A 16 Novembermemo from a Captain Craig of Test Office to Gen. Betts in DMA covers anattached memo for the commissioners which recommends the conduct of overseas tests in the open sea. The purpose of the memo which is not contained here seems to be to allow the labs and other organizations to do some efficient and firm planning in one diréction only and it is Felt that the way to force the commissioners to allow this is to recommend that a decision be made to focus only on the open sea area for testing due to the fact that no island base has yet been found. To quote from the conclusion of the cover letter "preparation time is very limited. A decision must be made very soon. Unless the commissioners are sure they can obtain Christmas thev should agree to an open sea operation now." tsunami in Hawai y ; awai2 in - Be : r the case of an accident al surface boree se as ced that adde e d andu off-Hilo operatioSsns . connecti: on with A 16 Novemb pec SeeMoermemo for Col, »Branch addresses ° Anderson of DMA from a Col.
