IN REVIEWING THE TAPE RECORDING OF OUR MEETING WITH
MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS AND OF THE NITIJELA AND
OTHER BIKINI LEADERSHIP AT MAJURO ON SEPTEMBER 2,
I FIND, AS WE DISCUSSED LATER, THAT I DID NOT SUGGEST
ANY RESTRICTIONS ON ENYU GROUND WATER. BY THIS
MESSAGE I MEAN TO FORMALLY CORRECT THAT RECORD.
IN FACE, WE DO NOT AT THIS TIME HAVE SUFFICIENT
INFORMATION TO PERMIT AN UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF
ENYU GROUND WATER, BASED UPON SOIL LEVELS AT ENYU AND
THE EXPECTED LOW LEVELS IN FOOD GROWN ON ENYU WE FULLY
EXPECT THAT FROM A RADIATION STANDPOINT THERE WILL BE NO
REASON TO RESTRICT OR LIMIT THE USE OF ENYU GROUND WATER.

HOWEVER, TO BE CONFIDENT THAT OUR RECOMMENDATION WILL
STAND, WE MUST WITHHOLD A RELEASE UNTIL RESULTS OF LABORATORY
ANALYSIS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE ASKED THAT THIS PART OF THE
LABORATORY EFFORT BE GIVEN FIRST PRIORITY, AND EXPECT TO
BE ABLE TO REPORT RESULTS TO YOU BY EARLY OCTOBER.
WE ALSO EXPECT FROM TIME TO TIME TO TAKE ADDITIONAL WATER
SAMPLES, ESPECIALLY AS NEW WELLS ARE OPENED.
THIS CORRECTION WILL BE INCORPORATED IN THE TRANSCRIPT OF
THE SEPTEMBER 2 MEETING, COPIES OF WHICH WILL BE MAILED TO
YOU FOR DISTRIBUTION, END
