suBjEcT: TELEPHONE CALL FROM COLONEL HOUSE, SPEAKING FOR JTF=3

Colonel House said that he and Major Servis had been discussing
the requirements for CASTLE and they are of the opinion that they
will need the use of some of our telemetering equipment which

Dick Johnston has developed.

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.
