Qn March 2, 1950, the revised schedule of fiscal reports was rewiewed with the AEC Deputy Manager, who commended the projected revisions,
especialiy the discontinuation of the mumerous reports and schedules,
stating that these statements would be satisfactory to the AEC Manager's
Office so long as they were adequate for the management requirements of
the Contracting Officer and of Management of Holmes and Narver, Inc.

In conferences at the H & N Home Office on April 4 and 5, 1950, the

AEC Diractor of Finance and his Chief Auditcr requested reswaption of the
preparation and submission of the following statements and schedules which
had been discontinued as a result of the Los Angeles conferences of Feb-

ruary 7 and 8, 1950, and the Los Alamos conferences of March 1, 1950:

Estimated Cash Requirements.

from the AEC Chief Auditor, indicating desired arrangement.

Following a review of the notes on the Los Angeles meetings of February 7 and 8, 1950, and of the Controller's Report of the Los Alamos

meetings of March 1 and 2, the Chief Fiscal Officer and the Controller
of H & N advised that H & N would continue to furnish required reports
and statements in accordance with the terms of the Contract. It was
emphasized, however, that none of the discontinued reports served any

useful purpose insofar as H & N Management was concerned, and that the
discontinuation had been officially ratified at the Los Alamos meeting
of March 1, 1950. It was further advised that assurance hadbeen given
by the AEC Contracting Officer and by H & N Management that the reports

being furnished in accordance with the agreements of March 1, 1950, were
adequate for management purposes.

Upon a subsequent visit of the AEC Deputy Manager to the H & HN Home
Office, he was presented with the views of the Fiscal Division on the re-

instatement of these requirements. Later, in a letter, dated April 25,
