we don't go out to Nevada again, and we have another year to think
of another test place, this Pacific idea you can talk all you want,
Lewis, put them ona ship and get them out in 30 or 60 days, it will
not be done,
CHAIRMAN STRAUSS:
Fly them out,
COMMISSIONER LIBBY; You cannot put troops on the plane
and so forth,
