Reply #51: Just a guess, but Jackson would have known "Mega"

Maybe, Mega's identity. Look at the time period. In 1965, Israel was deep into its nuclear program. The Israelis completed their first couple of deliverable devices just before their preemptive attack across the Sinai in 1967. The fissile material for those first devices was plutonium. The major source of plutonium production in the United States is Hanford, Washington.

Israel makes plutonium for atomic bombs at the Dimona nuclear complex in the Negev Desert. The French-supplied reactor there has produced plutonium with heavy water from Norway (brokered by the British) free from international controls since 1962. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4789832.stm The Israeli nuclear program goes back to the very founding. While Israel had reactors in place long enough to produce much of its own materials, the technology of plutonium bombs is complex and requires very specialized knowledge and equipment, and vast amounts of fuel stocks and chemicals. The program also required a substantial amount of proven, weapons-grade material for experimental and development purposes. Those components and knowledge were sourced from several countries, including the US, UK, and France.

Mega, obviously, would have been at the center of organizing transfers from the US. Contact with the Senator of Washington State and his staff would have had obvious advantages.
