of the Trust Territory and feels that they are synpathetic to
this approach. Dr. Conard further believes that a payment of
about $100 to each of the 157 Utirik people involved or their

AEC is prepared to provide approximately $16,000 for this purpose.
We assume that, if approved, the funds would be made avallable
by transfer to the Trust Territory for appropriate distribution
to the individuals concerned:.
