The Bikini data, I am sure, has added importance in view
of the reanests for information from the Micronesian legal
people and we shall try and prepare more detailed reports as
soon as possible.
Tne three new Rongelap people with thyroid nodules (two
exposed and one control) will be brought to Brookhaven the last
of this menth for complete studies and possible surgery in Cleveland in early July.
I shall probably plan a trip to Germantown in the near
future to discuss sone of the current Marshall Island problems
with members of your staff.
In the meantime if I can be of
further help, let me know,
Sincerely,
