FELT:

Yes.

SARDERS: Let me ask this question.
to Sem Howell}.

It is something we might bring up when we talk

If we assume an operation of the same size as REDWING, how

many shots would we be transferring to Taongi?
GIBBINS: The best number we can use rigit now is five.

I think what you need to say

ig that it is very likely to be more than three and very likely to be less
than six.
LUCKE:

They would be all over 1 MT?

GIBBINS: Yes.
SANDERS: And all woud be barge shots?

GIBBINS: More or lese.
KELLY:

I'd like to esk one more question about these people up there.

Gibby, did

you gay 175 total personnel if you were ship-bazed?

GIBSINS: Yes.
KELLY:

And this includes everybody, B&R, etc.?

without talking to any EG& people,

Sandia people or anybody.
REC:

number of total people up there

.

" GIBBINS: Yes, I think if you telk about 50 to 60 UCRL people, it seems like 175
