1981,

I

had

a

call

from

Dr.

Personnel,

Roy

1954

Maxwell,

DOE-German-

town (353-3721).
Dr. Maxwell is a former participant in the
Atmospheric Nuclear Weapons Test Program and currently serves
as a consultant to DOE.
One of his principal jobs is to review
the historical volumes currently under production by DNA contractors as well as conduct some research in the DOE vault.
ODr.
Maxwell advised me that he had located some "original" medical
records on several servicemen who were stationed on Rongerik
in 1954.
These records have been in the DOE vault for about
ten

years.

Location

before

that

is

unknown.

He

agreed

to

trans-

fer the records to DoD.
I agreed to pick-up the records and
to insure that these records are forwarded to the proper service
for inclusion in the individual's historical file.
On 4 May
81, I went to DOE-Germantown and received the records.
The box
contained approximately one cubic foot of documents including
medical forms for some 29 servicemen and assorted other notes.
All records had been classified SECRET at one time but had been
downgraded to CONFIDENTIAL.
On 4 May 81, I took the entire box
to DNA/ISSO (Mr. Niles) for review and downgrading.
