_ Colonel Coiner concurred and said he understood that in the transfer of
JTF-3 responsibilities to JTF-132 the failure to consult with the Commission
had been inadvertent. There was discussion of the organization of the new
task force; of the magnitude of ‘‘roll-up’’ operations to close out Operation
GREENHCUSE; and of the complexity of multi-agency responsibilities for
the conduct of Eniwetok operations,
After further discussion, the Commission:
NOTED that an information paper would be prepared detailing joint
and separate responsibilities of agencies associated with the maintenance
of the Eniwetok Proving Grounds and the conduct of test operations,
including the ownership of land and facilities and the budgeting for program
activities.
At this point Messrs. Uthus and Courtney entered the meeting.
