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 people. 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.
