BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY ASSOCIATED 401983 UNIVERSITIES, INc. UPTON, Lt. N.Y. 11973 REFER: TEL. AREA CODE 516 YAPHANK 4-6262 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT August 9, 1968 Mr. William Streenan U. S. Atomic Energy Commission P.O. Box 580 Honolulu, Hawaii 96809 Dear Bill: I received your report on the trip to the Marshall Islands and was quite happy with the results of your visit. In regard to the land rental I presume the arrangement for Rongelap will be forthcoming before too long. In regard to the generator I gathered that the Trust Territory is purchasing one already for Utirik and that presumably they will furnish fuel for that generator. Under these circumstances I agree with you that our 25 KW generator could be used as a standby for them and used by us during the survey. I would therefore presume that the Trust Territory could take both of these generators and install them at Utirik at the same time. I am glad we can have a decent ship that can be scheduled for the next survey. The patients are here and we are proceeding with examinations. I have no objection to your keeping the Marshallese an extra day in Honolulu to show them around and think it is very kind of you and your wife to be willing to do this. I am sure they will appreciate it. Sincerely, BAR Robert A. Conard, M.D. RAC: jr G13312 7 REPOSITORY » 0é L FA So COLLECTION DoeLWVv “Enda *3' L226 soxne, BIO - HED, DA. COnARD FOLDER 2/7HEU 12 11968
