To better assess the problems and to determine exactly what remaiiis to be done and who is responsible for funding and executing all or various s¢pments of future radiological surveys and monitoring, I fee} rw that an interagency meeting is essential. I therefore propose that kev personnel from each Department meet at Interior on June 25 at 2:00 PH, whereupon ERDA can set forth its ctroposed program along with support requirements. If arreement on buceeting and support commitments cannor be reached, we will at least be in a position to present the problenx te the Office of Manasement and Budset and saex further instructions. I am asking that this neeting be coordinated by the Director of Territorial Affairs. Brown at 343-4736. Star* contact can be made through Mr. , Harry U. We believe that the United States commitment under the Trusteeship Agreement recuires 4 strong reaffirmation by cll concerned agencics, to work together in carrying out a comprehensive progran, not only for Bikini or Enewetak, but all other involved areas in the Trust Territor, which were teuched by the lO-vear testing program.
