Stanley, Director U.S. Department of Energy Pacific Area Support Office P. O. Box 29939 Honolulu, Hawaii 96820 Dear Bill, With regard to our forthcoming medical survey I would like to provide you with the following information concerning personnel and travel arrange- ments and also to request certain support from your office. As we discussed at Livermore, I am funneling all requests for either DOE, TT or Missle Range Support through your office. The only exception is that I have requested Peter Heotis to go down to Majuro this week to line up the TT personnel that’ I hope will be able to participate. I think this can be best accomplished by first hand discussions. Peter will also make our hotel and auto rental reservations while he is in Majuro. As you will note from the survey schedule (Enclosure #1) we plan to Start examinations at Majuro on Monday, September 10th. I would like to have a DOE representative join us for the full course of the survey. This is essential because the majority of the questions asked at these village meetings are of a non-medical nature and therefore can be better fielded by someone from your office. JI plan to meet with the people at each island we visit prior to the exams to outline the type of exam we will be offering and the reason for these exams. The meeting at Rongelap and Utirik offer no scheduling problems but the meeting I would like to hold on Majuro and Ebeye will require your help and the help of TT officials at these islands. An announcement could be made by radio stating the time and place of each meeting. Sunday afternoon or evening, September 9th at Majuro, and Sunday afternoon or evening, Sept. 16th at Ebeye, would allow us to talk with the people before the exams commence. At Majuro arrangements to bring the Bikini people living on Ejit over to Majuro both for the meeting and for exams during the week will require the help of Oscar deBrum. We would welcome all Rongelap, Utirik and Bikini people to these meetings. In addition, the islands of Rongelap and Utirik should be notified of our planned arrival date. During our stay in Majuro we will be able to perform 100 adult physical exams. These will include the following groups in this priority: 1. Rongelap and Utirik, exposed who have not had a full exam in January or May (Enclosure #4). } me: 5011884
