ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
As you may have noted, the Atomic Energy Commission and the
Department of Defense have planned a series of test shots
to take place at the Nevada Test Site commencing about mid-
February 1955.
It is vy belief that it would be of interest to you to
witness one of these experiments and should you desire to
do so it would be a great pleasure for me to make the
necessary arrangements.
There will be official transportation provided departing
from the Military Air Transport Service Terminal, National
Airport, Washington, B. C. Information is attached which
should cover those items necessary for such plans as you
may care to make.
Would you let me know if you care to go so that I can have
arrangements made.
Sincerely yours,
