October 24 was also a holiday, United Nations Day. We contacted
John Iman who advised that Elejo Elanjo was the Senior Health Aide

that was chosen for Conard's program.

I outlined to John the method

we proposed to make reimbursement to the T, T. for Elanjo's services
and suggested the arrangements be made effective January 1, 197¢.

This was all right with John.

This arrangement and the financial

matters would be discussed and finalized with T. T. Headquarters at

Saipan.

We heard that an Army plane from Kwajalein was making an unscheduled
stop at Majuro. Since our business on Majuro was most completed,
and we still had some details to work out at Kwajalein, we managed
to get seating on the plane.

We departed Majuro at 3:30 p.m.,

October 24, and arrived Kwajalein at 5:20 p.m., October 23.

Part of Saturday, October 24, was spent with Frank Granich of Global

Associates and Murph Ownby of T. T. in detailing the arrangement for
loading and shipping the items supporting the Rongelap survey.
The
need for a place for the survey team to conduct their examination

on Ebeye was discussed.

Due to overcrowded conditions on Ebeye,

the T. T. this year cannot furnish a facility for examinations.

We asked Granich if a trailer could be loaned from Kwajalein for

the purpose.
However, nothing was available.
I stated that when
I returned to Honolulu I would determine if a trailer could be made

available from the AEC assets and, if so, would arrange to have it
transferred to Conard's program and ship it to Kwajalein for final
location on Ebeye. The T. T. said they would give us space and
utility hook-ups for the trailer location. Granich advised they
could move the trailer from Kwajalein to Ebeye and assist in set-

ting it up.

Conard and I departed Kwajalein at 12:35 p. m., October 25, and with
intermediate stops at Ponape, Turk and Guam and arrived at Saipan

4:30 p.m., October 26,

October 27, Conard and I went to T. T. Headquarters and met with
Dr. Peck, head of the T, T. Medical Department, where we discussed
the survey program and the part the T, T. would play in supporting

the survey.

In the afternoon, we met with Peter Coleman, Deputy

High Commissioner, Dwight Hiene, Special Assistant to the High
