LEASE AGREEMENT - MEDICAL EXAMINATION FACILITY
BIKINI ISLAND
Dear Mr. Hefner:
Ag you may know, we are constructing a Medical Examination
Facility in an existing bunker known as Station 6002 on the
Island of Bikini.
Like the facilities at Rongelap and Utirik,
thie facility will be used during the annual medical surveys by
Dr. Robert A. Conmard’s medical team to conduct urine exarminations and checkups for the Bikini people. To inform the
Bikini people, Dr. Conard explained the purpose of the facility
Elaz2cgs
to them when he visited Kill in February 1969.
Ae in the case of our utilisation of certain areas on Rongelap and
Utirik, it would be appreciated if you would make similar arrange-
mente with the Bikini landowners permitting the AEC to use the
area upon which the facility (Bunker Station 6002) is located. The
effective date of the lease agreement should be July 1, 1969, and
like the others, be for a period of twenty-five (25) years. It te
also suggested that the per annum rental rate be consistent with
me
those established for Rongelap and Utirik.
