1. ERDA believes the radiological surveys thus far performed at Bikini Atoll are inadequate and that an adequate radiological survey of the entire northern Marshalls is indicated, utilizing helicopters. The materials at the Washington meeting’ distributed by ERDA and attached hereto support this conclusion unequivocably. 2. ERDA believes, notwithstanding the fact that it has done only preliminary and admittedly inadequate radiological surveying, that under certain conditions, summarized in the materials attached hereto, permanent residence by the Bikini People on Bikini Island is practical and acceptable from a standpoint of exposure to radiation. Affiant, after review of... all of the materials available to him, which constitute ay of the materials available to any person whose only LSS is Marshallese and some materials available only in English, disagrees with ERDA's conclusion that permanent residence on Bikini Island, subject to written restrictions, is an acceptable risk at the present time. Affiant hopes that a conclusion along those lines can be reasonably drawn after complete radiological survey of the Northern Marshalls. However, Affiant does not believe such a conclusion can be drawn at the present time on the basis of information now available. 3. The Department of the Interior is apparently in agreement with Affiant, as it has taken the position since late August, 1975, after the August 12, 1975 Livermore, California meeting that the Bikini Resettlement must be halted pending completion of a complete radiological survey. 50521649 72- /
