1. On 6 May, accompanied bj 25X1
of the Stanford Research Institute. The purpose of 25X1
the visit was to determine whether or no was in a position 25X1
to undertake work rtaining to the location of underground atomic
blasts. stated that he knew of no seismographic means 25X1
of locating an underground explosion after the explosion had occurred.
He stated that there appeared to be more possibility in determining that
a blast had occurred immediately following such a blast. He mentioned
that air and earth sound waves could be picked up at distances of
several hundred miles. He further stated that because of present
high priority work he was unable to undertake any additional contracts,
suggested too that he organize a panel or group 25X1
of competent geophycisists and hope that they could suggest and de-
velop means for determining the location of underground atomic explo-
sions.
2. Although results of this trip were negative,
felt that it was worthwhile and assured me that if he saw where
TSS/SD could be of further assistance to his in this problem or other
related problems he would contact us.
