                           MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:

                           SUBJECT                  S  Silencer for the PAL Automatic
                                                      Rifle.
                          REFERENCE: :5 May 1964 Conversation between
                                                      Nestor Sanchez and  the undersigned.

                               1.  On  5 May 1964 Mr. [of TSD was called,
                          and a request  for FAL silencers was made with the following
                          specifications:

                                    1.  Three were needed on a crash basis.
                                    2.  The silencer, if possible, was to be designed
                                        in such a manner that it could be adapted to
                                        any standard FAL automatic rifle  (light barrel)
                                        without modification to the rifle itself.
                                    S.  In addition to the above three silencers TSD
                                        was to check the ease and cost of procuring
                                        25 to 50 such silencers.
                                    4.  The silencer in addition to limiting the
                                        explosive noise from firing would also have
                                        to eliminate the sonic boom connected with
                                        the standard FAL round.  Furthermore, this would
                                        have to be done through the silencer itself
                                        rather than through a new type ammunition for
                                        the FAL that had a muzzle velocity less than
                                        the speed of sound.
                               2.  A preliminary report was received from TSD the
                          afternoon of 5 May 1984 stating the following:

                                    1.  Things looked hopeful, and a detailed preliminary
                                        report would be forwarded to the undersigned
                                        prior to the close of business 8 May 1964.
