On 2/11/72 Assistant Director IVAN CONRAD called from the Bureau, in response to an earlier call from me, at which time he advised that (1) the Bureau does not have any aerial photographic equipment; (2) they do have an agent with certain expertise in this but they are of the view that the military has the best equipment. He suggested that the military be polled to determine if they would take the aerial pictures and what it would cost us. In addition, in talking to them determine if it's possible for them to take the pictures and give the film to us for developing as a means of reducing the cost.

I told him that we had initially arranged for the Air Force to do it. Then when the Bureau came out with the airtel advising that we must get the cost estimate first and get Bureau approval before utilizing Air Force equipment that we discontinued this effort. However, I now find that the Air Force had scheduled to take this picture on 2/17/72.

I told him I would explore this further and be in touch with him.
