W. J. Bair Octobe r 13, 1978 Page 3 5. General Comments on Proposed Letter I'm concerned that the draft letter does not convey the general sense of frustration I felt was evident among the members of the Advisory Group at the Denver meeting. My own frustration stems from the feeling that our recommendations to Hal Hollister have little if any effect, and that we are asked to give guidance on technical matters when we don't have the resources to properly gather and evaluate the availabie information. I agree with the opinions expressed in item 14 of Bill Templeton's memo to you dated October 6, 1978, on the need for DOE position papers on technical issues, and for action by someone on integrated management and control of the entire North Marshail Islands radiological effort.
