This paragraph contains erroneous conclusions.

The

August 1975 reports referenced in paragraph 79 did not
recommend against use of permanent residences on Bikini
Island.

Rather, the preliminary report entitled ''Radiological

Evaluation of Phase Il Housing Construction, Bikini AtollAugust 1975,'' page 8, contains a summary of conclusions
regarding six different cases of assumed living patters
and remedial measures.

The report states, ''Case 2 appears

to offer the best compromise if the restrictions are
acceptable to the people.''

Case 2 is defined in Table }

of the report as follows:

DOE ARCHIVES

"Case 2 - Limited use of Bikini Island with residence
in houses already constructed.

No additional house

construction on Bikini Istand for the present.
use of food grown on Bikini

No

Island for the present
