Following the meeting, I discussed the commmications problem with
Dr. Graves and pointed out that {n my opinion it would be very desireble to have the EG&G system left intact following the operetion and turned over to Holmes & Narver for their use during the
interim periods, Later, I wes advised separately by Dr. Graves
and Genera: Clarkson that General Clarkson had agreed with us to
proceed with the instellation of the system by EG&G. I was under
the impression, however, that he was reserving decision as to
whether we would be permitted to operate it unless the Signal
Corps system failed or proved inadequate.
