    The document discusses concerns with the ORD approach to the Reiser/Adkins BIRD camera program. It questions whether the feasibility has actually been proven, as new prototype cameras are still being ordered. It also considers the proposed funding to be too rich, listing examples of expensive items like pigeon lofts and operational cameras. The document recommends that either ORD retains responsibility until usefulness is proven, or OTS takes over the funds to prove or disprove the concept more cheaply.

    Dave, ‘

    Here is the Reiser/Adkins BIRD mess. Basically what's wrong


    with the ORD approach is that they assume they have proven the
    feasibility of the BIRD camera approach and that it will have
    fairly wide-spread application.

    If they proved feasibility in last years efforts with the


    pigeons, it escaped me. If they proved,it why are we starting 2;
    all over again this year? If they proved it)why are we ordering
    new prototype cameras?
    <§
    The substitution of staff for contract$p€rsonnel for testing
    .

    J
    and training can only be justified if the program is about to go
    operational. Any such judgement is premature at best.

    The proposed funding is also too rich for my taste. Examples


    are: $ Ill -igeon lofts in Washington and Alaska, $38,000 of QRC
    work g acquisition of radio DF gear,
    H . . . .

    hours f-52§fiz~ ime, procurement of 30 "operational cameras, and


    so forth.

    I don't think we should buy into this scheme. Either ORD


    should retain responsibility for the program until its usefulness"
    has been proven, or OTS should take over the 0RD funds and prove
    or disprove the concept on its own more cheaply.

    fix.
