A memo from Jim Sugden to Reeves on 6 Nov. notes that
he and Ryan of H&N
visited J.I. on 2 Nov. to “investigate the feasibility of supporting groundstationed diagnostic instrumentation for Phase II" of Ever Ready.
The island
now has a population of 125, building up to support a SAMOS project to begin
about 1 Jan. and requiring 175people to support.
Also, they were informed that
the base had recently supported 400-500 personnel engaged in some DOD programs.
Sugden was specifically investigating the sampler aircraft problem and feels
that with the addition of distillation units for fresh water for detontamination,
parking of the aircraft and accomodation of the samplers at Johnston Island
instead of Barber's Point could be carried out.
There is the problem of how to
return samples by 135's since they cannot use J.I.
