Kohn Testimony (4.19.89, 4.20.89) Page 2 In addition, although other islands in the Atoll are outside the assigned scope of this project, I have taken the liberty of emphasizing that studies and planning for them be kept quite separate from those for Rongelap Island itself, so that return to Rongelap Island will not be delayed. An additional project would center on several larger islands which were more heavily contaminated than Rongelap Island, but which are not customarily inhabited. There are, of course, many smaller islands, but these are of secondary interest since they preumably lack water and have never been a significant source of food. 7 / / L Krhe liput u,144f Copies of this testimony for the hearings of April 19 & 20, 1989, have been sent to: (1} Ms. Kathy Johnson, Staff, House Appropriations Subcommittee (2) Ms. Sue Masica, Staff, Senate Committee on Appropriation {Interior Subcommittee), 825 Senate Office Building, Washington DC 20510 (3) Mr. Allen Staymen, Staff, Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Washington DC 20510 on Interior, B-308 Rayburn Office Building, Washington DC 20515 —4485000103
