Honolulu, Hawaii
August 30,1963
Took Ken Wilz to the airport and saw him off at 9 a.m.
Called Pat Gould and talked a few minutes and he told me they
(Fleet and Ludwig) would come by about 11 a.m. Called Cmd. Doyle
and told him about forwarding or routing messages concerning SI
or DTC personnel going to CG Stations to CCGD Fourteen. Also
discussed full cooperation from CG at S and I. Asked Doyle to
call the P.H. gate so I could get a Temporary pass. Called Lt. Comd.
Gandy, C. O., U. S. S. Tawakoni and asked if he could talk with me
this morning. He was delighted to hear from me and said come on.
A few items were discussed about the upcoming trip in October.
He would like a definite committal as to how many people would
be on the trip and who they are and their GS ratings. He would like
to slightly alter the trip schedule as the ship needs to refuel
and get fresh supplies during the trip. A ship (tanker) from Pearl
Harbor could do this but would have to travel over 4500 miles.
So it has been suggested by him (and is now before ComSeaPac and
HawSeaFron) that the ship go to Pago Pago around the first week
in November for food fuel and liberty for the crew. This would take
approximately six days out of the present plan but could probably
be made up by cutting some off of Baker and Howland.
After returning to the Skylane I met Gould, Fleet and Ludwig
and talked about various parts of the Project. We all went to NSC
Pearl City during the afternoon to get supplies for Ludwig to take
