Discussed the need for single thread analysis with Major McCarren, a most competent officer. He, in the afternoon, told us the details of the transit of intention to fire a nuclear weapons through the various staff elements. Took 6 pp of notes that contain a) the sequence of steps in operation, and b) Time estimates on each step.
The graphs on p. 56 can possibly be made by using the times in FM101-31 to go from 0.6/0.5 to 0.1/0.1
Went to Officer’s Club for dinner.
Worked on mt’l of the day and 1960 Income Tax Report.
