Ezra is ll - 18 but expects to be back Ezra Riklon on Ebeye and I think we are now plans for movement of the Marshallese patients attending a mecting in New Caladonia August by 25 August. Four of the five patients are already at Ebeye and the fifth (Betty) from Rongelap is expected soon. would I like for the patients to be put on the Mac flight of Tuesday, August 26 if that can be arranged. I hope Bill Streenan will meet the flight in Honolulu and put them on the flight to New York the following day. Would you arrange to get the patients from Ebeye to Kwajalein during the week August 18 - 23 and purchase necessary clothing for them as you have done in the past. Also arrange for their Mac transportation. By copy of this letter I ask AEC Honolulu to send you the necessary authorization. Also by copies of this letter I ask DISTAD Marshalls and Mr. Ownby to make any necessary Trust Territory arrangements. Following are the names of the Marshallese patients: > . , (from Utirik), : Ic is requested that Murph Ownby verify the last names of these cases and send them to AEC Honolulu. 5 ; i: I am asking Ezra to stop the thyroid medication on , > and .
