Dear Mr,
Gc k
Bonnet:
To help us in our Bikini
resettlement program, we need whatever
information the Atomic Energy Commission can provide us regarding the radiological safety of the Peter-Oboe-Tare complex of
islands.
As we recall,
this string of islands was being dis-
cussed further in hopes that it would be declared safe for continuous habitation.
In two weeks members of my staff will be attending a planning
meeting in Majuro with the Bikini leadership to determine when
families may actually be returned to their atoll.
We would like
to be able to report on the Peter-Oboe-Tare complex at that time.
Please advise us on the status of these islands at your earliest
convenience.
Thank you again for your continuing cooperation
and assistance.
Ck
Sincerel

yours,
