Herman E. Roser; A.W. Trivelpiece, assistant secretary for ER; and Vaughn,
assistant secretary for EP, discuss the transfer of the Marshall Islands programs. ER’s
position is that although ER does not want to manage the programs, it will contribute
expertise and funding. Vaughn sees EP as an oversight office but does not have a
prepared position. Roser declares that EP has managed the programs poorly and that
if DP receives the programsit will establish immediately a headquarters task force to
determine future policy.“*
