Military on the question of high altitude studies. The letter is more
or less in response to a February letter from York to Starbird requesting
AEC. cooperation with the Air Force in exploring the possibility of having
tertain high altitude wearons effects investigations performed by the
AEC Laboratories. The cooperation then on-going between the various
