- such a course is indteated because 14 offers inerensed pramiee for
obtaining a capability in thermomuelear weapons in early 195k.
We realize that the above ‘suggested plan has & major dapact on.
military planning as well aa on the. supporting Task Porca. With
the opening of these several avenes for advance in thermonuclear
weapon development, and with, the emphasis that is belng placed on
the program, 2 possibility still exists that one weapon model may,
unexpeatedly develop shead.of. the othera to the point where it. .
becomes Teasible and advantageous to prooftesat this model in the |
Pall of 1953. To be able to take advantage of this possibility. .
should 1t arise, it would be desirable for the JIF to retain the ,
capability of mounting a mich simpler operation on an onergency
basis in the Fall of 1953,
In view of the importance of thia program, your carly commentsare requested.
Sincerely yours,
H. D. Spyyth
