Dear Mr. Norwood:
2,
BEST COPY AVAILABLE
Your hospitality and the cooperation of your staff during the recent
visit of Dr, Conard and Mr, Rasmussen is very much appreciated.
They have reported that due te the assiatance of your personnel at
Saipan, Majure, Kwajalein and Rongelap that their mission of exam-
ining patients and establishing procedures for support was success fully accomplished,
Under separate cover, we are mailing the film "Return to Bikini"
as Mr, Reamusesen promised. Please return the film to this office
ae soon as you sre finished with it. There is quite a demand for it
in this area. You may want Dwight Heine to see the film. If ao, he
can return it from Majureo. We are proceeding to research the
question you asked as to when Bikini can be returned te the people.
We will also attempt to determine the states of the scrap veasels you
discussed with Mr. Rasmussen.
We believe the recent visit was very beneficial in that important contacts
were made to facilitate the annual medical surveys and the movement
of patients, We etill may have a transportation problem. We are
fully aware that this is an acute problem throughout the Trust Territory
and not unique to our program. There is particular concern over the
movement of patients when necessary for treatment. As you ere well
aware, the conditions on Ebeye are not the best and it seems we are
headed toward a aituation where the patients will refuse te be moved for
