Naidu to Burr 1. -3- February 6, 1978 His salary would be far greater than the average Marshallese, 2. the high salary paid to him would indicate to the Marshallese that he has been bought by us and will therefore always speak well of us. (d) This will not be the situation in case 1, in which we hire a Marshallese after Miss Craighead has run the program for a year and be gradually introduced into the program. Under the circumstances, the individual will not appear as someone who has been bought by us to speak well of our programs. It is, therefore, felt that we should try the first method on a trail basis for one year starting from March 1978 when Dr. Naidu goes to Utirik for six weeks. It is hoped that DOE can give this their support of our future success in the Marshall Islands. in view of the importance Sincerely, y Janakiram Naidu Ecologist 1m cc: V. P. Bond R. A. Conard N. A.
