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.

Your time and concern are greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours, GES. ben Chon. Mrs. Ruth G. Van Cleve Director ; Office of Territorial Affairs Enclosure wm 501° .
