Miltenberger to Stanley “37 September 19, 1979 In addition to his functions as spokesperson and disbursement officer for medical related subsistence claims, Harry Brown contributed to our program in many ways. First, prior to August 16, he had engaged the services of Reynold Debrum as intepreter during the Rongelap and Utirik segments of our trip. Reynold was very helpful because of his personality, his understanding of our program and his status as an official representative of the Marshall Islands government. Secondly, Harry assisted us by working diligently on each island seeking persons participating in the BNL whole body counting-bioassay program. Thanks to his efforts, every possible attempt was made to meet our program requirements. We greatly appreciated the skill and assistance rendered to us by Harry Brown. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the outstanding cooperation and assistance that we received from the Liktanur II management and crew. While in Kwajalein, the crew helped us to initiate our biocassay-whole body counting program by constructing a gangplank for safe entry to the ship from Echo Pier and assisting in the construction of the whole body counter. While in the field, the crew transported persons to and from the ship, erected a canopy over the exterior waiting area, provided food and beverages to the Marshallese as they waited to be whole body counted, and performed countless tasks which allowed our work to progress quickly and efficiently. A special note of gratitude is due Mr. Otterman. Chuck spent the better part of two days working with us to define an electronic problem with our a.c. line conditioner. The line conditioner could not be fixed aboard ship; consequently, we had to regulate manually the ship's power by turning off the below deck air conditioners in order to minimize voltage fluctuations. In addition, Chuck spent considerable time on shore at each island trying to find persons to participate in the bioassay-whole body counting program. For all his efforts and those of the crew, we are deeply appreciative. This concludes the report on activities during R. V. Liktanur II Voyage No. 7. We believe that the trip was very successful and that the interactions between persons from BNL, PASO and the Liktanur II were constructive and cooperative. We thank all parties for their participation and look forward to future voyages. Sincerely, eb WellLeaper Robert P. Miltenberg BNL Crew Chief-R. V. Liktanur II Voyage No. 7 RPM/jwe cc N.
