IN REPLY REFER TO:

	CMIWR-SP 322/61


	SUBJECT:  Pubic Release on RW Tests at Dugway Proving Ground


	TO:   	  Director of Logistics
		  General Staff, U.S. Army
		  Washington 25, D. C.


	1.   It is the opinion of the Chemical Corps that a publc 
release of some type should be made relative to the forthcoming tests
of RW muitions at Dugway Proving Ground, Tooele, Utah, starting 
18 October 1949.

	2.   A properly worded statement by the Department of the
Army seems preferable to the sometimes irresponsible scare stories
emanating from poorly informed reporters.  A peacetime operation of
this type will probably draw public notice sooner or later 
regardless of the security procedures adopted.  The territory being
used for the tests is being surveyed continually by prospectors for
radioactive ore, so that an unusual amount of radioactivity found
by such prospectors would certainly draw attention to the area.

	3.   Dr. Joseph G. Hamilton, Chairman of the RW Test Safety
Panel, has indicated that he thinks a public release on the RW
munitions tests should be made.  He has suggested that the release
state that tests with radioactive materials will be conducted at
Dugway and that the purpose of these tests is to obtain 
decontamination data for use in preparing defensive doctrine.

	4.   It is understood that the Committee on Atomic Energy
of the RDB, in a meeting during May 1949, considered an agenda item
containing a draft of a letter to the Secretary of Defense which
recommended a release on the general RW program.  It is further
understood that this meeting overruled the desirability of such a
letter to the Secretary.

CMIWR-SP					3 October 1949
SUBJECT:    Public Release on RW Tests at Dugway Proving Ground

	5.   The inclosed draft of a public release on tests to be
conducted at Dugway has been written in the vien suggested by
Dr. Hamilton.  There is no reference to the general RW program or
to the use of radioactive materials in the Dugway area for the 
purpose of formulating defensive doctrine.  This type of release
should provide sufficient information to satisfy the curious who
might hear of the tests and should quell any fears for individual
safety that could arise from inopportune stories.

	6.   A decision on the desirability of a release such as that
inclosed is requested.
