January-February trip to Rongelap and Utirik was in question, at which time the physicians committed themselves to other professional ! STH . 2 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.
