vaedest wealmess seems to be any thought of the Russians testing outside of their

As for

system with stations set up within the country as discussed in the paper, he states
he investigation of 100 events per year (for the U.S.S.R.) might be feasible, but not

tch more, so I would not attempt to investigate possible sub-surface violations

cept for fringe benefits such as Dr. Scoville discusses in his annex to the
morandum.

The use of inspection teams does not guarantee discovery of violations ’

* course, but the increased. risk of detection seems great enough so that I would doubt

This folder begins with a letter to the Los Alamos Area Manager, Paul Wilson,
on 16 Jan 58from Bradberry.

This particular letter has very little of interests.

Generally these documents have very little narative about the status of the Lab
programs but plenty of pages of numbers indicating the funding and man years devoted to the various lab programs.

As the title indicates, these reviews are in

the middle of the fiscal year and generally update those documents for the Lab's
programs at about the beginning of the fiscal year that are covered in "635 Lab.
. program."
