redioschemists going on the Bikini expedition because of their lack of

Alamogordo, Hanford, and samples being: returned from Bikini.
It is recommended that the Commission approve the following with
respect to the Bikini Scientific ke-survey for 1947:

expedition to supervise collection of samples.
