Dear Harry: 

Following receipt of your letter of 23 

March, I requested that the NAVMOL office 

prepare the funding estimates you need for 

your fiscal submission to OSD in May. The 

attached enclosure represents our best 

estimate of the funding required to complete 

the Navy's MOL project. These funding 

estimates do not include the vehicle, 

booster and integration, or launch costs 

which you requested. Discussions between 

NAVIAOL and SSD/Aerospace are under way now 

which will define these costs, and this 

funding information will be provided to you 

prior to 1 May. 

When our MOL project briefings commence 

in June, I would be very pleased to have you 

and any of your staff attend these dry runs. 

I think this would definitely be to our 

mutual benefit and I will advise you of the 

time and place of the briefings when this 

information becomes firm. 

In connection with your submission to 

OSD, if I can be of any help to you with 

regard to the Navy's effort please call on 

me at any time.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for your personal interest in the Navy 

MOL project. I'm sure that a military 

capability to perform ocean surface ship 

surveillance by a satellite would indeed be 

a significant step forward in support of 

Naval operations. 

Sincerely,
