PUBLEG-INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENTS SHOULD BE SENT THROUGH PASO
70 MAJURO FOR TRANSLATED BROADCAST ON WSZO, PARTICULARLY FOR
BNL MEDICAL VISITS
“
The poople on Rongelap and Utiritk would be better prepared for
the visits and the few exposed or control persons living places
other than Rongelap, Utirik Majuro, or Ebeye would have the
opportunity to travel to one of those places for examination,
(One control person on Kili very much wanted to be examined.)
I committed us ta picking up his transportation costs .to Majuro
and return the next time BNL came there.
FUTURE WBC TRIPS BE LAID OUY IN ADVANCE AND INTEGRATED INTO
LIKTANUR II SCHEDULE
This trip cost us at least $7,000 more than it had to by
using a Marshalls Government ship.
It also used a valuable
Marshalls asset again after we were criticized previously
for using their ship.
DOL PRODUCE
MARSHALLS,
A
HIGH LEVEL DELEGATION TO INTERFACE,
IN
THE
WITH THE LEADERS OF THE MARSHALLS GOVERNMENT
Needless to say this should be well planned, fully coordinated
with the President of the Marshall Islands and the High
Commissioner, and be geared to presenting an overview on
present DOE programs in the Pacific, their evaluation, present
scope and future plans if any.
The USG is entering into a new,
more democratic relationship with the Marshall Islands and to
this end, in my view, we should fully enjoin them to our efforts
as friends and partners.
