3. A l6 February ise¢ Twx from LASL J-I to JSTF-7 Cmdr. appare ntly in response to some previous querys notes that in the event of open seas testing that LASL would have to put approximately 65 persons aboard the LSD and Fi about 8 persons on each of the other 2 vessels which would probab ly be destroyers to operate various Instrumentation. The point here is that apparently JTF-7 is doing some active thinking and planning for various types of operations should we return to testing. A 7February TWX from Starbird to the labs and ALO notes 3 recent high explosive shotsat Carisbed and repercussions that they caused internation- ally, most especially the propeganda use which the Soviets got out of them. C_ Starbird asks certain restrictions on future simifar firings and puts on some simitations but just seems to emphasize that such tests may well! provide the Soviets great propaganda impact and already we seem to be greatly worried about whatever our actions will cause the world to think no matter how cfean we are. There is considerable documentation in this time period of the problem of the safety of devices which cannot now be tested but which might in fact be weaponized and transported, stored, carried, etc.
