§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether in their opinion there could be any role in pollution and weather monitoring as suggested by Dr. Edward Teller, for up to 1,000 small observation satellites known as "Brilliant Eyes", whether such satellites could also have an anti-missile function; and how much such a programme might cost.
§ The Earl of ArranThe concept of the "Brilliant Eyes" sensor satellites is still at an early stage of formulation and insufficient information exists at present to predict their likely military or civil capabilities. This is a question for the US authorities to settle in due course.
