Bair:

If I knew the radiation doses, if I knew how much radiation people

received, yes.

Marshallese:

But I don’t know how much radiation people received.

Could you refer to the report of all the teams that have come

and visited us and taken samples and examined us and gathered data?
you not look at that?

Bair:

Could

We have been visited.

It might be possible to estimate how many but it would be very

difficult because you also have to know how much food people ate during
that period of time.

Cowan:

I have no way of knowing.

You make assumptions based upon MLSC and the Battelle Northwest

diet to make these projections.

Couldn't you use the same diet as the

basis to make projections based on data (unclear)?

Bair:

Cowan:

It is not a Battelle diet it is Brookhaven diet.

Okay, whatever diet, you had to use some basis of food intake to

make these projections?

Bair:

You could do that.

Marshallese from Rongelap:

I think that we have had a lots of data

gathered in our population at Rongelap and if you went to the labs in
Seattle and looked into this, probably that could be determined.

Bair:

I think Brookhaven is making a determination

on the thyroid; the

radiation, the amount of radiation the thyroid(s) of the people have
received.

I don’t think their report is finished yet.

Marshallese:

I’m just wondering.

As we’ve already asked, seriously I wish

that you could tell how many people might have died from cancer from the
time of the testing until now rather than this figure which projects into
the future.
