CHAIRMAN STRAUSS: This has just arrived at this minute, and
I think I ought to read it, It is from Senator Anderson, It is dated
the 2lst,, that is Monday,
‘‘Dear Mr, Chairman:
**As you know the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy has
staunchly supported the Commission in its desire for a continental
test site, We have also insisted that every necessary step must be
taken to assure that operations at the Nevada Test Site are conducted
sefely and that no significant hazard to off-site public health should
zesult from test operations, Experience so far in the present series,
however, prompts me to raise the question of whether the Nevada
Test Site can be utilized effectively and economically under the present
eriteria for anything other than very small yield devices.
*Separate minutes for this part of the meeting have been circulated,
