BRODIE: The two are going to cover area?

SELBY: Are we getting boom out on those vessels that are moving around?
WADE: Boom will be on Katmai vessels.

GOULD: You have quote to move with skiffs?
WADE: VECO is going to contact Fish & Game people. That is the immediate
need to pick up birds. I talked to Don King, and he only asked for one.

found one bird, and they want to patrol around.

SELBY: That should be conducted with Fish & Game.
WADE: We have asked VECO to look at other places to see how it's being done
there.

(Gave Valdez list to Wade).
DISCUSSION ON SETTING FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR SKIFFS.
SELBY to WADE: There is a survival training outfit in town, and they suggest
if you are going to have people out on beaches, you may want a short seminar on
survival.
DISCUSSION ON SURVIVAL TRAINING.
DISCUSSION ON COMMANDER KEISTER'S REPORT AT LAST EVENING'S MEETING.
BRODIE: Is Exxon planning on sending people to villages to talk to the peogle
there?
JONES: I know that they are in Prince William Sound. I know of no plans to
do that in your villages. We are trying to get out to Chignik. I am hoping
some of the information we got to Dolly Reft will help. We got a sense of
where the fears are coming from and will act accordingly. If anyone else says
we are needed, we will go.
BRODIE: You aren't going to try and head this off at the pass? If you were
behind Dolly, it would ease their concerns.
JONES: We can't fly on any planes that haven't been approved and certified
by Exxon in Houston.
BRODIE: How do we have our airplanes apply to be able to do that?
JONES: That is one of our problems in getting to Chignik. We have to get a
plane out of Valdez.
GOULD: You said Penn Air is certified, and we have a Penn Air here.
BRODIE: Who do we contact to get this resolved?
JONES: I wonder if it will be practical to get it done because it takes so
long.
SELBY: We would like to pursue it because we know the stuff is going to wash
up for a long time. Doesn't make sense to have a plane come from Valdez to fly
you to Old Harbor.
BRODIE: Put it on list to be re -certified.

JONES: We have to see if there is a real need to do that.
GOULD: How do you define need?
JONES: We don't. In the past, we have had an association to check those
needs out with villagers.
BRODIE: The villagers are seeing wrong information on news programs, and it
needs to be diffused.
JONES: I did have a long talk with Dolly Reft today and relayed information
to her. Yes, we will go if need is demonstrated. We are committed to do that
thing.
