Atomic Energy Commission P. O. Box 580 Honolulu, Hawaii 96809 Dear Bill: Enclosed is a letter from Elizabeth Farrington in regard to the surveys which I think should be helpful to us. I do not see any reason why the Bikini dispensary could not be used for whole body counting if there is enough space. It may be that I can find this out or perhaps you might wish to. I am also enclosing a copy of a letter from Billiet Edmond, school teacher at Rongelap, whose wife is here now being examined. He brings up the subject of care for transient Rongelap cases at Ebeye. You may have straightened this out by now. If not I think tha, it would be wise to make definite arrangements for these people in view of the feeling that apparently exists at Rongelap. I hope also that the Trust Territory will move these people back to their home island on the first available transportation, We plan on taking patients to Cleveland on Sunday for operations Monday and Tuesday. They will be back here later that week. We will probably hold them here until the latter part of the following week. I will of course let you know more specifically later. With best regards.
