Files o2@ August 6, 1968 The next item discussed was the two 25KW generators which the AEC had agreed to send for use on Utirik and Rongelap. I advised that they had been shipped Pf Honolulu and were now on Kwajalein and could be expected to be transehipped to the islands oa the next surface transportation available. This would be verified whea talking to Frank Granich on my way to Kwajalein end I told Mr. Heine that he would be advised of the outcome. The next item discussed was the status of the four Marshallese patients which were scheduled to go to Brookhaven for medical treatment, Mr. Heine sdwised that two of the patients were scheduled to be picked up at Rongelap by ship and taken to Ebeye. One patient was on Majuro and one on Ebeye. As soon as the interpreter arrived at Kwajalein the group would be ready to leave for Brookhaven. (Later Granich advised they were scheduled to come to Honolulu on August 2, 1968). Mr. McKay advised that an adainistration vessel, the James KM. Cook will be assigned to the Marshalis. This vessel is not a copra freighter and can be scheduled for use for the next medical survey. The M.V. James Cook is an all-steel 178 ft. vessel and the survey team will not have to use the Ralik-Ratak. Prior to the conclusion, Mr. Heine asked if we had any information om repatriation of the Marshallese from Kili to Bikini. When advised that I had no official information, he asked that if any became available that we pass it on to him. I replied that when such was released from Washington to us, we would be glad to pass it on to the responsible officialswithin the Trust Territory. 88bisos While on Majuro, I took the opportunity to meet with personnel of the Marshall Island Import Export Company to inquire whether the AEC had any outstanding bills or any problems with MIECO. Mr. Bing, Vice President and Manager, assured me no monies were due then from AEC and that the relationships between MIECO and the AEC Medical Survey Team were good. Upon departure from Majuro, I sent a wire to Frank Granich that I would like to meet him on a brief stopeover at Kwajalein. Frank Granich and Mr. Owaby the TT Representative met ae a the terminal at Kwajalein and we discussed the movement of the medical patients to Brookhaven. Everything seewed to be taken care of on that end and Frenk advised that the patients would be scheduled to leave the first OFFICE p SURNAME p> DATED I Form AEC-318 (Rev. 9-53) AECM 0240 US GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1968 0— 296-617
