Liverman Assistant Administrator for Environment and Safety U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration Washington, D.C. 20545 ‘Dear Jim, Enclosed is a suggested revision of your draft letter to the Utirik people. I have gone over this carefully with Vic Bond and Gene Cronkite to incorporate our combined changes and additions. You will note that the letter is written in a more scientific vein in view of possible legal involvement. I hope that you have approved the meeting with the Marshallese representatives and if so have been able to get out the necessary letters to instigate the meeting. It would be desirable to hold this meeting as soon as possible and in view of the logistics prob- lems involved it may be early December before it could be held. On the Letter to Mr. Coleman I suggest you add for copies the names of Congressman John Haglelgam, Congress of Micronesia, Siapan Mariana Islands 96950 and Dr, Ezra Riklon, Director of Health Services, Majuro, Marshall Islands 96960. Sincerely, aa? 04h Robert A. Conard, M.D. RAC: gc CC: Drs. W. W. Burr, Jr. W. H. Weyzen V. P. Bond E. PP. Cronkite K. D. Knudsen Po 7 | INFORMATION OPERATOR (516} 345-2124 . 5009bb 1 ' : at 4 ae 9
