Scoville agreed that if one can predict within 10%, measurements
were not necessary, but he did not think this is true yet. Blunda felt that
if the RDB approved this and it does not interfere with diagnostic measurements, its inclusion should not be argued. He pointed out that we only have

These have already had some discussion (see Section [i], B).
They are desired both in the lagoon and for the deep water shdti,/ as st-=ted
earlier, for different reasons—the lagoon work is in connection“with harbor
