1. Paragraph 6a of Appendix 1 te Annex K to JTF-SEVER
Order No. 1-58 establishes a maxim permiseable exposure (WE) ef 5.0r
for personnel participating in RARDTACK. We find that edberenes te this
limitation throughout the lengthened HARDTACE series, among two susil
groups of our Task Group 7.4 men, would jeopardise the successful performance of our muclear eloud sampling mission. These two groups ef
men are the fifteen (15) NCO's and airmen of the Duclear Appliegtions
Section of our Cloud Sampling Klement, and the fifty-five (55) B-57B
ground crevmen in the same elezent (groand crewnen of the B-57D's are
being rotated by 40). Inclosure #1 is a listing of the menbers of
the former group together with tho expesure ef eseb ef the individuals
as of 27 dune 1958. Inelosure #2 is a similar listing ef the second
group.
2.
It is requested that MPE's ef 10.0r and 8.0r be established
for the men listed in Inelosure 1 and 2 respectively.
