Well, I think the answer is clearly, yes you can.

But if there are

substitute locations, substitute sources which would have lower radiation
levels we would recommend that those be used.

But it seems funny that you add a “but”

right away as soon as you say that, when in actuality we’ve had a storm hit
us and we only have very young trees planted on other islands in the atoll

Well, that choice isn’t there, but we do have those breadfruit

That’s correct.

Robison:

I would like Bill Robison to comment on that.

Yes, Senator, we planted the breadfruit and pandanas and coconut

trees on Enjebi, as you know, as part of our program in order to better
evaluate Enjebi Island.

As you know there were no foods available for us

to directly measure and we had to predict what we thought the concentration
would be in food products at Enjebi by knowing what was in the soil.

So we

plqnted the crops, so that we would have samples to directly measure and,
therefore, we could make a much more precise estimate of the doses on
Enjebi.

And therefore, we need those for samples, and it takes quite a

number of breadfruit and quite a number of pandanas fruit and a quite a
number of coconut in order for us to be able to make the analysis we need.
So we planted those for a purpose and we do need them for a purpose.
not, we do not need them all but we do need...
