Dear Dwight:

It was a pleasure seeing you in Kwajalein last month. I was sorry
cid not have more time to discuss things with you. I did have a chance
to discuss in detail the arrangements for the forthcoming medical survey
(Feoruary-March, 1967) with Danny Akimoto. I believe we had a general
understanding on the arrangements.
We had originally thought that March 1 would be the date that we
woul. suggest to you for the Trust Territory field trip to take part of
cane medical team to Rongelap. However, I believe that it would be setter
co Mave an advance team at Rongelap in order to make preparations for the
secvey. I would therefore like to suggest the date of 23 February (22
Foorusry Kwajalein time) for the ship to leave. As I discussed with Danny,
lc will probably be necessary to charter the ship on either the trip to
Kwajalein or the trip from Kwajalein, depending on the timing of your field
trip.
If the date of 23 February is satisfactory, we would need a ceturn
ship from Rongelap on 15 February (your time). I am enclosing a tentative
schedule which,
of course,
is subject to change, depending upon the avail-
ability of ships and planes at the times requested.
You will note that we
27s considering the use of two SA-16 flights also, Arrangements fo chis
wil pe made directly with Mr. Windsor at Saipan.
Enclosed is a copy of a
lei si to Dr. Howe with a copy to Dr. Iaman also, in regard to Trust
Territory personnel requested.
I would appreciate hearing from you in regard to this proposed scheduie
and particularly in regard to the firming up of a definite date for the use
of the Trust Territory ship, as soon as you can reasonably do so. With best
regards,
BEST COPY AVAILABL™
