Dear Dr.

Conard:

I have been in contact with Dr. Cohen; we will make arrangements for
the assessment of my Pu body burden sometime in early February, after he

gets some equipment being repaired ''back from the shop." Dr. Cohen asked
me if I knew of anyone else in this area who may have spent more time on
Runit Island than I.
[I did--Dr.
of the Marine Blological Laboratory,
Woods Hole.

Dr.

has agreed to accompany me to NYU for testing.

You indicated to me that you would like some record of the time I
Spent on Runit and the activities I engaged in while there.
I summarize
(to the best of my recollection) that information below.
Also included
