A 10 November letter from Reeves to Hertford discusses the overseas planning as
proposed by the NIS Planning Board, including the priorities given to the various
locations (with Eniwetok first).
They set out a number of details of what should be |
arranged for in planning and in setting up an operation if Christmas Island is to be
;
used as well as what is needed if none of the island bases can be used but an open
sea operation will be required.
They re-emphasize the advankeges associated with
operating from Eniwetok if that can be arranged.
