forecast of funds required was made to the Atomic Energy Commission, as well as detailed scheduling for FY=-1950. Subsequently, by dispatch dated 17 May 1949, CINCPAC was directed to proceed with planning for the military support of subsequent phases, Representatives of AEC and Holmes & Narver conferred at CINCPAC during the week of 6 June 1949 for this purpose. Pertinent Phase I agreements were extended or modified to meet Phase IT requirements, and forecasts for FY=1950 were drawn up. During Phase II, whichis a major mobilization period, shipping will be at peak loads and personnel movement will accelerate to substantially a peak. In general, this Phase will be characterized by the continued maintenances of existing facilities ani the installation of new facilities, and procurement necessary to sustain and utilize large numbers of people in the field. Military assistance from the Eniwetok garrison will diminish during the transition period 1 July to 31 September, However, military assistance will continue to be required in a number of particulars, which are outlined in the basic Reconnaissance Report. Subsequent phases covering that period of activity during which installations which characterize the Atoll as a proving ground are designed and constructed, are adequately covered in the Reconnaissance Report until such time as more detailed comments can be made, in view of the scientific operating plan. The scope of work for which Holmes & Narver is responsible is contained in a Secret document referred to and made a part of a definitive contract number AT-(29-1)-507, executed 17 May 199. PHASE I OPERATIONS: The operational philosophy outlined in the Reconnaissance Report of 7 January 1949 is referred to and is in principle unrevised as the criteria for following phases of the project. The Phase I mission was principally a follow-up of the previous Atomic Weapons experiments at Eniwetok Atoll. 33
