The Honorable William R. Norwood ~2- November 8, 1968 opacities of the lens may participate. Also from Brookhaven National Laboratory Dr. Demoise, Messrs. Bill Scott, Doug Clareus and Mike Makar are participating. Schedule, A separate suggested tentative schedule is attached. If the proposed time of the survey is not satisfactory it would be appreciated if I were notified as early as possible since some of our participating personnel must make plans well in advance in order to arrange busy schedules. It would not seem necessary for the Trust Territory ship to remain at Rongelap for the 11-12 days of the survey but could leave, returning at the end of the survey to take the team to Utirik. It is requested however that the ship be allowed to remain at Utirik during the 4 days of the survey since we would probably wish to live on the ship. Arrangements have been made to collect 25 urine samples from Bikini people on Kili as a base line check on their body burdens of radioactive .elements. On completion of the Majuro part of the examinations it would be desirable to have the ship stop at Kili in order that these samples might be collected and I might: have an opportunity to explain to the people what we are doing. We are most grateful for the fine spirit of cooperation and coordination on the part of the Trust Territory in carrying out these surveys. Most sincerely, Robert A.
