We are aware of the many demands on the Joint Task Group and Holmes and Narver on Enewetak, and we will make every effort to keep our requirements minimal and be as self-sufficient as possible. We have had considerable experience with the type of facility proposed here, with similar systems already constructed in Bermuda, American Samoa, and Antarctica. Thus, I believe we will not be a burden on the primary mission of the personnel on Enewetak during our stay there. In the enclosed outlines we attempt to explain the objectives of the SEAREX Program; to give outlines of both the tower and the modular building; to spell out our electrical power requirements; and to define the extent of our need of Holmes and Narver. Dr. Robert A. Duce, the SEAREX Executive Committee Chairman, will be in Honolulu on Thursday, 23 March, 1978. During that time he will be visiting with Dr. Victor Johnson of MPML and Mr. Joseph Merrill of the DOE, and he will be able to answer any questions which may still exist after reading these enclosures or to answer any new questions which may arise. Meanwhile, should any area need immediate attention, please call me at area code 401-792-6256. Your assistance and continued interest in the SEAREX Program is greatly appreciated. “) ] \ Roger SEAREX |). | j Cayer, Ur.
