A letter from Hertford to Bradbury on 25

LASL requirements for NTS readiness construction. Hertford plans to deepen
one of the existing 500 foot holes to 800feet, start drilling of two holes to
a depth of /200 feet and the depth will be determined by the constraints of
funding and completion within this fiscal year, order two hoists suitable for
_ 1800 foot depths, and order long lead time items for the surface facilities.
The holes will be cased with the casing for the 1200 foot holes putin, ina
temporary way. Hertford requests LASL to furnish ALO with hole criteria
and hoist inforrnation as carly as possible to get the most out of the construction
funds and the time available. Furthermore, Hertford tells Bradbury that he |
will discuss with Starbird the possibility of LASL using a tunnel. In Hertford's
TWX to Bradbury he lays out the plans for LASL construction which I
just listed above and notes that all will be done within the .7 million
