As a part of our followup effort, we would appreciate your arranging
at an early date for logistic support for whole body counting of the
Bikini residents.
In our view it is desirable for all persons counted
in April 1978 to be recounted. However, if this is not possible, priority
should be given to counting a representative group including those having
the highest levels in April, 1978. Preliminary discussions with staff
of DOI indicate the possibility of using a Trust Territory ship for this,
and Jaluit Atoll was suggested as the location to do the counting.

WHOLE BODY COUNTING

Also, we are concerned that we have been unable to follow through on the
Ad Hoc Committee recommendations that baseline whole body counting data
be obtained for the Enewetakese who have returned to live on Japtan Isiand.
It is requested that you seek to arrange for these measurements to be made.
Scheduling should be coordinated with the BNL staff who will provide technical direction for the survey. BNL has been asked to coordinate their
effort with appropriate Trust Territory officials and seek their advice
and assistance in planning the survey trip so that the proper arrangements can be made with the Enewetak people.
