Dear Colonel Singleton:
Over the past several months there has been an exchange of correspondence between our Pacific Area Support Office in Honolulu
and your office regarding housing/office needs for Or. Konrad
Kotrady at kwajalein. In reviewing this exchange I find that
we have perhaps not made sufficiently clear the functional requirement which we are trying to satisfy.
As you know, Dr. Kotrady has been selected to succeed Dr. Knudsen
who was resident at Kwajalein until last October. This full time
assignment is vital to the success of our medical surveillance
program in the Marshall Islands and I am sure that you are aware
that the continuation of that program 1s a serfous moral obligation of the United States. Our resident physicfan at Kwajalein
1s required to maintain medical and other records pertaining to
our field surveys and to confer with the other ERDA-sponsored
doctors and scientists who from time to time visit Kwajalein
en route to the other islands and atolls. In addition, our
resident physician fs expected to see Marshallese patients at
Kwajalein.
All of this suggests the need for professional office
space for Dr. Kotrady. Conventence, comfort, and econony of the
physician's time suggest a house trafler as the ideal facility
for satisfying Dr. Kotrady's office requirements while at the
dae eo ee
same time providing him comfortable living accommodations.
I recognize that it is important to you to maintain the integrity
of your housing assignment policy and would not ask for a devia-
tion solely for housing purposes. I hope, however, that you will
recognize the urgency of our professional requirements and rather
than assign family housing to Or. Kotrady, recognize his situation
as unique, assign him a trailer office and permit: him to use a
portion of that space as living quarters.
