R. £. Hollingeworth -~2- It is anticipated thet the Defense Nuclear Agency will undertake an engineering survey concurrent with the radiological survey of the AEC and will provide a coneiderable degree of support in billeting and intra-atoll transportation. Datatle are being worked out. In the performance of my coordination responsibilities, I find it necessary to peiat out the funding requirements described above. DOS and DEER advies that they cannct fund these efforts within their FY 1973 budgets. To attempt to fund them from the austere weapons pregram budget would require elinfination of essential progren requiresente. If the AEC is to accomplinh its share of this important project on a timely basis, the required funds must ba identified end made available by September 1, 1972. I propose thet the Controller be requested to identify euch funds by that sf Frank A. Comm Major Genexal, UGA for Military Application ce: Mahlen BE.
