XN Dr. John R. Totter 7 December 1971 ~2- Dr. Knudsen is a Norwegian citizen on an immigrant's visa. He expects to become a naturalized U. S. citizen within a few months. If you agree with this proposal, it is requested that the AEC obtain permission for Dr. Knudsen and his family to be housed at Kwajalein for a period of one year beginning about 1 July 1972, This should include the privilege for his children to attend school. Kwajalein is under the U. S. Army Safeguard Program at the Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama, If this proposal is approved it would be appreciated if arrangements could be completed prior to the next medical survey in March 1972 which would enable Drs. Conard and Knudsen to discuss arrangements while in the Islands. Approval of this proposal would increase the expenditure for the Marshallese project. During the year that Dr. Knudsen would be away would require the employment of a clinical research associate to work with Dr. Dahl. Whether additional funds would be required will depend upon the FY '73 budget for this Department. Sincerely yours, | 1/ Ya (Bed Eugene P, Cronkite, M. D. Chairman aw cc: Dr. V. P. Bond Dr. R. A.
