AND DEVELOPMENT BY THE UNITED STATES AHEAD OF TIME AND TWO,
ADEQUATE GENERAL EDUCATION, AND THOROUGH TRAINING OF THE
INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS IN THE USE, ANALYSIS, AND FEASIBILITY
OF THE TECHNIQUES INVOLVED.
THE OBSERVERS SHOULD DO THE WORK
THEMSELVES ,
SUCH AN OBSERVER TEAM SHOULD BE CAPABLE, HAVE "LONGEVITY" AS
A UNIT, AND BE RESPONSIBLE TO A CONTINUING BODY SUCH AS THE
UNITED NATIONS.
AT THE PRESENT TIME THE MOST HOPEFUL TECHNIQUE IS PROBABLY THE
| ROCKET TONIZATION MEASUREMENTS IN THE CLOUD SUCH AS WAS INVESTIGATED BY NRDL,
AT CONSIDERABLE RISK OF LACK OF CREDIBILITY, THIS.
TECHNIQUE MIGHT BE USED WITHOUT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT BY THE UNITED
STATES.
EVEN SO, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOW TIME TO GET
A PROPERLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED INTERNATIONAL TEAM READY.
IN
ADDITION, WE BELIEVE THE TECHNIQUE SHOULD RECEIVE FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT BY THE UNITED STATES BEFORE GOING TO INTERNATIONAL
HANDS.
|
ANOTHER TECHNIQUE, FALLOUT MEASUREMENTS ON THE SURFACE, APPEARS
UNRELIABLE AND PROBABLY UNCONVINCING SINCE IT DEPENDS UPON
METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN A COMPLEX WAY, AND CONDITIONS SIMILAR
ENOUSH FROM SHOT TO SHOT WILL BE HARD TO FIND,
LOCAL FALLOUT MEASUREMENTS IN THE PACIFIC COULD VERY EASILY GIVE
MISLEADING INFORMATION, SINCE SPOT MEASUREMENTS IS ALL ONE COULD
EXPECT TO MAKE WITH EASE EITHER ON LAND OR ON THE OCEAN,
WE
FEEL COMPARISON OF THE REDWING SHOTS ZUNI AND 'TEWA (JO-269, 15)
OCT 1956; JO-262, 3 OCT 1956) POINTS OUT HOW SERIOUS QUESTIONS |
OF CREDIBILITY COULD BE RAISED ABOUT FALLOUT MEASUREMENTS ON LAND,
