5 patients on the outer islands that will need to be transported back to Kwajalein to be reexamined by Dr. Brown Dobyns prior to transfer to the United States for evaluation and suryery. So that possibly the medical party could expand to 14 or 15 people including patients. Under these circumstances, your suggestion that we might put |both of the medical ak " Ve examination trailersaboardtheshipand can figure one trailer as a bunking ce ‘ yb tratterwhileusingtheothertrailer for the physical examination trailer = =~ ‘seems ‘entirelyfeasible.1 would anticipate that during this part of the covering that we have previously discussed will be fabricated and ready to use aboard the ship during the survey. I hope that some restudy of the storage capability of the ship has revealed some new storage areas because our gifts to the outer islands on this survey will be very similar to the last trip. I would greatly appreciate it if we could obtain and carry with us the following gift foods: of diet Cola, 1,500 lb. rice, 3 bags of donut mix 10 cases of apples, 10 cases of oranges, 25 cases 360 (1 % lb.) cans of beef stew, 240 cans of Spam, (50 lb. bags) andd 20 (3 1b.cans) of shortening, of baked beans (large), 18 cases of powdered milk, 6 cases of 300 lbs. of dried beans. In addition, from the standpoint of for the physical examination tables, we will need at least 85 50 towels to be used by the scientific party for berthing and the outer islands survey. 120 cans oat meal, and housekeeping and sheets and about examinations during At the present time, Bill Scott is working frantically to make arrangements for the air shippment of our medical equipment. As of today, we have 10 to 12 boxes which we anticipate shipping by commercial air to San Francisco and then transfering to Travis Air Force Base for transportation to Honolulu via MAC. Bill has already talked to Mr. Koga and Louise Sutton about this shippment. Of course it is imperative that this shippment reach Majuro the second week in May since we expect to arrive on the island on May 14th. We would appreciate any help that you could give us on that end im-expé@iting the transfer of the shippment. Peter Heotis and Januk will be going down to Majuro about May 9th to make preliminary arrangements there and to set up the car rentals. I just finished talking to our Travel Agent here and I have it set up so that I will arrive in Honolulu at about 11:30 PM on the 9th. Would it fit into your schedule if we could meet in your office at about 10:00 AM on the 10th to discuss the possible configuration of the fixed sites on the outer islands and some of the future logistic plans and hopefully to have a period of time with Wayne Monk to talk about the forthcoming trip. I am in the process of getting a letter off to Oscar deBrum to examine the feasibility of holding a village meeting at Majuro prior to the beginning of our survey there. As far as I know, this has never been done before and I think that we might be able to head off some of the problems that we had during the last survey if we had an open question and answer period before we began the examinations. In line with that, since at least half of the questions that come to the medical survey group during those examinations conceras repara-~ tions and administrative matters, would it be possible to have a member of your staff available for that village meeting in Majuro on the evening of May 14th? I think that Harry did a good job of the briefings that we presented together on the outer islands and probably could present any new developments on PL-116. a
