and will be safe for film, instruments, and the like* Bird boxes, 
freezers and other non-perishable items will not be stored in this 
area, nor will the ammunition. There will probably be some charge 
for handling our equipment and no decision was reached as to how 
it should be paid. Materials to be stored must be carefully packed 
and labeled before notifying Mr. Frye they are ready for storage. 
Items shipped out during the interim should be plainly labeled 
and Mr. Frye should be notified separately by mail, 
will not open anything. When we wish to withdraw the equipment, 
we must notify him in writing or I can see him personally. At 
1250, rest of field party arrived Honolulu International Airport 
and were picked up by the party leader and taken to the ship. At 
1530 Cdr, Dunlap and Lt. Phillips, his aide, came aboard to discuss 
operations with the ship's Captain, the Executive Officer and the 
project leader. We met until about 1530* We drew up a fairly 
specific operations plan for the first trip, discussed security 
problems with regard to the crew, discussed the importance of bringing 
no biological contamination to any of the islands, and various operational 
problems which may be encountered. It is Cdr. Dunlap's feeling that 
the only thing about this project which Hawaiian Sea Frontier considers 
classified is the location of the study islands. We will be held only 
for a daily arrival report which means that our program will be quite 
flexible as far as Haw, Sea Frontier is concerned. Our position 
reports and weather reports will be classified. The Navy hopes to 
do some additional charting of the study area while we are working 
there. I plan to meet with the Fish and Game Division personnel tomorrow.
