Dear John:
Enclosed is the tentative schedule for the coming
Rongelap trip.
The dates given are based around the
time the ship will be available.
Assuming thatair support from Kwajalein will be as
requested, I suggest that a short visit could be accomplished by meeting the UF-2 flight from Kwajalein to
Rongelap of August 25 and leaving Rongelap with the group
at Kabelle Islet on August 28,
This schedule would permit a brief visit of Rongelap
Islet,
including the main village, an overall view of the
lagoon from the air and from shipboard,
observation of
shipboard activities, and a good look at Kabelle Islet.
A more interesting and informative visit would .include
visiting Gejen,
map).
Naen,
and Lomuilal Islets
(see enclosed
This would require either a longer visit or a re-
quest for additional air support from Kwajalein.
We keep hoping that you might change your mind and
come to Rongelap in person, but we certainly will welcome
whomever you send.
On the chance that you might be subject to temptation,
Aad
Best regards,
