Dear Bill: 
Many thanks for all the paperwork - it looks good and we feel well 
informed' and up-to-date. The message about your house is to go out 
today saving ’Good - go ahead - construct etc. Banko is working on 
it now. "There are no hesitations what-so-ever that you should have the 
house and need it for your present programs. There is some confusion 
about the new endeavors you and Jim have in mind. Would it seriously 
injure anything to postpone the plans for these until you return in 
136k? This would give you s chance to go over everything with Banko 
while you are here. Hopefully, by January 1 we will have some indications 
on the" entire operations for 19(9+. I am enclosing a draft of an over¬ 
all program and we'd like your comments and suggestions. 
Bob wrote from Sand about the tidal wave: 
"From 1 to 4 a.m, everyone here was on the roof of the generator 
building with a substantial quantity of food, radio equipment and other 
gear waiting to be swept into oblivion by the giant wall of water which # 
fortunately never materialized. It was a most scintillating experience." 
Dr. H. suggested that you carry a gun at all times if you can to 
collect the accidentals. He’s very enthused about your sight records 
and wants you to continue collecting like mad. 
Did I tell you that we will probably be collecting ticks for DTC 
at Midway-Sure? We're waiting for the written request. Binion said he 
thought there were probably same available, but he didn't attempt any 
collecting of them himself. 
Ludwig's plans have been changed, he'll tell you about it, the 
explanation is long and complex and in a letter to him. He'll stay at 
Mdwsy-Kure until Decanter 20 probably. 
Friday evening here and must rush to get this out. Darn Fridays,
