George Cowan, Jere Knight and I have studied the memo-
randum entitled "Detection.and@ Identification of IVY (MIKE)”
and we have discussed the subject with Professor Hans Bethe..
We agree with most of the points covered in the memorandum.

Some people here have questioned the detection of tritium.
1
T suspect that the chances of success of such detection will be
-glarified by experimental work.
The variation in tritium con-
tent of the atmosphere (as,.elementary hydrogen and as water
‘vapor) will be a favor.
