AIRMAIL-SPECIAL DELIVERY 
March 12, 1964 
Dr. Charles A. Ely 
Hawaiian King Hotel 
417 Hohonani Street 
Waikiki, Hawaii 
Dear Dr. Ely: 
Col. Them called me a few minutes ago and said pending further 
action, probably medical, Davis will not receive clearance. He will 
be very disappointed not to be leaving for the field. I haven’t told 
him. I’ll leave that for Dr. Humphrey or until I'm pushed into it.'] 
How - as for the personnel scheduling, I have made the following 
changes if it is all right with you: 
Hoeman will stay aboard the S^arbrite changing to Sand right 
after tbs* April cruise. 
' r 
Arne r man will stay on Sand until Hoeman can relieve him. Hone 
of this seems drastic to me. I think that someone should inform 
Amerraan that he will not be relieved until late April. He may have 
the impression that it will be earlier from that tentative field plan 
I sent out. And of course Pat and Vin should know where Vin will be 
in April, 
• ' . 
V-. 
Gotta run - Linda and Mrs. Church are after me. With every mail 
today have come things to be copied and sent to you and thousands of 
banding schedules for Jane.
