of the chronological sequence of events ensued and points of question
were explained to us by the Japanese using their records (course plots,
radiation readings, decontamination procedures and medical examination
records.
See "Course Plota", Tab A, Appendix III and IV, and section
"Japanese Radiation Readings and Decontamination". )
The services of the interpreters and of Dr. Haszler were definitely of value during this session although we were, on succeeding visits,
able to commmnicate quite directly with the Japanese with satisfactory
success.
An outline of our plans for the following day's activities
was discussed and arrangements made to begin at 0800 on the following
morning (Saturday).
Instructions were given for collecting the 24-hour
urine samples, and it was arranged that Captain Goeke and Dr. Hansen
would return early that evening with the urine containers.
The next
half hour was devoted, again, to a very pleasant visit during which
more soft beverages, Japanese beer and tidbits were served.
Our de-
parture fromthe ship was accompanied by salutes, smiles, handshakes
and waving.
Upon return to the hotel, the team engaged in a short conference,
reviewing the day's activities and outlining plans for the next day.
After dinner at the hotel, the team, aircraft crew members, and
Mr. and Mrs. Foldi spent a very pleasant evening over coffee at the
home-of Doctor and Mrs. Haszler.
