OEITZ *@ADMITTEO 1M NEW YORK ONLY WRITER’S DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (202) Mrs. Alice Buck Box 1711 APO San Francisco 637-9104 96555 Dear Alice: AS you may recall when we met last October, I discussed with you the possibility of serving as a translator for (1) a lay paper on the recent DOE-sponsored radiological survey of Bikini, to be prepared by an independent scientist selected by the people of Bikini, and (2) a meeting on Kili to discuss the paper. The Memorandum Agreement of October 27, 1978 settling the litigation in People of Bikini v. Seamans, et al., Civ. No. 75-348 (D-Ha.), a copy of which is attached, provides (4 10) that the people of Bikini may select "a qualified scientist having generally accepted scientific training and experience to participate in the process of analysis of [the] survey tt results ° o The people of Bikini have selected Epidemiology Resources, Inc. (ERI) of Boston, Massachusetts. Two of ERI's leading senior advisers who would work on certain aspects of this project are Dr. Henry I. Kohn, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Medical School (who will assist in health risks), and Dr. John Harley, former Director of the U.S. Government's Environmental Measurements Laboratory (who will assist in dosimetry). The director of ERI is Dr. Nancy A. Dreyer, who co-authored "The Feasibility of Epidemiologic Investigations of the Health Effects of Low-Level Ionizing Radiation,” which was recently prepared on contract to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I hope to complete contractual arrangements with the U.S. Government within the next few weeks regarding ERI's work.
