of the people to their Island. I am enclosing a copy of the “letter to the editor" on this subject by Tamplin. [I talked to Joe Deal at DOS this morning and he feels that we should make fairly extensive efforts to reassess the radiological status of Bikini Island, Should any of this materialize perhaps we should have a pre- liminary planning session at some time. In the meantime I would appreciate if you would try and collate and summarize che existing data on these Islands. Looking forward to hearing from you. With best regards. Sincerely, BAK Robert A.
