it now stands.

Attention is given to both short and long range economic
planning

(Vol.

I, § 7, Vol. II, Tab D), but in consultation with

tne people themselves specific objectives and specific econemic
A-velorment possibilities must be found so that the shared aim cf
economic seif-sufficiency can be.achieved.

We realize that with

all the cther aspects of this complex project demanding attention
up to now, this was not intentionally underemphasized.

But as

the program moves into its clean-up phase nore attention must be
given to meeting the future economic needs otf the people.

This

is especially true because since the writing of the DEIS it has
become known that adverse radiological conditicns in the northern
part of the Atoll do not permit the rehabitation of Engebi islet
and severely if not completely restrict the use of the northern
islets for the foreseeable future.
The Enewetak Planning Council must continue to be relied upon
to make the final value judgments upon one proposal or another
and upon the development of the economy as a whole so that it will
be consonant with their own capabilities and values,

but one or

more specialists ‘Should be engaged by the government and made
available in an advisory capacity.

They must he carefully selected

both in terms of expertise in the field and suitability tm this
kind of cross-cultural task and to the maximum feasible extent
the Planning Council should participate in the selection.
Resettlement to Enewetak Atoll from Ujelang will involve an
unusual amount of stréss for individual members of the group and

.for the group .as a whole.
