Nevada Test Site recently.

This was largely a result of the close cordial

scientific people associated with the program,

specified by the Weather Bureau,

"Without the helpful and enthusiastic

spirit displayed by these organizations and the efficient and workmanlike
performance of their missions, the sampling program could not have been
accomplished;*-officials of the Weather Bureau commented at the conclusion
of the mission.->
Early in its history, the squadron was authorized direct commnication

with officials of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.-*

Throughout this

‘relationship, members of both groups developed feelings of mtual respect
