-5Q.

(An exchange of words with the Magistrate wherein he was trying to help to develop the explanation.)

A.

It can be compared with a camera that takes pictures from
a long distance - a telescope camera.
By being high above
the ground it can measure a whole island rather than just
what can be seen from on the ground.

"We expect to be here several more times before we leave and
perhaps it is easier to ask questions individuall or in
small groups; we welcome that any time when we are on the
island."
Q.

The north and western islands, where we would like to get
food.
We need to know as soon as possible the results
of the survey.
In years past these islands were important
food sources.
We want you to expedite the results of the
survey of the northern islands.

A.

Yes, I understand, and we will do that. We intend to give
the first attention-.- earliest attention - to atolls such
as this, where people do have questions about their food.

At this point, Dr. Grant was introduced.

He extended brief

greetings from Drs. Knudsen and Conard.
He then discussed his
plans for a medical visit on Rongelap and the plans of Frank
Cogswell for his parasite eradication program.

Jan Naidu was introduced and he briefly described the visit he
and Evelyn would make.
Another question period ensued.
Q.

We understand that some of the helicopters will land but
some will not dand.
What is the difference?

A.

The helicopters that land will be to put men down to do
work on the islands.
The helicopter itself will not be

making radiation measurements on the ground.
Q.

We expect this afternoon that the helicopter may come and
take some of us back to the ship.
We hope to talk to
the magistrate later after this meeting and find out where
the helicopter may land.

Q.

We thank you for all the words you have said and we understand that you will send some information and advice to us
later.
We thank you for all the information you have
given us,
but request that you show us a movie (much
Jaughter}.
Thank you.
