DR. JAMES LIVERMAN -2- WHETHER OR NOT THE ABOVE IS PRECISE OR IN CONTEXT, IT IS THE SINGLE MOST DISTURBING IMPRESSION TO THE BIKINIANS. THIS LEAVES DEBRUM REALLY NO CHOICE BUT TO DISCOURAGE OR DENY USE OF THE BIKINI HOUSES. I BELIEVE THAT TO BE UN- WARRANTED AND BILES COMMENTS TO HAVE BEEN MISINTEPRETED. * IAM SURE THAT WE CAN AND SHOULD CONVEY TO DEBRUM ET AL THAT WE HAVE AMPLE KNOWLEDGE TO ASSURE THEM THAT THE EXISTING HOUSES CAN BE SAFELY INHABITED, UNDERSTANDING, OF COURSE, THAT THE DIET NOW IS AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE FROM IMPORTED SOURCES, AND GROUND WATER MUST REMAIN SUSPECT. THE SIX MONTH DELAY MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL TO ME. ARE SOMETHING OVER 100 KILI PEOPLE INHABIT BIKINI HOUSES. THERE READY TO RETURN AND SIX MONTHS FROM NOW NOTHING WILL HAVE CHANGED EXCEPT THAT WE WILL KNOW A BIT MORE ABOUT FOOD CHAIN CONSIDERATIONS. BUT THE FOOD CHAIN IS NOT AT ISSUE FOR EARLY UTILIZATION OF THESE HOUSES. I HAVE TOLD DEBRUM THAT WHAT I THINK BILES INTENDED TO CONVEY WAS THAT IF NO HOUSES EXISTED ON BIKINI HE WOULD NOT SUGGEST PUTTING THE FIRST RESETTLEMENT COMMUNITY THERE; THAT WE es WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE FIRST SETTLEMENT ON ENYU AND
