Director for Medicine & Health Research Division of Biology and Medicine’ U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Washtington, 25, D. C. 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 Robert A. Conard, M. D. RAC: j encl. |. 445% i
