\24° La Coaments on Draft Letter from Department of Interior to Representative Yates - Major Comments 1. The primary point of the letter seems to be a discussion of the possible resettlement of Enjebi. It would seem appropriate, therefore, for this issue to be discussed at the beginning of the letter rather than at the very end. 2. The space devoted to discussion of coconut planting and of the Ujelang conference seem disproportionately large compared to the primary purpose of the letter (i.e., the possible resettlement of Enjebi). 3. There seems to be an imbalanced discussion of the two alternate ways of approaching the question of Enjebi: cost-risk-benefit evaluation versus strict application of radiation exposure limits. The discussion of the "Enjebi Resettlement" does not clearly or adequately address the subject of U.S. radiation exposure limits. The first two paragraphs of this section discuss risk, the third addresses Interior's position, while those following state what various opinions (e.g., Congress, Mr. Mitchell) were on the AEC/ERDA recommended exposure limits at the time of the authorization. Either prior to or following the third paragraph (i.e., Interior's position), it would be helpful ‘te clarify the background of radiation exposure limits: FRC guidance, AEC/ERDA recommendations to Interior (and why they differed from the FRC), and the recent EPA position (although this also might logically come later in the discussion). The two philosophies (risk ves. exposure level) should be understood by the reader. we ene! ™ . cael Ba “ . “er ee ne . (A restructuring of this ahneta Oliailll x
