Trip Report -28~ CONCLUSIONS From all indications the trip was virtually a 100% success from the medical mission point of view. It was the first time in two years that x-rays were taken, In spite of the very strained personal relationships the logistics support afforded by U.S. Oceanography was outstanding. Time constraints from the time the contract was let until the sailing date did not allow for everything being done that was planned but with steps taken (see Recommendations) to correct a few deficiencies, future trips will be even better. The Base Commander and his staff, and the Base support contractor, Global Associates provided DOE with excellent support. ae rh or an cm ari The people of Rongelap and Utirik as well as those I met on Ebeye were generally cooperative in spite of the many problems which understandably have occurred over the years, They appreciated having a DOE representative available to address their questions. A good relationship seems to exist between the effected people and BNL but in the past this relationship has proven fragile. The body of the report and recommendations suggest potential problem areas and at least some steps which can be taken to provide a better service.
