Parks Service and made arrangements for a permit for the AEC to use the Silver
Sword Inn on two conditions;
AEC be out by 1 Sept.;
fhat this agreement not be renewable and that the
and that the facilities be used only for housing and
feeding and not for instrumentation or technical or laboratory work.
Note that other facilities on the top of Mount Haleakala were arranged for
AEC use in the latter of March 62.
Note that the authorization to use the
Silver Sword Inn was extended into Dec. of 62 in Aug. due to the change in
Dominic.
A 21 Dec. 62 letter from the FAA to Shaw of AEC Pacific Operations discusses
the desire to continue using the "Hi-Site" on top of Haleakala even ‘though
Dominic has ended and states "It is further understood that the US Air Force
of Ly
is to be permitted the use existing facilities for
activities."
This
jatterpoint is raised since the FAA is concerned about EM-interference
from
Oy Gartce
equipment and asks for comments.
In early Jan. the information was provided
that said there would be no such interference.
Negotiations began in early Feb. 62 to procure the use of Palmira as a
weather rad~safe island for Dominic.
The rest of the folders in this box contain numerous details working out
agreements for and conditions at the various Pacific Islands and the purpose of
these islands for the Dominic operation.
