Is based oa tli^ probability that we win hafe to do saaethiag about motor 
^fterators before that tiiaa, The preseat lot have been asuorsed aloag fcxr about 
two years aow, and th^ is a limit to how long «e aay coatlaue to depend on than, 
I ■'srt.sh 1 could say that a ccd>le would be available^ but this is cartalaly out for 
the present as far as Qormtmmv^ fuMs are concerned. Our only chance of having 
them provide fedaral funds wjuld be if the defease faeces decided to use the 
Island as a laboratoev. 
¥e iJould be very glad to have your oplMoa as to aotor gen^ators replacsiieat, 
not only as to the tl^, but m to the type as well. You will r®®ab@r that Ji*. 
lansen argued for Piesels very strongly, and you objected to the® cming to the 
noise involved. I wish all of our genomtors were around at the other side of the 
clearing, but It is probably too late to discuss this now since it would not only

I note your facilities fcr February will be rather well orowded, and if Br, 
Wstatore leaves here at toe end of Jaiaiary, as his present plana eonto^late,,you 
will .have to make seme advance anraaagaieKts to be certain thare is rocm far hha 
on toi® Is3,and, because he will undoubtedly want to stay over a night ca? two* Aiy 
full dl-scussioa as to your plans sight well await his cosing since he and you can 
x>-mt the whole thing ri^t on the ground. I hope to be down sometji* in the 
dry season, but ay p inna will have to asait semse deT^lcpmnts, aeny of vtoldj. are
