AZ ~ page 4 required for this contingency need careful examination.” * The situation referred to is apparently the simultaneous conduct of diagnostic tests at Eniwetok, high altitude weapons effects tests at Johnston Island, and very high altitude shots from the south pacific. Further interesting remarks are "it will be observed that regardiess of conditions imposed upon future testing, AEC and DOD programs are likely to be less inter- ‘dependent technically in the future than they have been in the past. Weapons effects programs will be directed primarily toward objectives which would require special effects shots. It i's probable that AEC ‘diagnostic shots will be set up ona twhen ready" basis rather than an extended series, thus allowing limited time for coordination with weapons effects programs. Mutually supported activities wiff“be quite as important In the future as in the past; however, the dove-tailing of technical programs should be far less complex."
