placed on land, in craters and in the lagoon.

The guidelines for

radiological cleanup recommended by AEC/ERDA are based on Federal
Standards, and are designed to provide the lowest practicable radiation

Accordingly, it is the purpose of the Defense Nuclear Agency, hereinafter

Administration, hereinafter referred to as "ERDA,'' as represented by
the Assistant Administrator for Environment and Safety, to enter into

this agreement to define the technical support ERDA is to provide DNA
and likewise to define the support DNA is to provide ERDA and its contractors during the time DNA is actively engaged in cleanup operations

at Enewetak Atoll.

The determination as to when the DOD cleanup activities.

have been successfully completed will be a joint DNA/ERDA decision.

When

determination has been made that the DNA cleanup phase is complete or
upon transfer of the base support activity to another agency, whichever
comes first, DNA support responsibilities on Enewetak will terminate and
continued support for ERDA and DNA activities must then be obtained from
other sources.

Thus, the long-term radiological surveillance and necessary

actions by both agencies deriving therefrom must be the subject of subsequent agreements.

The obligations assumed by either party under the terms of this agreement
are contingent upon the funding of the proposed cleanup project by the
Congress.

If no funds are made available or funds should cease to be
