OTHER Mr. William Stanley Pacific Area, Support Office Energy Research and Development Administration P.O, Box 9186 Honolulu, Hawaii 96820 REMAR 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. The following is the proposed schedule: Sept. 15 Scott and Heotis " Sept. 20 LCU to Wotje Sept. 22 Wot je Sept. 23 - 26 Utirik Sept. 27 - 30 Rongelap " CS: Ladd tual Sept. 17 cs ra COHAILO 12388."
