Morse D a t e : 29 January 1953 Subject: Contract N5orf 06OOI, Task Order Xj proposal for extension beyond current exoirat ion date for the period 1 July 195U through 30 June 1955. We propose to continue work on the subject contract as res ta ted in Amendment 13 for an addit ional year, covering the period 1 July 195L through 30 June 1955. The work wil l consis t of a coordinated research program in apclied matherr<t.tic8 u t i l i s i n g f a c i l i t i e s in the Center for Machine Computation, including the Whirlwind Computer i n the Dig i ta l Computer Laboratory. The work wi l l include but not necessarily be l imited to the following: (1) research in methods of numerical analysis and the formulation of s c i e n t i f i c problems for machine solut ion, together with the t ra in ing of personnel i n thtbe methodsj (2) suoDort of the sc i en t i f i c and engineering applications group of Project V.hiilvdnd so as to make the computer useful and avai lable for the above research, and p a r t i a l support of the maintenance of the Whirlwind Computer and research into d i g i t a l computing machine components. The Air Force i s making a large contr ibut ion to the support and extension of f a c i l i t i e s of the Whirlwind Computer. I t s use wi l l be shared by the Air Force and ONK. I t i s understood t ha t de ta i l s of the program here proposed wi l l be worked out from time to tin.e with the technical o f f i ce r . There follows a breakdown for the possible expenditure of 8265,000 for one year on the above two items. Unless otherwise s ta ted , sa la r i e s are for f u l l time work.
