Memo re: Date: Presentation of Marshall Islands Radiation Education and Information Program to DOE & DOI December 12, 1980 Page 2 coincided with their absences, so we didn't have the benefit of their views. Mrs. Clusen was very pleased with our Program Plan and by Carl's presentation. Whether PNL will be asked to implement the plan depends upon: (1) DOI accepting the plan and sending it to Congress, (2) Congress appropriating funds, (3) DOI asking DOE to assure responsibility for the education program and (4) DOE turning to PNL. Carl Unruh, Irene Hays, Ray Baalman and Barbara Melber deserve special praise for the quality of their work and its timeliness and for their patience. We had a very short time to prepare the Program Plan and also had to make many modifications to accomodate all of the political considerations. I am especially appreciative of their efforts and also of the extraordinary effort of Connie Bennett in getting the numerous drafts of the plan typed and of Gene Wattenburger's staff in getting the viewgraphs prepared. A list of those attending the meeting at DOI is attached. WJB: 1m Attachment
