AEC Information Plan for the Nevada Proving Ground Test.
The paper was distributed by the AEC for study by the Working
Group and discussion at the next meeting. In discussion of publicity with
respect to a mid-April open shot scheduled for Civil Defense purposes,
to which NATO observers might be invited, the Group recognized that the
negative impact of nuclear tests could not be minimized unless such tests
were accompanied by comprehensive and understandable statements on the
beneficial international security results which such tests have had in
the past, plus repeated authoritative statements describing the necessity
for the continuation of such tests in the interests of free world security.
It was felt that invitations to foreign observers to view portions of the
test series would assist in minimizing foreign antagonisms to such tests.
4. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 5, at 11 a.n.,
in the office of the Chairman, room 7258 New State.
