The determination as to when the DOD cleanup activities

have been successfully completed will be a joint DNA/ERDA decision.

When

etermination has been made that the DNA cleanup phase is complete or
upon transfer of the base support activity to another agency, whichever
comes first, DNA support responsibilities on Enewetak will terminate and
continued support for ERDA and DNA activities must.- then be obtained from
other SOUTCCS,

Thus, the long-term radiological surveillance and necessary

actions by both agencies deriving therefrom must, be the subject of subSequent aprecnicnts,
