Carried out because it is virtually impossible to land at that island
during the winter months.
This is no longer the case since weather
conditions ameliorate in the spring and we believe that the former residents of Bikini on Kili must be checked along with those on Majuro.
With
the Brookhaven medical team now in the Marshalls, it should be possible
to do so with a minimum of additional costs.
On behalf of Under Secretary Joseph, Deputy Under Secretary
Green, and myself, let me thank you and your staff for participating in
the meeting.
I believe it was on the whole a useful exchange.
Your time
and concern are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,

GES. ben Chon.
