Mr. Nick Cc. Aquilina
Manager

Department of Energy

Nevada Operations Office

P. O. Box 98518
Las Vegas, Nevada 89193-86518

Dear Mr. Aquilina:
I am concerned by your November 1 response to my letter of
October 5 to Harry Brown and ask that you review my request as

soon as possible.

The Subcommittee's ongoing investigation suggests that DOE's
study requested in my letter was part of the survey managed by
DOE's Nevada Operations Office and described in the "Operaticns
Plan -- Northern Marshall Islands Radiclogical Survey" that was
signed by Mahlon E. Gates.
I do not find it reassuring that a copy cannot be lecated.
It
would be most disconcerting to learn that your office does not
have a copy of this study given the importance and sensitivity of
this matter.
It would raise a question abcut whether this
information has been destroyed or nislaid.
Would you therefore please:

~-- immediately ascertain that the integrity of this study
has not been compromised;

;

-- identify the individual who prepared the study; and
~- provide the Subcommittee with a copy of the study.
A response no later than November 30 would be very nuch
appreciated.
