A 29 Dec. TWX from the Commander-in-Chief of PACAF to Gen. Starbird
addresses the transfer of responsibility for J. I. support from PACAF to
the JTF. Among other things, the PACAF Commander requests that the
arrangements for transfer and assumption of complete operational control
by the JTF Task Group be earlier than Gen. Starbird had proposed in the
neighborhood of 10 Jan. but not later than 15 Jan.
Further, the PACAF
Commander notes that there are a number of programs with priorities from
various military organizations which are presently being supported by
PACAF and that JTF would be assuming responsibility for support of these
programs as negotiated with the various users.

ystems Div. of AFSC proposes a new agreement between AFSC and JTF-8
for the period. of operation of Dominic. Need for the proposal seems to
be some planned operations of SSD in the area south of Hawaii and around
Johnston Island which might conflict with and cause hazard to personnel
during the atmospheric test operations. Therefore, the proposal in brief
outlines the danger areas and the dates bracketing the possible tests
series and would have SSD agree to have personnel and activities out of
the area during these times.

of the laboratories for diagnostics and sampling.
