Our planned participation is an average of eight shots per aircraft.

In the

case of the B-52 and the Bei7, these aircraft will only participate in the shots at
Bikini, and we hope to participate in all of them, if we can, Huron is questionable -

We may be able to get sanething out of this, The B-66, Beo57, Fe8F's, Fel01A will

attempt to participate in Pueblo, Mohawk, Lacrosse I and IT, if there is a II, Huron,

Zuni, Navajo, Apache, Flathead and Cherokee. This will be, I think, four shots at

Eniwetok and all of them in the Bikini area,

In all cases, it will be mecessary

for the aircraft to fly directly over GZ in order to obtain the desired time zero
positions,
I have sae totals which I'd like to give,

Project-wise, we will require

four men at Rongerik. I understand Rongerik is a weather station. Wotho, I under-

stand is uninhabited. (Note: Best information available indicates a native population

eof about 3%.) We also require approximately 14,000 sq ft of lab and office space.
This will be primarily on Eniwetok with some space on Parry.
We have five 10! x 20° concrete shelters we'd like to have on Bikini to hold

the Raydist equipment.

Tentatively, we'd like them on Elmer, How Nan, William, Able

and George. We need five 16' x 32! tents on Elmer, Glen, Bruce, Leroy and Wotho,
We have approximately 85 frequencies we need assigned.

On the time zero transmission, I'm not an electronics expert, but I believe 1 can
