not leave any creases. This material looks like it would almost
be like aluminum foil, would crease and remain creased.
A: It does have this paper laminate, and the paper, I
think, was maybe a bit tougher on the earlier thing. But I have
no explanation for the fact that it couldn't be bent with a
sledge hammer, as one of the people said, and couldn't be .••
Q: Burned?
A: I think some of the balsa wood was dipped in something
like Elmer's glue, and as a result had some sort of a glue
coating on it which would make it somewhat resistant to burning.

Q: I know in Colonel Weaver's discussions with Sheridan
Cavitt, they talked about the aspect of burning. He did not
recall burning anything, but then his wife indicated that there
had been one night they'd been out and had a barbecue and had a
few beers and that Jesse Marcel just took a piece and stuck it in
the barbecue and then pulled it back out. So if that's what
they're using to say it wouldn't burn, that's what we consider
typically testing a material for burning or not.
A: I need to say here, you need to qualify everything I
say with the memory of almost 50 years ago. I will say things
that are to the best of my memory, but on the other hand, should
other evidence indicate my memory is faulty, I readily accept
that. So I'll state things to the best of my memory, but ••.
I have a memory that there was something like Elmer's
glue ... There was a problem in attaching this to the paper
behind.
Q: Going back to the reinforcing tape and things, there
were discussions concerning unusual symbols and almost .like
hieroglyphics -- purple, pinkish in nature, that sort of thing.
A: I don't know if I sent Colonel Weaver a copy of the
sketch.
Q: No, we did not see that.
A: Robert Todd, who has been a person very interested in
trying to get to the truth of this, asked me to make a sketch of
what I remember. A couple of years ago, or a year or so ago, I
made this sketch, and this is my memory of what was there.
I do remember every time I prepared one of these targets for
flight, I always wondered why these figures were on the tape.
There was always a question of why they were there. When this
purplish-pink marking on the debris came up, I immediately
remembered this sort of marking. Other people, I have a letter
here from one of my technicians, who says oddly he remembers the
same marking. You, perhaps, have talked to Albert Trakowski ••.
