Edward H. deSaussure, Jr. S DP a Kb S Commander Joint Task Force EIGHT Sandia Base Albuquerque, New Mexico 87115 Dear General deSaussure: During a recent trip to Bikini Atoll, personnel of this office were requested by Col. Rawlings to furnish guidelines which would aid in determining those requirements necessary for radiological certification. It was pointed out to Col. Rawlings that definition of such guidelines was a responsibility of AEC HQ, and that these guidelines had been requested but at that time had not been received. In a recent discussion with HQ, Division of Operational Safety personnel, we were informed that the guidelines are being formulated. In the interim, those guidelines informally presented to Col. Rawlings (see enclosure) will be in effect. Very truly yours, TMOS : FDC-231 Manager Enclosure: Guidelines for Bikini Cleanup ec: A. Smith,PHS , Honolulu, HI, w/encl. Col. J.
