that ARDC has forwarded a requirement for six B-57D aircraft to Headquarters,

Furthermore the TWX generally reaffirms the requirement
to.plan for and be ready for and continue to tevise and update operating
procedures and plans documents towards the possibility of returning to testing.
It also states that the Chief of AFSWP states that there is no date set for
test site activation and that resumption of testing will be dependent “upon the
outcome of Geneva negotiations.

be taken which would jeopardise or reduce the Air Force capability for,
continuing development of test capabilities or maintenance the capability to
resume testing immediately following the end of any moratorium.
