Files - 8 e2- January 16, 1968 The next morning, December 8, Mr. Libby picked me up at the hotel and took me to Capitol Hill where the Trust Territory Headquarters Offices are. The day was spent meeting and visiting the Trust Territory people who were members of the Survey Team and those furnishing support for the survey. Mr. Libby introduced me to the following Trust Territory personnel; Dr. W. M. Peck, Director of Public Health Service Department; Mr. Harold Bernshock, Administration Officer for Public Health; Mr. Lester Arentzen, Director of Finance; Mr. William Sturgill, Director of Supply; Mr. William RE. Norwood, High Commissioner; Dr. A, Hicking, Mr. Kosand Mizutoni. The discussions held with the above people were general and covered parts they played in participating in, and . * supporting the Blo-Med Survey. Dr. Peck (Dr. Luke Howe's replacement) stated that he hoped his schedule would allow hin to accompany and participate in the forthcoming survey. I had hoped to meet Mr. James Cook, Transportation Officer, but was advised that he had passed away and his replacement had not yet been moved. Mr. Norwood was extremely cordial and offered his assistance in assuring that I obtained the information and contacts I desired. He reiterated his particular interest in getting what information was available relative to the return of the natives to Bikini. I assured Mr. Norwood that when any information in this view was available, it would be passed on to him. He also asked if 1 had any information relative to Holmes & Narver hiring a token number of Ujelong natives as euployees at Eniwetok. I advised Mr. Horwood we had no contract relationship with the Holmes & Narver people at Eniwetok since the work there was under the Air Force, but I had heard that H&N personnel people were discussing the hiring of some of these natives with the home office in Los Angeles, so possibly something may come of the discussion. Mr, Libby was most hospitable and spent considerable time in giving me an orientation in the part the Trust Territory personnel played in the Blo-Med Survey. He amplified this data with considerable information of the Trust Territory and in particular the Marshall Islands. 20 ee es a, ns en aaa SURNAME p -_...-.. 0-0-2022 ee ee ee fe eee eee DATE P|... .------o--neve neneeeneb eee neeelecee eeeete ne [entsceeeeneceeenetanerilerenee Form AEC-818 (Rev. 9-53) U.S. GOVERNMENTPRINTING OFFICE : 1966—O-234-629 SER1 GR 3 ae
