22 September 1964 
Dear Chuckj 
Enclosed find a carbon of the report I've drawn up on the 
rats if any of this material is needed for the October report. 
I'm sending the original on to Karyanna. As is ay lazy fashion, 
only the original is free of typographical errors. I've 
suggested graphical format for the tables, which Nancy can do, 
rather than the tables I've typed up. 
I also have a page of corrections I've noted in the rough 
draft year-end report I made up in July. I imagine all this has 
been checked over and rewritten by now anyway, but you might 
chock to see if the points I've noticed were corrected* 
I'm assuming that Bob Fleet will arrive on Kure about 
October 8, and therefore that Dennis can leave Kure on the 11, 
and Midway the 13. The overlap causes no problem on Kure, 
Please advise me if this isn't the schedule to be followed. 
The station has on record a letter from the District per¬ 
mitting us a maximum of 3 men up through December 31. I wonder 
if something shouldn't be said to DTC now about the need for 3 
men out here again next spring, so that we don't have the mess 
we had last spring all over again. This will be especially 
important if we are going to help with the aero-ecology program 
of Cone's. 
I guess Kepler will replace DuMont the end of October as 
the schedule calls for. Has there been any planning for De¬ 
cember and January t I'm assuming again that Bob Fleet will 
come off for Christmas, which I guess means I'll be expected 
back in January. So perhaps I'd better not stay out here till 
the end of November as I requested. However, If someone capable 
can come in to replace me then I'd prefer to come back in 
February and stay till the end of May. Perhaps Stadel could 
come back in December or January; he's doing very well out here. 
I realize these things are a ways off, but I thought I'd just 
spill ray thoughts at the moment, and begin some sort of planning 
for the winter and early spring program here. My first choice 
would be to stay till the end of November and coma back in 
February and stay till the end of May. How does this sound to 
you? 
I have a specific request for next June. I'd like to go 
to the mammal meetings in Canada, probably Dr. Layne and I will 
drive, and combine this with a trip to Cornell to arrange for 
admission in February 1966. I don't know how much of this the
