GINSBURG, FELOMAN, WEIL ANO Bress Mr. Hal L. Hollister October 16, 1980 Page Three in the northern Marshall Islands, the dose estimates for return of the Bikini people to Eneu Island would be compared to the Enewetak criteria as described above rather than to the FRC guidance. When this is done, it is found that even with imported food the radiation doses to the people on Eneu would not be expected to be in compliance with the Enewetak criteria for about 20-25 years." (Emphasis supplied) I am enclosing copies of Mrs. Clusen's May 15, 1979 letter as well as cited pages from the hearings, the August 16, 1978 Statement of Understanding, and various newspaper articles that reported at the time that a move to Eneu would not be possible. In light of the above testimony, I believe it would be appropriate to review this matter, and I request that you provide Senator Balos, through me, with a thorough answer to his question. It may be that these 1978 and 1979 statements were based on incomplete data, but this matter should be cleared up. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 4 Sincerely, South, lbigel! cr / Jonathan M. Weisgall IMW:cmf / Enclosures ce: Henchi Balos (w/enc.) Ruth Clusen (w/enc.) Steve Gottlieb, Gordon Law Esq.
