AFBSA
Implementation of SAB Ad Hoc Committee's
21 April 1966
Recommendations
Lt Col Hippler, AFRSTA
1. Some of the members present at the meeting on 19 April have had
some after-thoughts which I believe you should consider.
2. First, there is a feeling that perhaps sufficient thought is not
being given to how the Air Force is going to implement the plan.
Typical questions are:
a. Specifically, what is the Air Force going to do?
b. Specifically, how is it going to do it?
3. Since answers to these questions are not obvious, there is a
strong feeling here that the Air Force should get two or three
consultants from the academic community, Hq AFSC, and FTD together
and have them do some constructive thinking on how to solve the
mechanics of the problem and avoid the pitfalls and vagaries that
are bound to crop up.
4. Another area of concern is the lag between May and September
when funds will become available. A lot of Air Force enthusiasm
for the program can fall through the cracks during that period.
Perhaps this leg period can be put to good use by using it to
think the problem out as discussed in the paragraph above.
5. These are just some random thoughts I an passing on for your
consideration.
