What we are asking you to do is apply a different,

more rational

form of analysis to them.

Indeed,

the new

dose assessment done by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and
the risk estimates done by our own independent advisors

Simply confirm the essential accuracy of the information
contained in the EIS.
What is required is the preparation of a “record of decision"
in accordance with 40 C.F.R. §1505.2.
In response to the
October 8 request by the people of Enewetak, the earlier

Enjebi decision should be reconsidered.
In other words
the decisionmaking process which is to be guided by 40
C.F.R. Part 1505 should be commenced and the "alternatives
described in the environmental impact statement” should

be considered anew.

Id. §1505.l(e).

Then the decision taken

and the reasoning by which it was.reached, including a

discussion of alternative courses of action which were
considered, are not to be included in the impact statement
itself, but rather set forth in "a concise public record

of decision.”

Id. §1505.2(a) and (b).

If you would like to discuss this matter, you have only to
call.
Best regards,
Oe
