Kohn Testimony

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.
