Scope and Contents

A troubling development in the Dugway research occurred; its funding was to be canceled. Woodbury attempted to reinstate or gain funding from another source. He traveled to Washington, D.C., in order to discuss funding for the program. He approached the Navy and the National Institute of Health as possible sources of new funding. After visiting Washington, D.C., Woodbury traveled to Mona Island, by Puerto Rico. Here he compared notes with scientists involved in research similar to the work at Dugway. Before returning to Utah, Woodbury stopped at the Military's School of Aviation Medicine in Texas. He discussed the effects of radiation on animal populations with army scientists. Tension between the U.S. and the Soviet Union grew again. Woodbury commented that many areas in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia threaten to be conflicts like the Korean War.
