provided that (2) MATS will be able to transport them and their
equipment from the MATS New Jersey base all the way to Eniwetok;
and (b) information can be quickly secured as to the electric
power supply available on the assigned ICU; the electronic equip~
ment operates on 115 volts A.C, and has accessory equipment for
converting from 2,0 volts D.C. to 115 volts A.C. with a maxim
power requirement of 5 kw.
If the equipment is shipped via commercial air freight, it must
go via Northwest Airlines who carry freight only when there is a
lack of passenger traffic.
Thus, it may be in order in any case
to request MATS transportation for the equipment and personnel so
as to be assured of arrival at the appointed times,
Dr. Conard has indicated that he and his group would be willing to
arrive at the earliest possible data, May 7, and so be ready to
move to Rongeiap if and when any vessel may become available,
Your assistence in carrying out this mission will be greatly
appreciated,
