D. J. Brush, General Manager TRIP REPORT, MISSION NO. 4 June 11, 1979 Page 7 increase. The captain of the vessel must be well informed of all aspects of each mission well in advance of departure. It is recognized that the highest degree of flexibility must be maintained on each trip. However, this mission seemed to be "played by ear" with regard to starting time, working hours and ship sailing schedules. The high cost and tight schedules would seem to demand the maximum utilization of the time spent at each atoll. Too much time was lost in short work days because the people were not available. The people can surely be made to understand the :importance of their complete cooperation for their own benefit, and so the time of the medical team is not wasted. WMM: jhf Enclosures: As indicated
