                         to provide elements of study of phenomena related to geomagnetism. 
                         Thus, we intent to complement ionospheric measurements made at 
                         this laboratory with geomagnetic field measurements made on the 
                         ground and with satellites. We also believe that, even if it were 
                         not for the ionospheric measurements, it would still be 
                         justifiable to establish a magnetometric station on this site 
                         (S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos) in view of its geographic position 
                         being at the center of the called Geomagnetic Brazilian Anomaly as 
                         shown in Fig. 1. It should be called attention also to the fact 
                         that the number of stations where magnetic field measurements are 
                         made in the northern hemisphere is a region of almost 10:1 in 
                         relation to the number of stations in the southern hemisphere. 
                         Last year's International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy, held 
                         in Peru (with sponsorship of AFCRL and others) recommended among 
                         other things that additional magnetic stations should be 
                         stablished at selected sites. We intend to start the measurements 
                         as soon as possible, in order to get the full span of the IQSY, 
                         which extends from January 1964 through December 1965. We also 
                         desire to continue the measurements after 1965, while the sun 
                         becomes more and more active. Since we have interest in 
                         micropulsations studies we would prefer a rubidium vapor 
                         magnetometer. However, if not possible, we could use a proton free 
                         precession magnetometer regularly in S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos 
                         and apply for a loan of the rubidium vapor for a period of six 
                         months at the time of our rocket soundings at the magnetic equator 
                         (Natal) during the IQSY.",
