3 April issue of Aviation Week noted the Director of the FAA BRD will resign as of July!
Had several discussions with Mike Bavaro re: the Army’s management problem on ADPS.
Worked on the Reaction Time Analysis for the quarterly report. The next step is to try to select a few representative targets.
Had some discussion with Al Armenti; he is unaware of the payoff from developmental simulation, and is apparently completely hardware oriented.
Rec’d announcement of the summer course on methodology of Industrial Dynamics from Prof. Forrester’s office; it will be held from 13-23 July with a fee of $325! Set up an appointment with Forrester for 17 April at 3 PM.
Call from Dr. Miser: 1) He spoke of Jim Digby of Rand being on the FAA Hough Committee (noted in Aviation Week of 3 April); 2) An OEG chap, Clem King (?) has a paper on radar performance and HJM wanted me to review it from the experimental point of view.
Overcast, windy
Rode in AM with Jack Dargan, and with Jim Mayo of Publications in the PM.
Took the broken screen door apart and cut the top & bottom pieces to fit the back door; found that the new aluminum die-castings for the corners will not fit, so couldn’t finish the operation.
