Gordon Facer e @ -2- AUS & . 1972 Although DOD has reportedly agreed to assume the obligation to decontaminate, the AEC may possibly be exposed to the risk of becoming obligated with DOD for decontamination under any proposed AEC occupancy agreement which does not clearly exempt AEC from such obligations, If DOD has agreed to assume sole responsibility for decontamination, it would appear both unnecessary and undesirable for AEC to enter into any lease agreement which might result in a sharing of DOD responsibility, LEA Joseph L.
