Dear Mrs. Clusen:
Thank you for your letter of June 29, 1979 with respect to the request
from the Marshall Islands Government for a visit by the Brookhaven
Medical team to Likiep Atoll as soon as it is feasible to do so.
I
have written to the President of the Marshalls with respect to requesting a list of the individuals who were residents on Likiep during
March 1954,
Mr. John deYoung of my staff also discussed this request
with Secretary of Foreign Affairs Anton DeBrum of the Marshalls when
he was here several weeks ago,
Mr. DeBrum stated that such a list
could be provided.
We shall furnish the list just as soon as it is received from the
Marshall Islands Government.
Sincerely yours,
RUTH G. VAN CLEVE
