Tear Jim:
This letter is to follow up on our telephone conversation c icerning the
schedule for the next LCU trip to Rongelap and Utirik, As I men._oned, I think
the seven days provided on the master schedule for this trip is insufficient to
accomplish my goals for the trip. Therefore, I would like to outline the
following revised schedule.
November 14.

Arrive Kwajalein
I would hope that this trip could be done in close cooperation with the
Trust Territory Department of Health Services in the Marshell Islands. Not
only will I be concerned with the general health care of the people of Utirik
and Rongelap, but would like to begin some regular health care clinics. On tiis
trip I think the initial clinics would be
Cervical Cancer Detection (Pap Smears),
Ve rereal Disease, Immunization, and Prenatal Care.
I will ask Tr. Ezra Riklon,
the District Director of Health Services at Majuro, to provide support for this
trip in the form of a Public Health Nurse and perhaps a laboratory technician.
The nurse's role is critical to provide discussions with the women about these
clinics and also to initiate discussions in family planning. The role of the
techician is less critical as I can perform his function if his support cannot
be provided. fr. Riklon has expressed a desire in the past to coordinate with
our trips th: delievery of health care to these outer islands. Similar work could
also be done at Bikini if the political climate is favorable,
If the scheduled LCU trip to Bikini is postponed because of the present
political situation and legal matters, I would like to delay my trip to Utirik
and Rongelap until the first two weeks of December
I will keep you informed of further details of this«trip.
Sincerely,
Konrad P, Kotrady, M.D.
