PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
"Excluded are those two tests' special gear in launches which
were not successful."
A: Right.
Q: so the special gear that's referred to here is the
microphone gear?
A: Yes, sir.
Q: There's another passage that talks about the
intelligence gear. Was that considered also •••
A: Did we make such a faux pas as that?
Q: It's in there.

Q: I have the classification letter from July of '46. You
might want to review this. Maybe your friend has shown that to
you.
A: No, I've never seen this.
Trakowski argued that even the name Mogul was classified,
and he said it had the same classification as the Manhattan
Project had, which surprises me, because in various reports that
Todd has sent me, such as the monthly progress reports from the
people at later Holloman Air Force Base, Mogul appears in things
that are no higher classification than confidential, but
Trakowski insists that Mogul was super classified.

Q: This is a copy of the letter you wrote to Colonel
Weaver. One of the things that you talk about in this letter was
that the radar test flights were not reported, which is exactly
what we were discussing a moment ago in your kitchen. Would you
go over again what you just described as far as this particular
test flight that occurred? What we just went through in there.
A: As I said initially, the essence in trying to develop
constant level balloons, we needed to know what the altitude was.
At the same time, we were under a lot of pressure to carry the
test microphones for the Watson Laboratory and Columbia people.
We got into an operation at Alamagordo in early June of 1947, in
which we were required to make flights in which the tracking of
the flights would be provided by the Watson Laboratory Radar that
was already in place at Alamagordo for tracking the V-2s and
other rockets the Ordnance Corps people were flying over at White
Sands. So we came down to fly balloons in early June, in which
the tracking of the flights was to be done by radar, tracking
corner reflector targets, which I think we brought with us. I
don't have any evidence of this.
