fC UE . Lt. General Carroll H. Dunn ~4- we should not solicit or officially entertain outside comments on the "draft final." This procedure would still allow DNA to establish a history of complete cooperation and openness with the Eniwetok Council. As a general comment the AEC suggests that it might be extremely difficult to produce a single environmental impact statement which includes all of the measures for restoration of Eniwetok Atoll. The problem is that to some extent the start of cleanup and the start of rehabilitation are two sequential actions which may be separated by a considerable span of time. At that point in time when it will be logical to proceed with the cleanup operation, it may be impossible to predict in an environmental impact statement what rehabilitation actions could or should be accomplished. Hence, it would seem desirable to retain the flexibility to use more than one environmental impact statement for compliance with NEPA. The AEC point of contact for participation in preparing the environmental statement on Eniwetok restoration will be Gordon C. Facer, telephone 973-3011. We look forward to being of assistance in this urgent matter. Sincerely, (signed) ; ¥. C Gilbert fort} Frank A. Camm Major General, USA Assistant General Manager for Military Application bec: J.
