Distributed the Committee Report under today’s date and 22L-0078; it has a few typographic errors.

Had lunch with Hugh Miser & JLV at the MIT Faculty Club, where we discussed the FAA problem at length. He suggested the use of 1) an Advisory Committee to FAA BRD on the research program; 2) a non-profit corporation to do the research. I think I’ll write a letter to the NY Times re: these matters and Quesada’s article in the NYT Magazine of 12 Feb 61.

Hugh is setting up a Rand-type corporation for the Navy. He wanted to know if I would talk to some of his people relative to radar performance. I responded of course, but was quite rusty in this field. He said he could probably have to do something in this area.

Took JLV to Watertown so he could leave his car. We then had lunch with HJM, where we talked about the FAA principally.

Went to the piano Tuners Supply Company in Somerville, but they didn’t have the parts I need — an offset bass section damper bar, so I used a straight one, bending the spoon and wire.
