 Certified to be a true copy. 



Mr. Kendall, Now, prior to turning it over to the Air Force, and 

 after the completion, was an underwater inspection made of the tower? 



Commander Foster. No, sir. 



Mr. Kendall. Why not? 



Commander Foster. It was not considered necessary at the time, 

 or indicated. 



Mr. Kendall. But none was made. 



Commander Foster. None was made. 



TOWER MOTION CALLS FOR INSPECTION 



Mr. Kendall. One was subsequently made, I understand, because 

 of the motion of the tower. 



Commander Foster. That is right. 



Mr. Kjendall. And in that inspection it was found that the Darde- 

 let bolts were not holding the collar in place ; is that correct ?
