Wow 27 1954 we! C. Le Dunham, Director As a matter of clarification, it is assumed that in the first paragraph of your ictter that Eniwetok Marine Blology Laboratory means the support activity for Eniwetok-Bikini surveys and not the transfer of the contract for the operation of the Eniwetok Marine Biology Laboratory Contract No. AT(29-2)-226, As you know, costs for MATS transportation are incurred in connection with the operation of EMBL which are not paid from contract funds but by the SAN Office, budget activity 06 05 02, We believe that it is appropriate that SAN continue to pay these costs since they are incurred by EMBL. We will provide an estimate of the MATS costs in our budget submission, in order that they may be funded separately. eet James EB.
