PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94 49
men's barracks down on the main base and there was a mess hall
that we ate lunch in, ate our meals. We were up at odd hours, as
you can see, these 3:00 o'clock launchings.
Q: Who did Alamagordo report to? You indicated it was
Fort Bliss?
A: No. There was a commanding officer, and I'm not sure
which command he was in, but the people in the north area were
all, if you will, tenants. We didn't use that word, but we were
all associated, one way or another with Watson Labs.
Q: So Trakowski then, his reporting chain was .•.
A: His reporting chain was Watson Lab to Colonel Duffy.
Q: There was no real interface, Trakowski had no real
interface with the Alamagordo people or anyone else around 8th
Air Force.
A: There were some fancy orders that gave him a position
to talk to the commanding officer and get what he wanted, to
arrange what he wanted on the basis of orders out of Headquarters
Army Air Force.
Q: While you were operating, doing your procedure, did it
take a security monitor type person or security officer to come
by and just say I wanted to see how you were ...
A: No interface at all.
Q: You don't remember any strangers poking around or ....
A: No, just absolutely nothing. We were just a little
bunch of civilians there on an almost deserted base, doing what
we wanted.
Q: Going back to the orders that you mentioned, were these
some sort of special orders different from what we would
typically see as military orders?
A: You'll have to talk to Trakowski on it, but my opinion
is that he had orders that came from a fairly high level that
introduced him and let him do what he wanted to. As the research
changed, he didn't have to go back and get new orders. He was in
the position of doing what Crary and Peoples wanted.
Q: Like Jim and I have blanket orders that say we're
authorized to go anywhere, essentially, in the world; but was
there anything specific in those orders that said provide all
assistance requested ..•
A: I suspect so. I too, have had such general orders --
do as someone may deem necessary. In fact I have a copy of my
