DPAFT = DUNHAM /rme se 4/23/Sh -13- 28. March 30. Allison to Bugher - I have asked Eisenbud participate tomorrow in my regular off-record briefing of U. S. press representatives Tokyo. They have strongly urged his appearance on grounds Japanese officials and scientists have been issuing continual series inflammatory and inaccurate statements regarding Fukurya Maru incident and they lack background for appraisal. 29. March 30. Allison to Bugher - I saw Okazaki this morning immediately before Cabinet meeting and set forth serious effects continued failure of cooperation may have both for critically ill FM sailors and for medical and scientific knowledge useful to both countries. Okazaki promised to do his best. Okazaki telephoned this evening to say (A} Eisenbud and Morton will have full access to patients beginning tomorrow. Arrangements should be made by them directly with directors of hospitals concerned. He thought everything would be adjusted to their satisfaction, but if there were any slip, he (Okazaki) should be informed immediately. (B) No tests have been made on patients yesterday because of their extreme nervousness. After day rest tests will begin. (C) At meeting April 2 findings of all participating doctors and technicians will be reviewed. Dr. Morton and Eisentmd are specifically invited attend. No reports regarding patients available to us today. One measure government's and our difficulty is fact that examination and treatment of the seven patients hospitalized at Tokyo University have been divided among four independent medical services.
