(v1 |. Oo" ——— Memorandum to Files QD Fede Gg . After returning from Ejit to the base island, we talked with Mr. Neas regarding the possibility of the Trust Territory personnel making collections of water and coral from the various atolls that they visit during the course of the year. They apparently plan to get around to these atolis about every three months, The atolls that they visit include Ujelang, Eban, Jaluit, Majuro, Mili, Maloelap, Wotje, Likiap, and Utirik. There are other atolls that they also visit, but it would appear that collections might advantageously be made from the ones I have listed, It was agreed that we would write Mr. Neas, sending a copy of our letter to the High Commissioner, indicating the atolls that we wish to have collections made from. A supply of containers, 5 gallon and one gallon sizes, should | be sent to Mr. Neas at Majuro. These will have to be sent out from the New York Operations Office, We will also provide Mr. Neas with more precise information on the collections we have made and the frequency of collections, I doubt that it would be deairable to make more than a single collection from each atoll and probably repeat this about four or five months later, These collections ean ba made at no direct expense to the Commission; I believe that these collections will be quite valuable and that we may want to continue them periodically, particularly in the event that there are future tests at the BPG, CC; Dr. Bugher , tow .B vaneatlr Boe OOO Form AEC-318(Rev.9-83) ~~ — ~ covenmmant puimting ormae ievaniona --3
