On January 10, CDR Wolff attended a meeting in DNA which was called
to discuss some of the interfaces between DOD and DOI regarding cleanup
and rehabilitation.
Included in the agenda were discussions on the
following:
(1)
DOI partially supporting the DNA contract with H&N to provide
rehabilitation-related estimates as well as cleanup-related
estimates;
(2)
DOI funding a portion of the DOD EIS, since this will probably
cover both cleanup and rehabilitation; and
(3)
A draft Air Force proposal that the atoll be returned to the
TTPI "as soon as the AEC surveys confirm that (some of) the
islands can safely sustain native habitation."’
This would be
a few months earlier than the December 1973 commitment made by
the High Commissioner and Ambassador to the Micronesian Status
Negotiations.
(4)
Tne status of PACE and other U. S. Government activities after
December 1975.
