Dear Dr.

Liverman:
Enclosed is a brief summary of the 1974 medical survey
of the Rongelap and Utirik peoples including radiological
surveys on Utirik, Rongelap and Bikini. Attached also is a
summary of the village meeting with the Rongelap people which
shows continued "misunderstandings,." Up-dated tables of
thyroid lesions are included also.
The Bikini data, I am sure, has added importance in view
of the requests for information from the Micronesian legal
people and we shall try and prepare more detailed reports as
soon as possible,
The three new Rongelap people with thyroid nodules (two
exposed and one control) will be brought to Brookhaven the last
of this month for complete studies and possible surgery in Cleveland in early July.
I shall probably plan a trip to Germantown in the near
future to discuss some of the current Marshall Island problems
with members of your staff, In the meantime if I can be of
further help, let me know.
Sincerely,
Sf.
