Here is a 2 Jan. *message from Bradbury to Starbird which discusses in part the
.
assignment
Cernig,
of various classes of weapons to one or the other laboratory and in
f F
particular some specific developments in testing as well as the feeling Bradbury has
that neither laboratory should be given the responsibility of weaponizing a development
of the other laboratory.
Bradbury seems to favor the assignment of classes of weapons
for development by weight of the device with the various classes being assigned in
alternating order.
In other words, since LASL has been assigned the 1500 1b. and
the 6000 lb. class, Livermore should have the 3000 1b. class.
The message goes on
and sets out a table of suggested assignments of various devices and various weapons
systems to the two latoratories.
This data as well as a message from Teller to Starbird
on 9 Jan. and.a joint message from both labs on’'15 Dec. are all a result of a joint
lab meeting on 15 Dec. 58 on assignment of weapon programs.
