Admiral Pugh ~~ May 1h, 1953 It seems clear to us that the efficient and scientifically effective operations that have oesn conducted result from the accumulated experience as well as the extended scientific training of this small group of Navy personnel which now has more consistent knowledge of the coniuct of such field experiments than any other unit. It would seem to me that great benefit to aur prorram would result if the feasibility of reeasgembling this scientific team from time to time were to be maintained. It is to be anticipated that there wili be further series of oontinental tests and that additional biomedical experimentation will be required, Again let me express my appreciation of the splendid work this group of Navy personnel has verformed.
