Major General Frank A. Camm, USA -2- This information is in basic agreement with that accumulated from other sources, files, OS, etc., which consider that 20 of the Atoll's 42 islands are in need of cleanup and rehabilitation. (See Answer 4.) Question 3: Answer 3: Question 4: Answer 4: Question 5: Answer 5: Describe the Bikini and Eniwetok land use histories. See the attached memorandum from Cochran to Swindle, subject: "Answers to Questions Posed by G. Wiltrout, DMA, on July 27, 1971." Request suggested AEC schedule including chronology of requirements and magnitude of AEC effort during cleanup. See attached paper from NVwhich has been staffed through AEC Headquarters. How many Marshallese are expected to return to Eniwetok Atoll? The answer is unsettled and probably not now capable of absolute determination. The answer turns on eligibility. Records indicate that 120 persons were removed from the Atoll. Estimates on those eligible to return range from that figure to about 200. Efforts are being made to obtain a figure from the Department of the Interior, Office of Trust Territories. Question 6: Answer 6: How was contaminated Bikini soil disposed of? There was no need to decontaminate the soil at Bikini since there was no contamination by direct means (i.e., explosions on or directly over the islands. Most shots were from barges, etc.) The preponderant source of contamination resulted from fallout only. Source: Joe Deal, DOS. Yiblian HiMey William W.
