Continuation of Dresser interview [252au0101]. Ralph Dresser, former commander of Ranch Hand unit at Phu Cat Air Base discusses relations with the press, and the Air Force's desire for high-profile publicity leads to declassification of crop-destruction missions. This in turn leads to public criticism and environmental concerns regarding defoliation program in general. Dresser also talks about target-selection process, maintaining unit morale, the 'Master Magnet Ass' award and 'short-timer's syndrome.'

Mountainous target areas call for exacting flying from Ranch Hand crews. Enemy-udes roads and trails must be opened up to aerial reconnaissance to halt trrop infiltrations, supplies and to reduce ambushes. The herbicide is most effective when sprayed from a 50-100 foot altitude above the foliage and contour flying in formation in mountain areas with a slow somewhat cumbersome aircraft often resembles a roller coaster ride.
