ha objections he would like to measure the
total thermal energy as part o CWis LisL Castle program, that it sould not be
too much extra effort for hin.
he’ does this, the DOD will cancel this
whole program, since 8.1 is th
project.

This arrangement is satieetory to LASL and it was so agreed.
Stevart will have instrumentation

of the six shots, the plans largely
concerned with early times but once
tie stations are there the total thermal
measurement will be no problem. He will

because it is a photographic requirenent.
This agreemert is on the basis of n6-Sir drops.

The DOD is interested in the power-

worth the effort of azicdng
this measurement in the air—they are not concernediwith the thermal radciation as a fimction of distance, how it got there, nor th¢ atmospheric trins-

would make a calculation for them based on his surface measurspents. Ogle
agreed that if one knows ‘shat the planc received, he can probably \figure cut
the attermation as well as it is needed.
