January 12, which were based on TIG's review of information relevant
to observations of Pu in the urine of Bikini residents.

We plan to obtain urine samples collected as you recommend and are

considering initiating an independent assessment of the plutonium

body burdens expected for residents of Bikini.
We are glad to have
your confirmation that potential health consequences associated with

the range of possible plutonium body burdens is very small and agree
that specific estimates of potential health consequences should be

deferred until data are improved.

Thank you for your prompt review and recommendations on this matter.
We will keep TTG informed of significant developments.
Sincerely,
