UNCLASSIFIED DOCUMENTARY MOTION
PICTURE ON WEAPONS TESTS
Note by the Secretary
At Meeting 1167 on January 25, 1956, the Commission:
a.
Approved the FCDA request that AEC take the
necessary steps to assure that Operation REDWING
film footage, useful to FCDA for a publicly releasable motion picture on the detonation and effects
of a multimegaton nuclear weapon, is obtained, at
no expense to FCDA, as part of record photography
previously approved by the Commission in AEC 7387/7;
b.
Noted that FCDA does not desire to release
a declassified version of the Task Force Commander's
classified motion picture report, as was done for
"Ivy", but rather a separate motion picture;
ce.
Noted that FCDA believes it desirable to base
its motion
picture primarily on shot CHEROKEE, but
that if CHEROKEE footage cannot be declassified,
FCDA could make use of other declassifiable REDWING
footage;
d.
Noted that declassification of REDWING and
other Pacific film footage will begin during the
scries or as soon thereafter as practicable;
