Dear Joshua:

As promised, here is a copy of the report of NAS-NRC
ad-hoc committee which helped us on the BW wWarnine device problem.
Also enclosed is a statement of the problem as given to them, which
they were asked to consider. The problem differs from yours, but
there may be points of interest in common. No particular considera-
tion was given to items more-or-less along in development, such as
the Partichrome, rather than to brief the group on their status,
since our hope was for new and novel approaches to the problem.

Sincerely,
1 Incl CHARLES R. PHILLIPS
