Liverman, Director EO Tob * Division of Biomedical and Environmen nx U. S. Atomic Energy Commission ) wetee Washington, D. C. 20240 Folder ee Dear Dr. _ J 2.3 al 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. RAC/es ic = eo —. Robert A, Conard, M. D. Enc, .. Se a ~~ [do banh aio ival GaiilL - os Lo +4 ~ tae INFORMATION OPERATOR [516] 345-2123 LF ]
