1. This memo is in confirmation of telephone conversations requesting your participation in a continuing working group to discuss the Mid- course Phase of the lunar landing mission. This mission phase includes the TLI, MCC, LOI and TEI maneuvers, The overall composition of this Midcourse Phase Mission Techniques Working Group is as follows:

2. The first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 12, 1967, in Building 30, Room 3044, at 9:00 a.m. Its specific purpose is to estab lish targeting and monitoring procedures for the LOI maneuver to be included in the overall Apollo Mission Techniques document. It is desirable, I think, to keep this working group as small as possible, however, if you feel it desirable to bring additional people from your organization, be my guest.
