INTRODUCTION
The meeting was opened by CDR Wolff, Chairman of the Eniwetok Coordination
Committee. Copies of the "Planning and Operations Directive (NVO-121) 1972 - Eniwetok Atoll Radiological Survey,'' were distributed for information
and retention. Review by all offices, particularly DOS and DBER, was
solicited. Comments to "correct the record" were desired. It was noted
that DMA (Tests) would provide copies of the survey plan to other agencies
as appropriate.
It was suggested and agreed to that Peter Coleman be provided a copy of

Coleman with the proviso that it is for information only and not for
publication. Considerable discussion ensued concerning the PACE injunction

copy of the survey plan to the plaintiffs law firm in Hawaii were discussed
at length. It was decided to furnish a copy to them only if they requested
it.
