~8details about the Tabershaw contract for the evaluation of Likiap. I explained to him the position that existed when I left the U.S., indicating that no solid commitment has been made by the Congress via legislation for funding to care for the Bikinians but that the BNL medical team would continue to take care of them on a humanitarian basis as long as we could afford it. information I had given Oscar de Brum I again repeated the on the Tabershaw proposal. Later on that same day, I met with Ezra Riklon, the Director of the Majuro Hospital. He indicated that he would loan us the Trust Territory personnel whom we had requested in our preplanning letter, with the exception of Kalman Gideon. Kalman Gideon's place would be taken by Mamaru Kabua, the younger brother of the President of the Marshall Islands, Amata Kabua. He stated that there was a slight problem with Mamaru, i.e., "he drank too much" and that he was sorry to burden me with his problem but he recommended that I watch Mamaru very carefully during the survey. I assured him that any drinking that was done aboard ship would be done in confined Spaces and that no Marshallese would ever be aware that any member of the scientific crew had been drinking. Of interest, while having breakfast the first morning in Majuro, we were approached by Morley Safer and members of the 60 Minutes CBS crew (Enclosure 8). They expressed an interest in our role in Majuro. We gave them a brief survey of the 25 year history of the BNL medical surveillance program and later on in the day Mr. Safer, along with his entire crew, appeared in our decrepit examining trailer at the back of the hospital and asked to film a short interview. Since I was faced with the option of refusing the interview and having CBS stand in front of the Majuro Hospital and say that BNL had refused to allow their examination to be filmed, or of granting the interview, I chose the latter. The interview consisted of a short film strip of myself examining a patient under a rather Lae er beat el. Cai primitive field condition. Dr. Donald Paglia was standing behind the cameraman
