ConsensusWIUNiIN tn@VUE STATT W1ii NUL De edSy, Tor tmere-are nuiesc differences of opinion regarding both the role of DOE and the issue itself. The integrity of radiological safety standards, potential legal and financial liability, the cust of continued DOE involvement in the Marshalls, the relationship between this issue and the on-continent "down-wind" problems--are but some of the ramifications. In the face of these, DOE's recent advice has in general been conservative. Such conservatism, which ultimately has its price in freedom of action and in the people's right of self determination, deserves periodic reexamination. The Secretary of the Interior has asked the Secretary of Energy for advice in these matters, and has specifically asked to be informed of what conditions, if any, should be iimposed if the people of Bikini are relocated to Eneu Island. The requisite inforination is available to allow the formulation of such advice. It is recommended that the Secretary direct the staff to review this information and develop realistic options which might be available to the Secretary of the Interior.
