WHS 5 roe Pe A Bos ay DEFENSE NUCLEAR AGENCY <i) 7 Wen, - _, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20305 , . te sre ‘ 411476 16 JUL tt Dr. Dixy Lee Ray Chairman, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Washington, D.C. 20545 Dear Dr. Ray: As mentioned in my 7 June letter I have requested an aircraft for the trip to Enewetak and Johnston Island. The aircraft (AC-118) is available for departure on 3 September. I would propose the attached itinerary. If your schedule will permit I would suggest a joint trip and would look forward to accompanying you. I will also invite the mens appropriate officials from the Department of Interior and from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs). Your staff advises that prior to mid-August the Commission will have established the radiological standards, enabling DNA to have a draft environmental impact statement. I believe appropriate officials from AEC, DOL and DNA should accompany us to explain the DEIS and answer questions about the cleanup. They should brief us personally either prior to departure and/or on the aircraft enroute. I do not propose that you and I expose ourselves to any “confrontation. However, I think it is important we show our personal interest and a willingness to discuss the issues later if appropriate, after all concerned have had an opportunity to work out details and answer any questions.
