The meeting wes reconvened in executive session with the members of

the Committes, Dr. Dunham and Mr. Blatz present.

The Minutes of tne previous meeting were read and approved.

and with Dr. Fred's Board of Regents meetings, future meetings would

be held on the third Saturday of the month and the preceding day;

in November (16 and 17), January (18 and 19), March (15 and 16),

and May (17 and 18).

It was voted that the November 16 and 17

meeting be held at Brookhaven in order that Dr. Failla be able to
attend and the January meeting was tentatively set for Berkeley,
California.

A general discussion was held on the limitations of weapons testing

end also considerations were given to the subject of administration
of tne Atomic Bomb Casualt> Commission program. Several suggestions
were made for possible future directors and their qualifications
were discussed. The subject of change in name for the Project was
discussed but DR. HOLMES hed expressed some reluctance to make any
such move at the present time.
It was generally agreed that no
action or recommendat.on with regard to the ABCC should be made at

the present time by the Committee.

Some consideration was given to the selection of a new member for
the ACBM and the fact that a clearance now takes from three to six
months makes an early selection recessary.
It was agreed that the

next member should not be a physician since there were already several
present on the Committee. DR. DUNHAM suggested that the inclusion
of a physicist might serve to balance the Committee.

The termination

of Dr. Doisy's service suggests the need for another non-medical

biochemist.

DR. DUNHAM discussed plans for the possible expansion of the DBM
staff in the future and the need for an industrial physician.
