RECOMMENDATIONS:

Futuro visits to Erikub and Maloolap shouldnot be

attompted by UF-1 oxcopt undor conditions of groator urgeney, Tho writer's prior
expericnce in such oporations is very limited, but from his own obscrvations plus
tho romarks made by those better qualificd to judgo, it appears that a fair amou.'
of risk is involved.
