He had traveled to Kwajalein and to Ebeye in response to Harry Brown's message and was again asking for reimbursement for per diem subsistance and transportation. However, he was carrying a different message with an entirely different per diem rateof $10.00/day (Enclosure 5). He showed me this message and inquired why his rates were differentfrom the rat€ paid to the people from Majuro. I told him that I could not understand the rationale, but within 3 days a representative from the Department of Energy would arrive in Kwajalein with funds to pay the per diem claims and that he should take the matter up with the representative at that time. At this point I would like to emphasize the fact that in my preplanning letter (Enclosure 6) for this survey, I had strongly urged the PASO office to provide a DOE representative for the entire trip. While in Honolulu I discussed this matter with the PASO staff and after a discussion with Bruce Wachholz and Bill Stanley, Bill agreed to accompany the survey. However, when I arrive at Kwajalein i received a message (Enclosure 7) that Bill Stanley would be unable to make it and that Ted Murawski, a Holmes and Narver employee, who had worked as the DOE/DNA coordinator on Kwajalein, would be the substitute. Again, during the examination of patients on Ebeye, a large percentage of my time was spent in explaining to people why they had not received their per diem money and attempting to take care of their housing and financial needs. On Thursday, Mr. Murawski arrived with no funds and a family from one of the outlying islands was forced to ask for food and shelter from one of their friends a until the PASO repfesentative could provide them with sufficient money. Mr. Murawski calleYHonolulu and had funds authorized and on the following day began QOpetindmawk tia Corp Cnt@ini, slloiv'9 takin fn Proiler( Oo or
