An additional literature search turned up the following additional information: "Hiring of civilians was especially complicated also. Special contracts and payroll procedures had to be imposed almost overnight. Some men were arbitrarily placed on the Los Alamos payroll. . . ." Shurcloff, Bombsat Bikini, The Official Report of Operations Crossroads,p. 32 And an additional lab specific note: " Andfinally, the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley had participated in diagnostic measurements of the George Greenhouse shotso that a group ofits young, post doctoral physicists had become familiar with the details of thermonuclear weapon design and were keen on participating in a second weaponslaboratory....There were 40 scientists in this Berkeley group who had worked on the George Greenhouse shot." Libby, The Uranium People, p. 301 According to this book those present at Greenhouse included Ernest Lawrence. Ofthe ten Pacific Proving Grounds Operations,a significant number Radiation Lab (Lawrence Berkeley Lab) personnel have been identified as contributing to at least four during my cursory search: Crossroads, Greenhouse, Redwing, and Dominic I. In addition to those noted above, a review ofthelists of publications suggest that participants also include E. O. Lawrence and Duane Sewell (Sewell was also at Dominic and Wigwam) at Redwing. Cornelius Tobias at Castle. Wade Patterson at Hardtack I. If this search is to go further, I would suggest a review of any personnel lists that DOE could provide and the viewing of the records from the Dennis Copelandlist, most of which are readily available on microfilm (and many of which coincide with the current search for plutonium injections.) In addition it would be helpful to know more about what DOEis looking for. Are they interested in records related to equipment developmentor other matters beyond the presence of personnel attests?
