Mr. William Bonnet
Manager

Honolulu Area Office
Atomic Energy Commission
Honolulu, Hawaii
Dear Mr.

Bonnet:

As a sequel to our now widely publicized expedition to Bikini, we
are attempting to put together reports and data which can provide
the basis for a meaningful and realistic redevelopment progran.
As you probably are aware, two representatives of the Atomic Energy
Commission were members of the Bikini party.
They were Lt. Col.
A. A. Gomes, Headquarters AEC DMA Test Office, Washington, and Tom
McCraw, also of the Washington office.
The purpose of their participation was primarily to identify objects and areas containing
residual contamination.
We have yet to determine the magnitude of
the task confronting us to clear the areas for redevelopment.
It
would be helpful if we could obtain from you, or from some other
AEC office, maps, charts or drawings showing the location and
design of various facilities which were constructed by the AEC and/
or Holmes & Narver in the Bikini atoll area,
I am enclosing a copy
of a letter I have written to Holmes & Narver on this subject.
es

I shall be passing through Honolulu some time toward the end of
October and hope to have the opportunity to discuss this matter
with you, if you are available at that time.
Sincerely yours,

TERpiivarekR
