Ltr to Hon, John W, \esertea—2)| : House of Representatives (Cont *d) September 1, 1954 employed an average of 100,000 people, this one incident, unfortunate though it may be, can, we think, be judged in its proper perspective. Equally, although the Commission believed due care had been taken to protect all personnel involved in the tests, the civilian populations and the shipping in that aree, even greater precautions will be taken in the future. (4) Tae Congress, through the Joint Committee on Atomic Knergy, is kept fully informed concerning the Commission‘sa weapons test program and the Coumittee will continue to follow future test prograze with keen interest. I sincerely hope the above information will be of assistance to you in answering the inquiries you have received. Sincerely yours, Wayne P.
