Robison presented the draft LLL proposal for studies directed
the question (with a five year time for an answer) of when people
n return to live sn Erjebi Island at Enewetak Atoll. See Attachent I. The work vith test plantings will reauire movement of

alconsiderable amount of soil from a relatively clean island, to

'Enjebi.

The island cf Rex, off the channel] benween David and

Parry, is seen as a possible source of this soil. Robison will

be selecting areas for test plantings during the current planning

people had accepted the AEC recommencation that Enjebi Island
could not be resettled along with islands in the scuth and that this
island requires further study. The problem ci finding a place in
the southern islands for homes for the Enjebi people turned out
not as difficult as had been anticipated. However, certain tradeoffs and sacrifices are being mace by the pecole in order to comply
sith restrictions on land use. We are to see znother draft of the

damage in Enewetak. Harry Brownsaid the: currently, Ujelang
will be given to the Enewetak people only if ciaims for damage are
waived.
