Roger Ray I guess it is clear what my agency is and our Nevada office will have the responsibility of acting for the Y Atomic Energy Commission in studying and making the best determination we can as to the radiation situation; recommending what action that must be taken for safety reasons before islands can be put to the uses that you recommend; and then participating #4% actually conducting the clean up action. Our partner in that will undoubtedly be the Department of Defense. I think Col. Stevens represents that part of the Department of Defense which most likely to have this coordinating function for the. defense action. I will let him speak. Col. Stevens I am from headquarters Defense Nuclear Agency. I was --.sent here to observe the AEC survey that they made last week and to observe the trip that you have made this week to get a feeling of the order of magnitude of the job that may face the Department of Defense in the event that the Department of Defense is given the job of doing the clean up. That's about all that I can say at this time. John Stewart is from AEC office of Las Vegas. He has been here last week coordinating the survey. Do you have a word. to say or question to ask? John Stewart No. Chips Barry I have one question anyway. Throughout our trip here, we have heard that you will be doing a more extensive survey. Can you tell us more about that? When it Starts and when it ends. Roger Ray I'm not sure I can tell you when it will start but it will start the minute we are given the job and funds are made available. I might say that the survey that was just completed, we did without really having it funded and without having really any support for it and we took it from other programs we had ongoing © because we recognize the urgency of doing an initial survey right now. We are fresh out of money at the moment and the minute we have the responsibility assigned, and I think it is going to happen very — soon, I am confident that the responsibility will be accompanied by funds. My guess is that in about August or September, we will back out with the next phase of, that survey. this calcndar year... Chips Barry We would hope to complete it How many people is your survey going to involve and will there be written reports from the preliminary survey and from the final survey and if so will you send us copies of it? 9002951 -22-
