I would greatly appreciate it if we could obtain and carry with us the following gift foods: 10 cases of apples, 10 cases of oranges, 25 cases of diet Cola, 1,500 lb. rice, 360 (1.¥% lb.) cans of beef stew, 240 cans of Span, 3 bags of donut mix (50 lb. bags) and 20 (3 lb.cans) of shortening, 120 cans ef baked beans (large), 18 cases of powdered milk, 6 cases of oat meal, and 300 lbs. of dried beans. In addition, from the standpoint of housekeeping and for the physical examination tables, we will need at least 85 sheets and about 50 towels to be used by the scientific party for berthing and exaninations during the outer islands survey. ‘ At the present time, Bill Scott is working frantically to make arrangements for the air shippment of our medical equipment. As of today, we have 10 to 12 boxes which we anticipate shipping by commercial aix to San Francisco and then transfering to Travis Aix Force Base for transportation to Honolulu via NAC. Bill has already talked to Mr. Koga and Louise Sutton about this shippme Of course it is imperative that this shippment reach Majuro the second we May since we expect to arrive on the island on May 14th. We would appre ‘iate any help that you could give us on that end in expediting the transfer of the shippment. Peter Heotis and Januk will be going down to Majuro about May 9th to make preliminary arrangements there and to set. up the car rentals. I just finished talking to our Travel Agent here and I have it set up so that I will arrive in Honolulu at about 11:30 PM on the 9th. Would it fit into your schedule if we could meet in your office at about 10:00 AM on the 10th to discuss the possible configuration of the fixed sites on the outer islands and some of the future logistic plans and hopefully to have a period of time with Wayne Monk to talk about the forthcoming trip. I am in the process of getting a letter off to Oscar deBrum to examine the feasibility of holding a village meeting at Majuro prior to the beginning of our survey there. As far as I know, this has never been done before and I think that we might be able to head off some of the problems that we had during the Last survey if we had an open question and answer period before we began the examinations. In line with that, since at least half of the questions that come to the medical survey group during those examinations concerns reparetions and administrative matters, would it be possible to have a membe.) of your staff available for that village meating in Majuro on the evening of Hay 14th? I think that Harry did a good job of the briefings that we presented togcther on the outer islands and probably could present any new developments on Pr~-116. JU3Z83
