Josephsoa Lt. Col. aq: Brien Capt. Rosen SYMBOL: ALT: JER-1496 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.

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 (continued) WityouT ONCECS WeeK CONE TRMED TO A UTHORITY: hod any BY R.S.
