On 18 June, Bradbury sent a message to DMA suggesting that tunnels be developed
errs

for possible LASL fullscale shots during Millrace.

This was followed up immediately 2 H

by direction to LASL to discuss their possible requirements with H&N and see what
could be done to prepare sites.

Correspondence between the various information offices of the AEC at this time
indicates a forthcoming public announcement on Millrace and the statement that it will
be entirely underground.

The statement would also say that there would be no release

of radiation to the atmosphere and no off-site fallout.

Albuquerque is pressuring to

make the public announcement of Millrace now rather than waiting until Later due to the
possible later conflict with the results of international conferences or other activities
which might stir public reaction.

Late in June, Bob Watt worked on the possible tunneling for LASL shots for Millrace
and provided the information to Graves and Bradbury who were both at Eniwetok.

Graves

told Watts by message on 27 June to proceed with the construction of 2 double track

tunnels on the shortest feasible time scale.
