Transmitted are two copies of Holmes & Narver's latest manpower
and cost analysis study for Eniwetok Proving Ground.
The study
was made in compliance with your request to determine what the
possibility would be of getting down to an organization of 200
men by the beginning of FY 1962 or $3,000,000 total budget.
As you will note from the report, Holmes & Narver feels that they
pe
can reduce to 200 men at a total budget of $3,425,000; but, to get
to $3,000,000 they would have to reduce manpower to 173 bodies.
(lV
They have indicated that they feel an undesirable sacrifice would
be made in both personnel and service to accomplish this $3,000,000
cost ceiling.
We are not entirely happy with the manner in which they would propose
to make either the reduction to 200 people or to 173.
We feel that
there may be areas in which reductions could better be made thanin(2!
certain of the areas in which they have proposed drastic reductions.
For instance, we do not believe it is necessary to release the two
chaplains.
We plan to discuss the accomplishing of such reductions
with H&N in considerable detail.
We feel that something less than the 200 could be accomplished,
possibly not to the level of 173.
We would suggest that, for plan-
ning purposes, a minimum figure of three ang a quarter million be
used.
We feel, for example, that some reduction could be made in
the 28-man-year effort of the Los Angeles office.
It would appear
to us that if this reduction is contemplated, the surplusing of the ea.
equipment and inventory not necessary for the day-to-day operations
wi!
of the site would be desirable.
On the basis of a very rough
estimate, four to five million dollars of excess equipment and three
