Dr. John N. wolfe 7 April 19, 1963 involved in radiobiological analyses that were continuing in 1963. wi @se: Upon the resumption of nuclear testing by the United States, the Japanese again indicated anxiety concerning the possible contamination of ocean resources. At the request of the Commission, in a program coordinated by the U. £&. Department of State, senior mambers of the Laboratory staff went to Honolulu in August to offer assistance to members of a re- gevearch party aboard a Japanese survey vessel, the Shoyvo Magy. Laboratory personnel made oxtansive preparationa and prepared a report for tha Com- mission on their return. 1963 RufusProgram: Members of the Laboratory staff, at the request of the Commission, participated in site evaluations for the Rufus program and in the drafting of site evaluation reports. The programe listed above are those which represented, at the times they were inetituted, demandsa of a special nature made by official agencies (usually the Commission) because of the Laboratory's experience and readiness to perform these missions, It is true that, curing the periods of nuclear testing in the Pacific, the Laboratory's association with the teating programs became expected and accepted. Nevertheless, there never was a test series in which the demands on the Laboratory could be predicted, and even the efforts to maintain continuing studies at the test sites frequently were altered or diverted by a new program requirement. In addition to the special demands, however, the Laboratory also, throughout the years, has been a participant in numberless professional and University~-asaociated activities to which it found it necessary to respond because of its place in the University structure. Thus, beyond the “crash" requirements of official interest, members of the Laboratory staff have participated in local, state, or national activities of significance, and have felt to a unique degree the continuing preseure of public interest and the need to respond in ways that reached beyond the scientific obligations and entered the fields of public information, public relations, and public service.
