Ray:

Well, I think the answer is clearly, yes you can.

But if there are

substitute locations, substitute sources which would have Tower radiation
Tevels we would recommend that those be used.

Senator John:

Well, thanks, I'm, I'm glad to hear that, that we can use

those breadfruit from Enjebi.

But it seems funny that you add a "but"

right away as soon as you say that, when in actuality we've had a storm hit

us and we only have very young trees planted on other islands in the atoll
and, even though they weren't full grown, they had produced some
breadfruit, sort of out on their trunks almost, not even on the ends of the

limbs where they usually appear.

Well, that choice isn't there, but we do have those breadfruit

That's correct.

Robison:

I would like Bill Robison to comment on that.

Yes, Senator, we planted the breadfruit and pandanas and coconut

trees on Enjebi, as you know, as part of our program in order to better

evaluate Enjebi Island.

As you know there were no foods available for us

to directly measure and we had to predict what we thought the concentration

would be in food products at Enjebi by knowing what was in the soil.

So we

planted the crops, so that we would have samples to directly measure and,
therefore, we could make a much more precise estimate of the doses on
Enjebi.

And therefore, we need those for samples, and it takes quite a

number of breadfruit and quite a number of pandanas fruit and a quite a
number of coconut in order for us to be able to make the analysis we need.

So we planted those for a purpose and we do need them for a purpose.
not, we do not need them all but we do need...
