OF MARSHALLESE ISP:DC As you know, we asked Admiral Foster for his judgment on whether publication of this book during the forthcoming test series would have an adverse effect on world opinion regarding the series. He has ad- vised us that he believes the publication should be delayed until about August 1. We should appreciate receiving your concurrence and/or comment on delay of the publication dete until about August 1. I shall be glad to discuss the matter with you in further detail if you wish. Clarence Little is holding the manuscript at present. He suggests that, even if the publication date is delayed, the manuscript be sent to the Government Printing Office as soon as possible to allow ample time for preparation of the color plates. We see no objection to this procedure. Admiral Foster also has advised that the publication of the Oughterson Report, "The Medical Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan", should be delayed until August 1. I am asking the Technical Information Service to take this up with McGraw-Hill. ce: Wm. Henoch, TIS C. little, C&s P.S. Our memoranda to Admiral Foster on the reports, with his comments written in ink on each, are attached for your information. Please return these for our files. nEPosiToRY WASHING Teal Name tat Rese COLLECTION ——>2=le 1 - BOX No. FOLDER v x 60993 118231%
