I have recently finished extracting all of the return data from the green memo books 
for the ADT system, if and when it is used* All green books in my possession will be sent 
to you in the very near future. I have gone through all of the books and made a label fw 
for the front of each giving the islands, SIC # and the inclusive banding dates so that the 
books can be more readily located and used. All future trips will be written up for the 
ADP as soon as possible and the green boosk will be sent directly on to you. 
Could I have all of the remaining green memo books that are h t ffc available in D.C. 
I would also like to have the return records for such places as Kure and Sand-Johnston so 
that these can be run through for ADP extraction as well. The extraction doesn’t take a 
great deal of time - I went through almost 200 memo books in the course of a week while doing 
other things. Any books that are sent out will be run through and returned within afew 
weeks time. With Dick Merrill here helping me I now have sufficient time to handle such things 
as this. When here alone almost 20 or more hours each week were burned up in travelling from 
here to there for this and that and another 5>-6 were spent in other inane tasks such as wrapping 
packages for island stations, etc. I’m getting gobs done now with him here to help out. 
There is one item of supplies we will be needing for the next SIC trip. Could you send 
out about 2U more of the headlites (Justrite) The trip to Palmyra and a whole gang of side 
trips here and there (plus new personnel coming in) has almost exhausted my supply of new ones. 
Guess that about covers things for the time being. I am now busily typing up revisions 
for the band listing and will have them finished by the end of this week or beginning of next 
week. I'll send them off to you as soon as they are finished so that they can be back here and 
ready for issue by the time the SIC trip returns to Honolulu. 
Regards,
