Mr. Shoecraf stated to his knowledge there was no existing agreement for this support and that one would have to be drawn-up.

We

dictated the agreement, which provided for handling patients, transportation and other matters.
Contracting Officer.

It was typed and signed by Mr. Sureen,

The agreement between T.T. and AEC provides

for general support required and the H&N purchase order will describe

the mechanics and flow of paperwork.

We discussed the problem of land rentals with Mr. Shoecraf.,

He

showed us letters he had written over the years trying to get DASA
to return the land to the people.

Each time his request was denied.

On August 16, 1963, a letter was received by the High Commissioner
authorizing the transfer of structures to the T,T, but retaining the

rights to the sites,

It could not be determined whether or not the

property for which annual rent was being paid was the same sites
occupied by Dr. Conard.

We were told the last total annual billing

for land rental was $418.50 from DASA.

The agreement T.T, had

with DASA is different than the one sent to us by NVO.

It was de-

cided we would forward the billing we have to DASA and try to get
permission to return all sites except those required by Dr. Conard.
The T,T. has done nothing about their authority to remove structures.
