Atomic Energy Commission l. The Committee recommended that the AEC find another doctor to replace Dr. Knudsen, We made this recommendation both to insure better care for the people of Rongelap and Utirik, and also to help take some of the worry away from their minds because they would know that medical assistance would be available to them when the doctor comes on the field trip ship. The AEC and Dr. Conard, and Dr. Kumangai of the Trust Territory have all promised to find another doctor when Dr. Knudsen leaves Micronesia. 2. The Committee also recommended, because two doctors, Dr. Kimatori and Dr. Cole from the United States also recommended it, that a hospital ship should visit the islands regularly. We understand from Dr. Conard that the Army will make available a ICU for surveys of Ronge lap and Utirik for the 1974 examination, and also for other trips to Rongelap and Utirik during the year. 3. We recommended that the AEC provide extra money to the Trust Territory for any extra rooms or equipment for the Majuro and Ebeye hospitals. We have found that this is not necessary and that the AEC has provided @ new trailer at the Majuro hospital which will help with the examinations. 4. We recommended that the AEC give Dr. Conard more money to help make his annual examinations. Dr. Conard has replied that he has enough money, however, it looks like because of extra examinations and for other reasons, that the AEC will be LN ICM spending more money for the surveys.
