Department of Interior has the basic responsibility for the Trust Territories as Executive Agent although their interface concerning Eniwetok with the Department of Defense is far from clear. Ambassador Williams is the principle point of contact in this matter. The AEC has responsibility for technical surveys and consequent advice and recommendations on radiological matters. The General Manager should be informed as to the situation. The suggested course of action should be to inform Department of Interior (Ambassador Williams) as to the situation and the AEC plans regarding radiological surveys. This information should be accompanied by a request for advice as to national policy and what action Interior proposes to carry out its commitment to give over Eniwetok to the Trust Territory. It appeared that this approach to Interior might be both in a meeting and in writing. William W. Gay Captain, USN Assistant Director for Tests Enclosures: 1. Memo fm Miller to Hollingsworth 2.
