BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES, INC. UPTON, L.I.. N.Y. TEL. Dr. Charles L, Dunham YAPHANK REFER 4-6262 -=2- July 7, 1961 I have no objection to the ecological surveys being carried out along with the medical surveys. However, remember we plan on living on Rongelap Island for the period of the surveys and will therefore have no transportation available for the. ecological survey team, I have discussed with Dr. Farr all of these recent developments and he concurs in the action taken; he feels that later on, perhaps in the Fall, that it would be wise for me to visit the Trust Territory to make definitive arrangements for the 1962 survey. Sincerely, Bet Robert A. Conard, M. D. Medical Research Center RAC sag cc: Dr. Lee E. Farr, Medical Director, Brookhaven Nat'l. Lab'y. Dr. H.D.Bruner, Asst.
