AI-Generated Summary
A memorandum from the General Counsel to the Director of Research and Development regarding a proposed research project from an acquaintance. The author expresses skepticism about the proposal and seeks an official determination of interest from the Agency.
This memorandum, dated 3 June 1977, was authored by Anthony A. Lapham, the General Counsel, and addressed to the Director of Research and Development, DDS&T. The document concerns a proposed research project described in an attached letter. Lapham explains that the author of the attached letter was an acquaintance from his time in private practice. This acquaintance had contacted Lapham by phone several months prior to inquire whether the Agency would have any interest in the research effort described in the letter. Lapham notes that he expressed doubt regarding the proposal but agreed to circulate the inquiry if it were submitted in writing. The memorandum serves as the formal circulation of that written proposal to the Director of Research and Development to determine if there is any potential interest. Lapham concludes by stating that if the Agency has no interest, which he strongly suspects is the case, he will inform the acquaintance accordingly.
Do you have any potential interest? If, as I strongly suspect, you do not, I will let [illegible] down gently.
