409086 May 25, 1957 MEMORANDUM FOR: LEWIS L. OTRAULS, CHATAMAN Doar Lewis: & eopy of the proposed statement on "clean weapons" nas Just reached me, Although I have had only a few minutes to reviow it, it is already apparent to me that the statement ts misleading in some respects. In particular, it states that we are convinced that "widespread hazard from fallout is not a necessary complement to the employment of large nuclear weapons." I recommend that in preparing such a statement we follow the procedure outlined in ny memorandum to you of In the meantime I recommend that the statement be temporarily withheld. Otherwise it should indicate that this is a stetement of the majority of the Commission. Thomas F. Murray BEST COPYAVAILABLE Dr. Libby ce: Mr. Vanee Mr. Fields My.
