In accordance with the terms of your contract,
I am enclosing an “indexed” copy of the

available from your files.
Each document listed on the bibliography is indexed with five different diacritical

Each symbol designates:

available at the current government Program Office. The letter “D” in front of
the asterisk denotes documents that mav have been destroyed when you
and Mr. Girard reviewed your files.
+
- reports which are available at the Program Office.
&
- reports not at the Program Office but which appear to be interim or progress
reports for which a final or subsequent report is available.

- reports included in the “sanitized" volume prepared jointly last year by the
Program Office and SAIC and for which a copy of the original, unsanitized

Price saw weld- ing operations taking place south of Building 1 and also saw an electrical sub- station east of the building (see Fig. 5). In reality there is no substation near the gantry crane or Building 1 at URDF-3. The session ended at noon. The session resumed at 3:01 p.m. with what appears to be a telephone con- versation between Price and one of the experimenters. Although it's possible to hear only the experimeter's side of the conversation, the discussion appeared to be related to the dimensions of the gantry crane. Price had said earlier that day that: | 1) the distance between the rails was about 50 ft., 2) the height of Building 1 was about 50 ft., 3) the height of the gantry crane was about 150 ft., and 4) the crane ran on the rails that entered into Building 1. The above dimensions lead to a discrepancy in dimensions because the gantry crane is too tall (150 ft.) to enter the 50 ft.-tall Building 1. This discre- pancy is resolved by Price telling the experimeters that the tail gantry crane does not enter Building 1 but that there are two shorter. gantry cranes inside Building 1 that also run on the 50 ft.-wide ralls - one running east-west on rails and one running north-south to meet the tall gantry crane outside the building on the same rail. This complicated relationship of three gantry cranes does not exist at URDF-3. Price is then contacted by phone again and asked to scan the area across the road west of Building 1 (see Fig. 5). He is told that in that region there's something else which is on the order of being as large or as unique as the crane. (The experimeter is obviously trying to see if Price can see the four headframes that exist at URDF-3). Note: there is an azimuthal shift of: 90° in comparing the north-south motion of Price's tall rail-mounted gantry crane as opposed to the actual east-west motion of the rail-mounted gantry crane’ at URDF-3. For the time being, if one accepts this.rotation of 90°, the Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00791R000200240001-0 0 CONPEDENT EAE: - To a ” ener: AISNE ERM SOA AE EI RRP PTO RRRTHE'D OM ES te LE ORR RRR TIE SION RE EE «ip oe AS,

Andy,
this is just a thought where I think we can contribute given that
the timing works out.
The directive as I understand it would be easily
satisfied with such an approach.
At the moment,
I cannot think of a
