Dear Jim,

Enclosed are two suggested statements in response to letters
from the Rongelap and Utirik people.
It is my understanding that
these statements were to be submitted by you to Mr. Oscar DeBrun,

District Administrator, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands,
Majuro, Marshall Islands, to be transmitted to the people of the
two atolls as he sees fit.

On our annual medical survey to begin next week I would like
to inform the people of the two atolls that their letters are being
answered by ERDA directly to Mr. DeBrum.
Sincerely,

oD
