Supporting the Eniwetok program. Recognizing that most of the available laboratory capacity which was then available to us was already heavily committed, Dr. Nervik suggested that McClellan had the technical capability and he understood, informally, would welcome the opportunity to participate. Recognizing that such participation would probably require a directive or mission assignment from Washington, Mr. Ray decided that it might be useful to discuss the feasibility of such an assignment with someone from Dr. Carl Walske's office before formally requesting that the Department of Defense provide such support. Since he knew General Brickel and knew also that General Brickel would be at the interagency meeting, he called General Brickel and asked if they might have a brief conversation subsequent to the September 7 meeting on a subject which he felt would not be appropriate to discuss on the telephone. As it turned out, General Brickel had a commitment back at the Pentagon immediately after the interagency meeting and invited Mr. Ray and Dr. Nervik to drop by his office for coffee and conversation. The substance of the conversation was to ask General Brickel if he felt that Dr. Walske would support a request for McClellan laboratory assistance, if and when such a request were made. Subsequently, a formal request originated by Manager, NV, was passed through DMA to DNA, with the hoped-for result. Pullout of Eniwetok at Time of Typhoon Olga The total evacuation of Eniwetok on October 23 was directed by CG, SAMIEC, in light of a prediction that the typhoon would do severe damage to the Atoll. The return to Eniwetok 36 hours later was intended as a reconnais~ sence in force to determine whether the survey program could be resumed. Tne departure of all AEC and DNA personnel from Eniwetok at about 1590 tocal on Cctober 25 was dictated by a statement from the Site Manager that he could not suprort any project personnel at that time. The time of departure from Enivetok for Xwajalein was dictated by operational requirements at Kwajalein for the evacuation aircraft. Having consulted
