Livermore's reply from Gerry Johnson, to DMA on 26 Jan. began by stating that Z 2
reese yey

the Willow and the outerspace test had to be treated separately since the objectives

of Willow are high altitude effects and weapons test evaluation, whereas the objectives
of the outerspace test are to develop a capability within the AEC's labs for such

testing.

He cites Hertford's letter to Starbird on 17 Nov. 59 as representing

Livermore's feelings about the AEC's participation in the Willow test.

As for the

outerspace test, Livermore disagrees with the division of responsibility set forth
sy Starbird since the development of any testing capability is a responsibility of the

\EC and the military participation would appear in its appropriate place as one of
che support elements.
