FOLDER rhe Dear Mr. Bonnet: I am enclosing a copy of a letter to Mr. Goding, High Commissioner Aan ten be of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, in regard to plans_ for—,2~ Dr, J. E. Rall of the National Institutes of Healthand myself to visit Kwajalein and Rongelap in September. Though I have not heard from Mr. Goding in regard to these plans, I feel reasonably certain that he will agree. I am therefore writing you to request that you issue travel orders for Dr. Rall and myself for MATS travel to Kwajalein on or about September 13. Also, would you procure the necessary clearance for us? Last year clearance for Kwajalein was obtained through the Hawaiian Sea Frontier (Navy), but if I understand it, such clearance is now obtained through the Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. If plans go through according to the present schedule, we would arrive in Hawaii on Saturday, September 11, Since I am not sure MATS arrangements can be done on a weekend, would it be possible for you to take care of this for us on the 10th? since our plane leaves early Monday morning, I believe. We will only be in the Islands for about a week. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, y , ye be Pfekes - OC verer FINOS Robert A, Conard, M.D. RAC sbb Encl, P.S.: LI would like to thank you at this time for your help in seeing that the Marshallese got back to Kwajalein, RAC. a “ed sigh 0 - Jrmieter alone: i Wells far Get (ele 3 poo ite sod pLali owliic 4 Crust!
