Gentlemen:
With reference to your inquiry to Dr. Knudson and the meeting at
Majuro with Bill Streenan, Dr. Knudson,
Dr. Riklon and yourself
aswhen san emiaprar ase tran
relative to the payment of costs for travel of the exposed Marshallese,
the following sets out our understandings of the funding question:
1,
My letter dated February 26, 1973 to the High Commissioner
relates to this question and is quoted in part for your informa-
tion - "If, as a result of the surveys and as determined by
saa ten
Dr. Gonard, it becomes necessary to transport any of the
surveyed Marshallese patients to the United States for further
a
medical treatment, the AEG will fund and pay to the Trust
Territory the costs of the patients travel and per diem (at the
Trust Territory established rate) from their home island to
Kwajalein, and their return from Kwajalein to their home
island. These travel and per diem costs will also be allowed
for an interpreter accompanying the patients. For the paticnt'e
and interpreter's trip from Kwajalein to the United States and
return to Kwajalein, the AEC will fund for and provide all
transportation, suitable clothing for the colder climate, food,
lodging and miscellaneous travel expenses."
