The following arrangements were agreed to:
a.
ERDA will invite TTPI medical personnel (e.g., medical officer, nurses,
health aides,
technicians) to participate in the ERDA medical visits in
order to facilitate expanded programs such as well baby clinics,
family
planning, ete., and will assist with logistic support of these activities.
For the next four quarterly visits,
one health assistant,
the TT will provide one medical officer,
and up to two additional medical personnel,
as needed.
Travel, per diem and subsistence will by paid by ERDA; salaries will be paid
by TTPI.
b.
ERDA will assist in arranging for additional US medical doctors to partic-
ipate in the medical team visits, as may be required to assist the TTPI in
providing general medical care to the people living on Rongelap and Utirik.
For the next spring survey (March, 1977), ERDA will make every effort to
provide, and will fund if necessary, two additional physicians.

its medical team visits to Rongelap and Utirik to accommodate the needs of
the Trust Territory medical program.

for the next spring visit,
it is expected that duration of stay of the medical team will be extended
by two to three days.

The medical teams, while at the islands, will extend medical care and
oceny
treatment equally to all those living on the two islands.
