DAY 1
TAPE 1, SIDE 1
Roger Ray:

I think you all know generally why we are here.

We are here to

report some work that has taken almost 4 years; that is, the conduct and
analysis and reporting of results of the survey that was done in 1978.
Some of you were here in July of 1978 when I talked to the same group about
our plans to do the survey, and I remember that one of the most important
things that I heard in that meeting was that you and your families and
friends on the islands that were surveyed would very much like us to come
back and report the results after we were finished.
That was a promise that I made at that time, that we would come back as
soon as the report of the survey was finished.

(Can I use this for a second?)
The actual scientific report of the survey is in a collection of books that
look like this and some of you have seen those.
The last of those was completed and came from the printers just a few days

ago and just arrived here recently.
At the same time that that report was being printed, Dr. Bair and his
colleagues and, Alice Buck working with them, prepared this booklet.

I

think all of you have copies of it now, which is a summary of the reports
of the survey and is expressed in both languages, Marshallese and English.

We have many copies of that report and wish to make it available, that
booklet, (wish to make it available) ta everyone who will find it
interesting and useful.
