Dear Bill,
The following are plans for the September quarterly LCU voyage of the
resident physician, Dr. Knudsen. In addition toroutine health care,
hematological examinations will be conducted on exposed Rongelap people
and in addition to the routine visits to Utirik » Rongelap and Bikini a
visit to Wotje will be included to check on a number of thyroid cases at
that atoll.
The whole body counts (gamma spectrographic measurements)
have been planned for the people living at Bikini at the end of the medical survey by Dr. Cohn and two technicians. However, since it would be
desirable to measure the Eniwetok people returning to Japtan during the
same operation in which the Bikini people are measured it would seem advisable to hold the present whole body counting schedule on a tentative
basis,
If the Japtan group is on the island say by about Oct. 8th then
the present schedule could hold with an extension of the LCU voyage to
If the Japtan return is later than this then it would
include Eniwetok.
be better to delay the Bikini counts until the end of our March-April
survey.
We would appreciate being notified as soon as possible about
this situation.
In the meantime we are prepared for the October counting.
The following personnel are for the medical survey:
Dr. Knud Knudsen
(in-charge), Messrs William Scott and Peter Heotis and requested of the
Trust Territory are Messrs. Sebio Shoniber, an x-ray technician and a
nurse or health aide,
For whole body counting Dr. Stanton Cohn, Messrs.
If the whole body counts are delayed and
Doug Clareus and Jack Rothman.
the sleeper-trailer is on the LCU then Vie Nelson and Nat Greenhouse wish
to accompany the medical team on the circuit.
