These are the kind of things that worry me when I am asked to consider the PH-1100 for [[strikethrough]][[/strikethrough]] Helicopter. They have not gone overboard in offering to make one or more available to Butler. After our visit to Hagerstown on December 12, 1966, it took almost a month to get asked for specifications from the factory and they could not hope for delivery before July 1967, if we ordered 2 PH-1100's by January 13, 1967.

I should very much like the opportunity to meet with you as soon as possible to discuss this study in the light of a promised [[strikethrough]][[/strikethrough]] delivery of our first Jet Ranger and our current critical shortage of piston powered helicopters in [[strikethrough]][[/strikethrough]] to pursue the contracts we now have. The situation is becoming more critical each day.
