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
