Yhis is in respons to your telephone request of June 14,

i$79, to members o; my staff for information relative to

cisrrent,

and projected costs and general

content cf the continuing and anticipared Deperiment of
Energy (852) programs in the Marshal: Isiands,

The enclno::d consists of a “best estimate’ by the staff.

f

In view oF the nazure of the program:, the fact that the
djrection j.ad magnitude of future elrers often depends
upon conc: ..sions resulting from cortiauing surveillance
of the situation, and the expectation that future recuests
from various interested perties may significantly affect
the prosram,

it should be clearly yndersteod that the en-

closed cost estimates are considered as tentetive only.

As you well know,

the present cirevestances in che Marshall

Islands are very fluid, and it is a'fficult to anticipate
a wide spectrum of possible demand, upon the programs which
might alice the cost estimates.
Furthermore,

*°: should be noted that we have not included

those prorramc which are not cf = continuing nature and

are consijer:d to terminate within the next fiscal year
(e.g., the 35-atoll survey, suppert to the Defense Nuclzar
Agency fox astivities associatedé with the cleanzvr of Inevetak).
LI trust thet this information i: restonsive to your request.

Please let me know if we can be of further assistance.
