(Hall came in later, said that

the idea had not gotten very far.) Graves suggested controlling then
fram the tugs, making this a self-contained unit.

Hall is investigating all these things for the Task Force,
Ogle thought we must get together with him and get a detailed plen for
movement the last few days. He was also afraid they were right about

having to bring the ships back to Eniwetok or leave them out in the ocean
to decontaminate thea. The Bikini Lagoon may be so hot from Shots 5 and
4 that its water could not be used to decontaminate the ships. The DOD
and Task Force did not want to commit the tugs for too long a tine,
therefore would prefer to leave them at Bikini.

Desontamination and Protections - CRL

This consists of some participation in 6.4 aboard ship.
Kingsley did not know the exact nature, but thought it was the usual
thing they doo No shere construction is required. 6.5 was not in the
list we had at the last meeting, however, even at that time it was to
be a joint project, at least CHL was to have some participation in 6.4.
Kingsley thought possibly it could all be put into one project.
