From the Paper:

" The person put in charge by the Army was Dave Freeburg. He was accountable for the success of this procedure in due time. The Army had chosen CI due to the fact that they had previous experience and they also possessed the equipment required to accomplish the task. On behalf of CI, Henry Davis was the person assigned to take care of the order. His main tasks were to see to the fulfillment of the design specification, to create a Bill of Materials (BOM) and to elaborate the response to RFP. In two weeks time, David succeeded to draw up a draft of the proposal. "
