Reference is made to telephone call from SA ELGIN E. OLROGG 12/30/71, in which he said that permission had been denied by Air Force to use Air Force volunteers in a life parachute drop but that they had authorized assist- ance in connection with the dummy drop.

Reference also made to Springfield teletype 12/30/71 in which they pointed out that the Military Air Life Command at Scott Field had given a favorable reply to the request from McChord Air Force Base, but believed that the first test should be conducted with a 200-lb. dummy.

I called OLROGG and told him that it did not appear from the wording of Springfield teletype that McChord was precluded from furnishing live volunteers. He said apparently there was a question of interpretation but that the man he talked to in McChord was pretty firm that they were not going to furnish any live [illegible]. He said, however, that he would continue contact with McChord to get the final word.

I sent a teletype to Minneapolis and told them to advise [REDACTED] immediately that it would appear the only clearance we had so far from the Air Force was to supply personnel to assist in a dummy drop and not a live parachute jump.
