ARLA CODE 5I6 YAPHANK 4.6262 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT ° April 22, 1966 Honorable Wilfred Goding High Commissioner Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands Saipan, Mariana Islands Dear Mr. Goding: I have just received your cable stating that three of the five Rongelap patients could not be removed until there is a field trip to Rongelap in May. If there should be a ship going to Rongelap before the scheduled field trip, it would be appreciated if you could arrange the transfer of these three people at that time, I have to participate in several meetings in Europe and will leave about the middle of June. I would certainly like to complete the medical work on these pcople here prior to my departure. I will appreciate your help in this matter. Sincerely yours, 24 ‘4 eT Ge é cer whe Robert A.
