Memo to File
-2-
We told him the survey was designed to provide data that will permit dose
estimates for future populations and that one can make risk estimates if
the dose is known.
I noted we did not expect a documented result until
the middle of CY 1979. We were questioned about the current costs and our
best guess about future costs.
I noted that the Department was currently
spending about $3M in the Pacific now, and that the best estimate we could
make was $2 to $5M per year for the foreseeable future.
This is for the
research program, the monitoring program, and the associated logistics.
We did not comment on the suggestion about including the long-term followup
program in the status negotiations.
