Dear Dr. Yarbro:

During the interval October 18 to November 8, 1974, inclusive,
staff members of PRNC are scheduled to conduct a resurvey at Bikini
Atol?, Marshall Islands as a part of our Bikini Project. According
to our present plans the following PRNC men will carry out this work:
Frank George Lowman
Seppo Kolehmainen
José Angel Rivera Colén
Michael Eugene Lowman
All of these men participated in the last Bikini survey carried
out by PRNC.
On or about flonday, October 14, 1974, the above-named men should
depart by plane from Hickam AFB, Honolulu, Hawaii for Kwajalein,
Marshall Islands.

to Bikini Atoll].

At Kwajalein they will board a chartered aircraft

It will not be necessary for them to go to Eniwetok

Atoll at any time during the trip.

,

During the last Bikini Survey we were required to obtain security
clearance since we entered Kwajalein and went into Eniwetok Atoll. If
security clearance is required we may have some problems. Dr. Seppo
Kolehmainen is not a U.S. citizen, but rather, is a citizen of Finland.
Therefore, I believe that he cannot’ be given security clearance. We
were able to take him on the last survey since we had our own ship.
We would like to learn what arrangements, if any, can be made for
Dr. Kolehmainen to fly from Hickam to Kwajalein, stay there on in-transit
status, fly on to Bikini and return. At Kwajalein he would be accompanied
by another member with security clearance at all times.
