January-February trip to Rongelap and Utirik was in question, at
which time the physicians committed themselves to other professional

Yesponsibilities.
As soon as we can obtain a firm commitment on the
use of that vessel, or any other vessel, for support of the medical
visits, Brookhaven will attempt to assemble a team of physicians to
participate in the visit. It requires approximately a three to six
month lead time, however, to accommodate the professional schedules
of these physicians.
Therefore, we regret to inform you that there will be some delay
before another medical visit can be scheduled to Rongelap and
Utirik Atolls. We are making every effort to resolve this matter
and to minimize any delay.
With belated best personal wishes and greetings for the New Year.
Sincerely,
. Bruce W. Wachholz, Ph.D.
