Dear Dave:

Enclosed is a brief summary report of the recent medical

survey of the Rongelap people.

These findings must be considered

as preliminary material since most of these data have not been
completely analyzed yet.

We were most pleased with the splendid

assistance and support of the Trust Territory in carrying out
these examinations. Also gratifying was the fine spirit of

friendliness and cooperation on the part of the Rongelap people.

I am making these reports available to Mr. Norwood and
the United Nations Trusteeship Council for use in their next meeting
if they so desire. I am also sending them copies of the 11 and 12
year BNL report.

Sincerely yours,

Bet
