* In that context, then, there is no question but that the island of Eneu must be placed off limits as a place of residence for the Bikini people for at least another 20-25 years. This being the case, I believe these facts must be carefully discussed with and made known to the people of Bikini by you. We must ask them to accept this decision so that with them and their counsel al} of us can now turn to the very pressing problem of where permanent resettlement can be arranged for the people of Bikini. Copies of the Department of Energy's May 15, 1979, report, Radiological Implication for Resettlement of Eneu Island, have been provided to the Legal Counsel for the people of Bikini for his discussions also with his clients. I enclose for your information a copy of Mrs. Clusen's letter of May 15, together with its enclosure, as well as our letter of April 12. Sincerely, ‘|qt ee C. \. UNDER SECRETARY Enclosure uN
