The enclssc:d cons~sts of a “best estrmata’ py the staff.
In view cf the nzecure of the program:, the fect that the
direction :ad magnitude of future efiec.: often depends
upon conec...sicns resulting from corti viing curveillunce
of the situaticn, and the expectation tiat futur] ~tecuests
from various interested parties may significantly affect
the program, it should be clearly «wnderstced thac the enclosed cost estimates are considered as tentative only.
As you well know, the present circwsstances in the Marshall
Islancs are very fluid, and it is <.£ficult to anticipate
a wide spectrum of possible demand: upon the progzazus which
might alter the cost estimates.

i

Furthermore, 7‘: should be noted that we have rot included

those prorzans which are not cf 2 sontinuing natire and

are consi:ier:d to terminate within the next fiscul year

(e.g., the ts-atoll survey, suppert to the Defense Nuclear
Agency for activities associatec with the clesmvr of Laovetak).
I trust chet this information i: responsive te your request.
Please let m2 know if we can be of further asuiecance.
