NOTES ON "REPORTS OF THE STUDY GROUP ON ORGANIZATION FOR FUTURE TEST
OPERATIONS", 20 August 1959
This report about 260 pages long is classified SRD and a copy of it was
sent to Los Alamos which was destroyed some time in the past and therefore.
i am taking the notes from the ALO copy for our records.
The report was”
signed out on 20 August 1959with a cover letter for the Secretary of
Defense, the AEC Chairman, and the JCS Chairman .from the study group who
approved the conclusions and recommendations of the study who were the
Commander of Joint Task Force 7 (Major Gen. Charles H. Anderson, U.S.A.F.)
the Chief of BASARear Admiral Edward N. Parker, U.S. Navy), and the
Director of OMA (St&Srboard).
The enclosures to this study make up the background for conducting the
study and also have some very interesting information of the deliberations
and thinking in the AEC and DOD that have preceded this study and were
very relavent to the moratorium situation through {959.
