In a December 13, 1957 letter to Chief AFSWP, the Director of Military
Application concurred in an AFSHP propesal for direct contact betwoen
with appropriate [GD personnel to discuss funding when mutual plang
for subject’ operation have been established.
Aa indicated in General Starbird's letter of May 6, 1957 members of
the UORL staff have done some preliminary thinking ori the Xeray
experiment. Assuming thet a DOD requirement. for an Xeray shot within
the next eighteen to twenty months may develop, we have asked the UCRL
to what extent that Laboratory presently could support auch an expextnent, considering current comitments.
