MEMORANDUM C�
To: Mr. Jake Cangelose
From: William H. Clayton
Subject: Usage of Signal Corps GRC -26 Radio Transmitter- Receiver Unit
I have been unable to get formal approval for the Civil Defense Group
that you head to utilize a GRC -26 unit assigned to Contract DA 36 -039 SC -84942
(sponsored by U. S. Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory, Fort Mon -
mouth), and on the basis of unofficial conversation between myself and the con-
tract monitor no such formal approval can ever be extended. However, in view of
the fact that your usage of this unit results in service to the contract, as out-
lined below, I am taking the responsibility upon myself to authorize your usage
of one AN -GRC 26 subject to the following conditions which must be followed and
for which you are charged responsible.
a. The said AN- GRC -26 and associated power supply must not be used in any
manner that violates FCC or Army regulations concerning such usage nor in a
manner detrimental to the best interests of Contract DA 36 -039 SC -84942 and the
Civil Defense unit.
b. You will not be permitted to cannibalize under any circumstances parts
from other GRC -26 units assigned to the Contract.
c. No expenses incurred through use of this unit by your group can be
charged to said Contract.
d. All equipment pertaining to this unit and parts thereof must be main-
tained in workable order and in a secure location sufficient to permit complete
inventory check at such times as may be considered necessary by the Contracting
Officer or his designated representatives.
e. The three military frequencies assigned to this Contract may not be
used by your unit except in the execution of Contract business which it is recog-
nized will occur from time -to -time with communication between College Station and
Dallas and College Station and Hawaii (after September 1963).
f. No persons not specifically authorized by you or myself will be per-
mitted use of the radio - transmitter unit or any facilities thereof, and non - official
usage of the unit cannot be permitted. Specifically, it must not be used for "ham"
purposes except where specifically authorized by you or myself as official require-
ments of the Contract or of your organization.
g. In return for the usage of the GRC -26 as outlined above, it is expressly
understood that you will maintain in good working order two other GRC -26 and two
GRC -19 radio - transmitter units also assigned to the Contract. It is specifically
understood, however, that costs exclusive of labor on the four radios still assigned
to the Contract can be chargeable to the Contract subject to authorization at the
time such costs should become necessary.
