2. I talked to the General this morning about your concern with
regard to the relation of CTU 13 (Gilbert) and CTG 7.1 (Ogle). The
General feels that the situation is actually covered by the present
agreement and has so told General Luedecke, who agrees. If, for any
reason, CTG 7.1 and CIU 13 cannot agree, the matter will be referred
to CJIF SEVEN who will refer the matter to Chief, AFSWP for decision.
In any case of emergency when it is impractical for CJIF SEVEN to consult Chief, AFSWP, CJTF SEVEN is the sole judge and his decisions will
be final. I think the matter is covered; however, if you still have
any worries on the matter, let me know and we'll try to iron out any
difficulties. We will also send you a final copy of the agreement when
it's signed.
3. Reference is made to a letter from Phil Hooper regarding the
factor to be used in determining the total number of pilots for the
helicopters. Phil recommended a factor of 3.6 pilots per aheraft. At
the present time we plan to have a total of 13 helicopters in the forward area and use a factor of 2.4 pilovs per aircraft. This will give
us a total of 32 pilots for the operation. In order to conserve pilots
we plan to adopt tne following procedire for recovery flignts:
a.
Have no early recovery flights.
be.
Only one pilot per aircraft instead of two.
c.
A pilot will deposit his recovery party at the desired site
and then will hover out away fro: the hot area, or will take off and re-
turn for the recovery party at a designated tine if the radiation field
is low. Recovery parties could be equipped with radios so that aircraft
can be recalled in cases of emergency. The factor of 2.4 comwes as a
result of total radiation received ner pilot on IVY and consideration of
the procedures outlined above.
In addition to the above total, we plan to make arrangements with
CliicPaC so that we can order out pilots from Oahu on an emergency basis,
if the need arises.
I'd like to keep the total number of pilots as low
as possible and I believe that the above will handle the situation.
This is as I explained it in the War Room and unless you feel we are on
unsound ground, we will proceed accordingly.
4.
We forwarded a letter to General Fields regarding the release of
sensitive information to fhis headquarters,
A copy is attached and I
believe it is self-explanatory. The next move is up to us and I'll have
Al Cowan out to see you on or about 10 August.
5. Itm inclosing copies of two pieces of correspondence prepared by
Dick House.
