Purcell claimed Leet had been offered a chance to present a detailed scientific to high Administration officials but had refused to do so. "All Washington is not out to sabotage Professor Leet's inspection system, or to get contracts for themselves to investigate seismic shock waves." Purcell said he had made the statement to clear up possible "misconceptions" about Leet's case...

Leet uses diagrams to indicate that earthquake and blast patterns are visibly different if recorded sufficiently far from the seismic event. The research on which the U.S. based its inspection demands at Geneva showed that the likelihood of detection increased with proximity to the blast...

...Leet, professor of Geology chose the May 9th meeting of the American Academy of Sciences to outline his plan for seismic detection of underground nuclear tests. At the meeting in Brookline, Leet showed slides to the assembled scientists illustrating his contention that earthquake and blast waves are visibly different when recorded from a sufficient distance...

...which graphic differences become apparent, Leet feels, has been overlooked by scientists who are engaged in detection research for the U.S. government. Because these scientists, who worked on the Berkner Panel and the Air Force's Project Vela Uniform, reasoned that moving their stations closer to the suspicious seismic events would enhance chances of detection, Leet feels "they have missed the forest for the trees...

...crux of Leet's complaint is that the Berkner panel, formed to study the problems of test detection, excluded professional seismologists. They only members of the panel who had any seismological experience were what Leet calls, not derisively but not respectfully, "doodlebuggers,." This is a popular term for seismic prospect seismologists, electronic engineers who use a fraction of the know-how of earthquake seismology. Leet himself is an earthquake station seismologist. His application to work for AFTAC, a unit that presently constitutes the Air Force Vela Uniform test detection project, was turned down on the grounds that Harvard...
