Employ simple codes (to be furnished separately by CUTF SEVEN)

in conjunction with the periodic weather reconnaiasance reports to
report approximate air radiation intensities encountered on reguilarly established weather reconnaissance! or cloud tracking flights and
for reports required from aircraft operating during the BIKINI phase
between ENIWETOK and BIKINI from H Hour to H pius 24 hours. Reports
will indicate the approximate position, altitude and order of magni.
tude of radiation encountered.
