Upton, NewYork 11973 Medical Department Aaazy ly (516) 345-3577 November 29, 1977 Dr. Walter Weyzen Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research Department of Energy Washington, D.C. 20545 Dear Walter, Enclosed is a suggested extension of our DOE-TT Agreement regarding the Medical Program in the Marshall Islands. The previous agreement of last February (copy enclosed) was only for this calendar year. You will note that the present agreement would include responsibilities of our personnel at Ebeye and Majuro. With regard to the legalities of medical care I suppose we are responsible for Rongelap, Utirik and Bikini while TT is responsible elsewhere. As you know PL 5-52 and the TT agreement of December 1974 (copies enclosed) are in disagreement and has been the cause of considerable dissatisfaction among the Marshallese. I suggest we get together with Mr. Winkel and come up with something agreeable to all including Congressmen Balos and Heine. I believe Congress of Micronesia is out of the picture at this point. Perhaps we might arrange a meeting with Winkel when he next comes to Washington. Sincerely, _Bbh Robert A.
