ERDA-BNL is considered by the people and the leaders
of Micronesia, and I suspect, much of the Trust Territories, as the "experts" in health care delivery.

I

think it would be very interesting to ask for their
perception of BNL's role and responsibilities in

relationship to the entire Trust Territories and to
Micronesia...and how do these responsibilities relate
to delegated authority?

I think BNL can be of tremendous assistance to the Trust Territories,
in a constructive consultant capacity, hopefully via the Department of Interior.
BNL has the medical system and administrative capability to clarify many of the
problems that are now hampering health care delivery in Micronesia, and compounding
the problems of BNL's assignment, the follow-up of the radiation accident group.
