Moreover, results will allow investigators to sub- stantiate and form judgments about the effect previous communications and contacts have had on Marshallese’ communities. To assist in integrating background information a chronology of events will be prepared beginning with the first énvironmental assessments conducted by DOE. tive records, Administra- trip reports, research reports and discussions with key federal representatives will serve as the resource for this effort. The chronology will include the number and nature of contacts with Marshallese made by federal represen- tatives including representatives of DOE, e.g., Brookhaven, Lawrence Livermore, and Narver; etc.; contract organizations; e.g., Holmes and trust territory representatives in Majur@, Saipan and Washington, D.C.
