e3- Honorable Olympio T. Borja Your information as to the relationship of Dr. Conard and the Brookhaven team to AEC fe correct. Dr. Conard is neither an employee nor an official representative of AEC. In view of the desire of the inhabitants of the Islands to communicate with an AEC representative, I will suggest that either Mr. Streenan or another representative accompany Dr. Conard's team during the next medical survey. With regard to your request for information or advice, please let me reassure you that AEC staff will cooperate with your Special Committees to the extent of their capabilities. I regret the delay in this reply and trust that I have clarified our position on these matters of mutual interest. Sincerely, Sig- . C. E. Larson Clarence E. Larson Acting Chairman ccs Mr. 8. 8.
