aaa number of the Snewetak People can be comfortably housed on the island, The total environment of Jabtan is a very pleasant and natural one. As you also know, Medren Island (Parry) has large numbers of buildings and materials that will be of use to the returnees. In fact it is a veritable treasure ialand of these valuable materials. I emphasized the fact that the Enewetak People will need and wmt these materials and that they have so stated. The ABC and Holmes and Narver representatives appeared to be syapathetic to this position. They so phrased their comments and questions. 9g. "I suppose the people will want this building." etc. ,etec. The Holmes and Narver representatives evaluated all structures in terms of safety, that is structural safety. I told them that the Enewetak People will want all salvable material on the atoll. I recomaended that the same procedure be followed on Enewetak in the Cleanup operation as was done on Bikini. That is, Enewetak men should be hired to stack and set aside all loose building and other useful materials, and such materials from buildings that will be torn down because they are unsafe structurally. These materials will be the property of the Enewetak People, as were the materials on Bikini the property pf the Bikini People.J feel this policy to be both equitable and practical. In discussion of the above subject it should be noted that Hr.Joe Rotholz, Trust Territory Headquarters Community Development Engineer arrived on Enewetak on the plana in which I departed. He stated that he planned to make a survey of the buildings and materials on the atoll, in company with the Holmes and Narver representatives. The Latter had no prior knowledge of his impending arrival. Mr.Rotholz remained on Enewetak for almost a week on this assignment. During the remainder of my time on the atoll I gave two lectures with question and answer sessions at the request of Mr.Ray. The subject was the history and the culture of the Enewetak People, their removal from the atoll and their life on Ujilang. I discussed the way of Life of the people, their pattern of Living, their exploitation of the envirohwent and the econony, and their attitudes toward the atoll home and needto return. The lectures were well received, I also made a preliminary report in response to Dr.Nervik's request and written questions. I have submitted these data with a covering letter dated 10/31/72. I departed Enewetak for Kwajalein on 10/18/72 and arrivedthe same day. I spent the remainder of my time on Kwajalein while awaiting transportation to Majuro on Commmity Development business. I returned to Majuro on 10/27/72. Jack A.Tobin cc Hr Roger Ray, UeSeAeb Cay Las Vegas, NOVe Dr Walter E. Nervik, LLL, Livermore, Calif. Deputy High Commissioner Chief, Com Dev MLS, Majuro
