interdepartmental agreement could be reached with the Department of Interior
and/or the Department of Defense to answer this very pressing problem.

U.S.

monies are already going to the Trust Territories to provide health care but the

utilization of those funds leaves much to be desired.
The analysis of options open to DOE-BNL has been approached in a system
analysis format, utilizing an outline as developed by Gordon A. Friesen, of the
General Electric Company, Re-Entry Systems Department (Figure 1, page 5).
As in any general systems analysis format, some of the elements will be

indeterminant on the basis of available information.

In the analysis of

"constraints" to the various options, two important facts should be kept in
mind.

First, there will be a common group of constraints applicable to most

options.

These constraints will be listed at the end of this section.

Perti-

nent general constraints will be listed by number in Column II (labelled
constraints) on the flow sheets for each option.

Secondly, constraints should

be considered in two categories:
1.

Absolute - by definition, an absolute constraint offers no

alternatives; in effect, it totally blocks an objective or element of an objective (e.g., no funds);
2.

Relative - these constraints impose a varying degree of modification

on the objective, proportional to the power of the constraint (e.g., 20% of the
funds necessary to reach the objective).
Using this format, we will examine
