Roger J. Mattson, Director Lessons Learned Tash Force

SUBJECT:

HYDROGEN BUBBLE Reading over the draft of the chmnology and thinking more about it, caused me to recall two additional conversations regarding the Hydrogen Bubble:

1.

Sometime Saturday, I had a call from someone in the White House inquiring about the AP story that had been released.

I indicated that I did nct know the facts regarding that issue and since there was a reference to statements made by Frank Ingram, I suggested the story was most likely released from Bethesda and referred the caller to the Operations Center in Bethesda.

I cannot fix the time, but believe it was probately sate afternoon or early evening, Saturday.

2.

Shortly after the telephone call referred to above, I recall speaking to Mr. Case in Bethesda, trying to find out the basis for the concern over the Hydrogen Bubble. This phone conversa-tior provided me with the first insights to the concerns held by personnel in Bethesda.

I believe I indicated that I did not share the same concem at that time.
