Dear Mr. Stevens,
STATINTL
m a a e or an orientation
a major opera Iona weapons test center. Their host was Mr.
Robert Burrows.
The background information which they picked up will be extreme-
ly useful in analyzing similar foreign facilities. The success of any
tour depends to a great degree on the free exchange of information and
ideas between the participants. By any standard, this tour was an un-
qualified success because of the open and professional treatment ac-
corded our analysts.
I would. like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Phil Lilly who
gave the extra effort which is needed to produce a truly outstanding
tour.
Thank you very much for your time and effort and your patient
flexibility concerning the scheduling of our trip.
Sincerely,
Noel L. Fit
