Marshallese:

Because of the discussion we had yesterday and the

information that was presented, one of the elements named was plutonium.
And, we would really like to know, is there any plutonium in the missiles

that come into the Kwajalein lagoon?

I really feel that we can now ask

things that we want to know and feel comfortable, we want to build on this
relationship of sharing information with each other.
you, what you know you tell us.

both sides.

What we know we tell

What we don't know we admit to that, on

So I am really thankful for the opportunity to ask this of you

and if you don't know the answer would you convey it where it should go, be

our voice in asking?

Is there any radioactive elements in the missiles

_that come into our lagoon that would be of harm to our fish or to the life
in the lagoon at Kwajalein?
Ray:

,

Again, I cannot answer with authority because I don't know what is in

every missile that comes into the Kwajalein lagoon.

I assure you that I

will carry that question to the Army and arrange that it be answered as
promptly as possible to the government of the Marshall Islands.
Marshallese:

I want to own, ask something and I want to own up to the fact

that I have no advanced degree.

I am not a doctor and so all the

explanations that are in the book I have something I want to ask with this
understanding.

In this publication, 8, 10 and 11, is all of this data

given on these pages, does this come from the U.S.S. Wheeling survey?

Robison:

Yes, everything presented in this booklet basically comes out of

or does come out of the Wheeling survey.

Marshallese:

Turtles and turtle eggs, regarding Mejit.

So since this

report definitely names some information regarding turtles and turtle eggs

from Mejit, I don't recall seeing a single turtle or any turtle eggs being
observed or gathered during the visit of the Wheeling so I am kind of
wondering why there is information here attributed to that survey.
