The terrestrial biota group collected samples on Alice, Belle, Clara, Daisy, Edna, Kate, Lucy, Pearl, Ruby, an unnamed island between Ruby and Sally, Vera, Wilma, Vau, Alvin, Bruce, Clyde, David (Japtan), Rex, and Elmer (Parry). On January 10, CDR Wolff attended a meeting in DNAwhich was called to discuss some of the interfaces between DOD and DOI regarding cleanup and rehabilitation. Included in the agenda were discussions on the following: (1) DOI partially supporting the DNA contract with H&N to provide rehabilitation-related estimates as well as cleanup-related estimates ; (2) DOI funding a portion of the DOD EIS, since this will probably cover both cleanup and rehabilitation; and (3) A draft Air Force proposal that the atoll be returned to the TTPI ''as soon as the AEC surveys confirm that (some of) the islands can safely sustain native habitation.'"’ This would be a few months earlier than the December 1973 commitment made by the High Commissioner and Ambassador to the Micronesian Status Negotiations. (4) The status of PACE and other U. S. Government activities after December 1973.
