People of Utirik - victims of atomic radiation
Sirs;
This office has just received a communication from
our clients on Utirik Atoll indicating that they were
not visited by the ERDA Quarterly Medical Survey Team
during the June or September
scheduled surveys.
Neither the people of Utirik,
nor this office were
given any notice or reasons for cancellation of these
visits.
After the extreme hardships that these people
have already incurred over the past 23 years, this kind
of omission is astonishing. This office demands an ex-
planation for the cancellation of the June and September
surveys.
The people of Utirik desperately need these medical
surveys. During the March survey, four more residents dis-~played symptoms of thyroid tumors. This office is quite
nerositony DOE-LOLLESTAL
