If your office approves of these propcsals it is recommended that they be forwarded to the D.3.M. for tnreir consideration. If there is an interest expressed by D.B.I’. in these projects, I will then submit to your office a formal proposal including the necessary budget and persennsl requirements according to the established routine for processing field testing projects. Concerning personnel required for these or other projects I feel we could use Federal Civil Defense selected qualified persennel in addition to other A.E.C. contractcr personnel. I am sure that adequate training could be given which would satisfy the requirements which the agency may have established for thair "key" field representatives and at the same time our commitments could be acccmplished. This item can be developed in detail if it is in accord with existing agency policies. From our point of view, it would mean we would not be wasting the efforts put into indoctrination and training which has been necessary for the type of program we have had in the pest. Last spring thirty-two military service enlisted personnel were required to fill the program's quota. I feel — that the three weeks spent in training these perconnel was wasted effort in over ninsty per cent of the cases, as far as sny continued benefits to the country is ceneerned since these men are not now available to any group having continuity.
