MEMORANDUM FOR COLONEL MARTIN

SUBJECT: Lt Col Trakowald's Conference with Dr. Dryden

Lt Col Trakowski called this morning to advise me of a

conference which be had with Dr. Dryden. I was pleased that be

was able to arrange such a conference, since I have felt that a

clear understanding of the military position is an essential prerequisite to Dr. Dryden's success at the. Rome meeting.

Lt Col Trakowski asked Dr. Dryden if he had ever heard

anyone seriously propose turning off the NDABUS sensors over the

USSR. Dr. Dryden replied, in a Jocular manner, that he had proposed this himself in some conversations of the Working Group.

Lt Col Tralcowski advised that he took Dr. Dryden to task for this

remark, and believes he impressed him with the fact that the

military are extraordinarily serious about the non-negotiability of

observation from apace.

He says that he ran through a series of points with Dr. Dryden

refreshing his memory on national military space policy. He

stressed the fact that we would not negotiate such matters as launch

stand inspection, advance notification of launching, data exchange

agreements, and personnel exchange agreements. Dr. Dryden

speed that no general agreements would be made at the meeting.

There was also some discussion about disciplining the U. S. delegation. Dr. Dryden advised that he plans to do this by telling the

delegation that he will do all of the talking, and that other members

will talk only when he calls upon them. Finally, it was agreed that

if the meeting turns to previously-covered political or legal questions, the U. S. delegation will not respond (Secretary Rusk sent a

message stating the same thing to the U. S. Outer Space Group at the

United Nations on 5 March).

Colonel Falcon John and I caucused once more on the Trakowski

question this morning, and feel that he not only "has the message, "

but is a reasonable risk as our representative in Rome. I must admit

that I continue to question the general advisability of sending a Protestant to Rome during the Lenten Beason.

MEMORANDUM FOR COLONEL MART

SUBJECT: Dryden-Blagonravov Talks tus Report

I was called this afternoon by Lt Col Trakowaki and given a

status report on the Dryden-Blagonravov talks in Rome.

The US Delegation has prepared a position paper which is to

be presented tomorrow for negotiation. Lt Col Trakowski has

shared in the preparation of this piper. All of the negotiations

to date have centered around the exchange of meterological data.

The real aim of the meterological discussions is to provide operational weather forecasting data. If one is to do this, transmission

of the satellite "take" should be completed not later, than 6 hours

after observation time.

The data to be exchanged are:

Photographs of cloud cover over those areas of the earth

which have few conventional observations.

Photographs along active international air routes, and

particularly oceanic routes and air terminals.

Photographs containing patterns of meterological significance, such as fronts, cloud bands, hurricanes, etc.

The paper will also say "As other satellite observation

techniques are developed to the point where they provide useful data

for weather forecasting, the data obtained will be considered for

inclu sion in this program. " The reference here is to the development

of new sensors with some discussion centering around infra-red

devices and albedo measuring devices. Additionally, the paper

states that there will be an exchange of weather interpretation and

analysis techniques in order to assist both sides in making good

3. use of the satellite data.

With regard to timing, the schedule runs something like

this:

Jan 63 Set up land line, establish routing and arrange mechanism for paying tolls on the line.

Jan 64 Test land line.

Feb 64 Transmit system tests (all pictures will be sent by

Facsimile -telephoto.

let half 64 Transmit conventional data, like analysed weather

maps and a few satellite photographs.

2nd half 64 Full data exchange.

The Soviet state that they have no data to exchange at the

present time. They have tested some components in their large

spacecraft, but have made no test flights of operational (small)

meterological systems. They expect to make the first such flight

toward the end of CY 63, and predict that they will not have photographs of operational quality until mid -CY 64.

Lt Col Trakowski advises that the subjects of geomagnetism

and Communications satellites are still to be studied, and will

probably be discussed on Saturday and Monday. With luck, the conference will terminate next Tuesday (19 Mar). He states that he is

being treated very fairly by the NASA team, and that the general

atmosphere surrounding these discussions is cordial.
