The people have reacted to this event philosophically.
They are
an intelligent and charming people and have given us the highest degree
of cooperation. There is mutual respect and affection between us.
They appear to be comfortably quartered and well fed on Ejit Island.
They, of course, wish to return to their homes on Rongelap.
It is ny
understanding that the only thing that has delayed their return is the
completion of surveys of their home islands by the Atomic Energy
Commission to be certain that the islands are safe.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT A. CONARD, M.D.
