P

ar,.: You will note that the present agreemen

responsibilities of our personnel at Ebeye ‘and Majuro.
With regard
to the legalities of medical care I suppose we are responsible for
Rongelap, Utirik and Bikini while TT is responsible elsewhere.

As you know PL 5-52 and the TT agreement of December 1974
(copies enclosed) are in disagreement and has been the cause of
considerable dissatisfaction among the Marshallese. I suggest we
get together with Mr. Winkel and come up with something agreeable
to all including Congressmen Balos and Heine. [I believe Congress of

Micronesia is out of the picture at this point.

Perhaps we might

arrange a meeting with Winkel when he-next comes to Washington.
Sincerely,
