Quarles group, they be presented for

further review with the prospect that these matters will eventually

need to be brought to the attention of the National Space Council or

the National Security Council.
