Dear Dr. Biles:
Thank you for the latest version of the Task Group report for Enewetak
Atoll. We found that although the Enjibe situation was more fully
discussed and various options were explored, the recommendations have
not substantially changed from your report of February 1, 1974,
Although we are disappointed that the return to Enjibe appears to
be postponed for an undetermined time, we defer to the technical
experts as to the safety aspects,
We lock forward to a final report and recommendations from the Atomic
Energy Commission along with an Environmental Impact Statement which
will enable the Defense Nuclear Agency, Department of the Interior,
and Atomic Energy Commission to undertake the cleanup, rehabilitation
and resettlement before too much more time passes,
I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the
Task Group and advisors for their diligent efforts put forth on this
project.
Sincerely yours,~~
