a eeBeslp
my
July 3, 1957 which had contained a proposal to invise foreign
observers to a future test series so that the U, S, might
demonstrate the reduction in fallout resulting from the use of
cleaner weapons,
Mr, Strauss observed that the statement
referred only to future U. S, tests for which adequate facilities
for foreign observers would be available and said facllities at
Operation HARDTACK would be too limited te accommodate foreign
observers and their equipment.
Mr, Salisbury also commented on
tne question of admitting foreign press ropresentatives to the
test series,
Mr. Strauss suggested that the Commission considar
this duestior in the Fall.

&. approved conducting a fallout program during
Operation HARDTACK similar to that outiined in paragraph
7 of ARC 952/11;
b. Aoproved, as a supolement to the program outlined
in paragraph 7 of AEC 952/11, a substantial expansion
