there will be only a single group to deal with rather than a
number of observer groups each representing a singie nation.
If
each nation were allowed to send its own observer group and
conduct its own experiments the problems,
including control of
classified information, of the test organization and other
government agencies would be vastly complicated,
Furthermore , an
observer team of the United Nations assures the best possibility
of placing an unbiased judgment before the world audience.
The
observer group should consist primarily of a team of competent
scientists and technicians as required to carry out the necessary
experiments, measurements and analyses,
It will probably be
necessary ror this team to receive a certain amount of training,
prior to the demonstration shot,
of the method to be used.
in the equipment and technique
The personnel of the observer team
Will either perform all or part of the actual work themselves
under the general guidance. and supervision of U. &S, personnel, or.
the work will be done by U. S. personnel. under close observation
by the observer group.
5. Ideally,
the method which is used to demonstrate the
fact of reduced fallout should possess the following characteristics:
a. High credibility - the results of the demonstration
should be convincing to the observer group.
b. High reliability - both the weapon and method used
should give adequate assurance of success,
c. Minimum disclosure of classified information ~- the
method should not require the disclosure of classified
information, at least of the more sensitive categories.
Special care must. be exercised to avoid the possibility
that whatever information is disclosed, when taken with
information which might already be available or which
might become available to other nations, might reveal
information of greater sensitivity.
d. Minimum cost - the method should not be prohibitively
expensive to carry out.
