For record purposes, I called SAC WHALEY at Albuquerque on 11/29/71, and told him I understood that there was a research project at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico dealing with the effect on a body of high altitude parachuting and the effect of low temperatures on a body in case a jump was made. I asked him to see if he could contact the person responsible for the survey to give us some notions about what effect this would have on the man making this jump.
I told him that the weather was clear to 1500 feet, broken clouds to 5,000, solid above, and that the jump was possibly made around 7,000 to 10,000 ft. at a time when the "total average temperature" was minus 7 degrees.
