Atomic Unergy Commission Washington 25, DC. BEST COPY AVAILABLE Dear Dr. Bughert I am enclosing two copies of a memorandum from Mr. Kermit Larson, partie nent to future field testing, for your review and consideration. Our formal discussions of such fields of endeavor may seem somewhat premature at this time, but long range planning is esgential in order to glean all of the data from a field pregram as well as maintain the stability and continuity of the current laboratory research, In the past, there has usually been inadequate overall planning and integration becsuse cf the short time element between the general program assimptions and the definitive operational plan. It is recognised that the Division of Biology and «ledicine most likely has not been apprised by the Test Organization cencerning the part 1% is to play in the next continental field testing peried, However, an indication from your office as to the feasibility and tising for submitting a definitive program and budget would be most appreciuted, I hope that you will bear with us for "Jumping the gun” a little, Cordially, Atetford Cue, Stafford L.
