A 3 June 59letter from Starbird to Loper (MLC) notes that until now, the AEC LE
26 not known whow# in the DOD would be responsible for executing or at least discussing
1e various Panofsky panel recommendations and notes that he now understands that
“OAT~-1 has been assigned the prime responsibility.
Starbird states that Bradbury and
ralnar have their organizations ready to conduct joint studies of the details of
ossible detection systems, design of an overall program to obtain data, etc. and
tarbird requests Loper reply as soon as possible so that the various responsibilities
an be appropriately assigned and work can get underway on the “overall study program
or high altitude testing and detection."
A hand-written note by Froman states that
Bethe is talking to Starbird tomorrow on this to try to get us a clear statement of
ASL (AEC responsibilitées, etc.)
