Also, that it would probahly be necessary to have the services of two men during the period of employment of the equipment in order to operate and maintain ite Without stipulating which individmals, or how this would be done, I agreed that we would be in a position to meet the equipment requirement and would also undertake to have the necessary persomel available. I told him that with respect to the equipment this would be a loan from the Division of Biology and Medicine and would not require a transfer of funds or purchase as far as the Test Organization is concerned. The cost of personnel would naturally be carried in the usual way of test personnel for that operation. Colonel House also spoke of their plan to inform all military operations chiefs of the three services concerning the CASTLE plans from the standpoint of radiological safety. I expressed to him that the fundamental philosophy as far as we are concerned is the same as for IVY, and that certainly ali Surgeons General and Chiefs of Operations should be aware of the criteria which will be employed.
