~27Box 30 Here is a folder entitled "Las Vegas Activity Reports" and covering the period from June of 61 until these activities came under NVOO. In the monthly activity report to ALO from Fred Hohner covering activities thru July 31, reports of visits of press and TV representatives from NBC, CBS, Los Angeles Times, and New York Times, are documented from 26 June thru 7 July. Generally these men (a total of about a dozen) had tours and orientation of Frenchman Flat, Yucca Lake areas, and area 12. That explains some of the newspaper articles just after this time. Note that there is absolutely no indication of any pertinent construction activities in all of these monthly activity reports and that the first indication of test resumption or increased activity for that purpose is in the -report covering thru 30 Sept., where there is an indication that a number of AEC Headquarters personnel toured the Test Site on 28 Sept., including Luedecke and Betts. This was mainly because the NTS Planning Board meeting was held here. Holifield, then Chairman of the JCAE, and Ramey, still executive Director of that Committee visited the NTS on 30 Sept. thru 2 Oct. for orientation and tours. Seaborg visited the NTS on 23 Oct. Even after Nougat began, this particular report did not indicate any of the activities and construction having to do with the test program, and maybe that had to do LVAO's responsibilities.
