Dear Dr. Conard:
Your letter of May 25, 1961, to Dr. H. E. Macdonald has been reviewed
at Guam and the following opinions are mutual.
The Trust Territory is responsible for the care of the Rongelap population and will establish the logistic support necessary to discharge
this responsibility.
In regard to plans for future surveys, we feel that the Trust Territory
medical department should conduct the annual survey and send the
collected information to your laboratory for evaluation.
It is only
in the infrequent survey including “body burden” tests that the A.E.C.
would furnish medical personnel to participate in the survey, Any
discussions relative to these matters should be carried on directly
with me,
Very truly yours,
Ks
