With reference to our telephone conversation of 8 September, I am submitting a suggested draft of a message to follow-up on the State Department message #30329 dated 18 August 1966.

Reference our message STATE 30329 dated 18 August 1966, 3rd paragraph, pertaining to the requirement of two jeeps or weapons carriers in support of Ecology Research Program. A statement is required evidencing a firm commitment of two jeeps or weapons carriers for the support of our program during the period of 15 Oct 1966 through 15 Oct 1967. Please furnish the location and numerical designation of the operational unit authorized to furnish the vehicles including the name of the project officer assigned to act as contact for the contractor personnel involved. A firm commitment of this support is essential prior to the signing of the contract now in the final stages of negotiations. Your previous commitment to the effect that vehicles would be available consistent with availability of resources and operational priorities is not sufficient to be used as a basis for signing a contract. Please furnish date action can be be expected.
