MEMORANDUM FOR: Brigadier General A. J. Goodpaster
The White House
SUBJECT
: Project CORONA
1. Herewith, slightly edited but otherwise unchanged since you
read it, is the paper on CORONA which summarizes its history and
proposes the extension of the Project. This paper has been seen by
Dr. Herbert York, and he confirms that the Department of Defense
concurs in this proposal.
2. The proposal has been reviewed with Dr. Glennan and Dr,
Killian, and I believe that the latter is favorable to it. Dr. Killian has
not seen this actual paper since he is away for a few days.
