Roger Ray, DFO, RY “4. PRIVACY ACT MATERIAL REMOVED the brother of _ and has been a bitter critic of the program and Dr. Conard for some years. He is unexposed. Earlier in the day he had tried to turn one family away from seeing the medical team. I asked him if we could help him to which he replied "I am with the Japanese". Since they were not coming aboard that day I essentially moved off the boat. I told him I was rather surprised that he came aboard after trying to turn people away. He lied to me that he didn't say anything to anyone and that his actions were only his personal ones. Since there was no mission justification for having him aboard, and his presence was not helpful to us during the interview, he continued to be disinvited. Asahi News conducted a filmed interview with Or. Adams and me aboard ship on November 3. The ground rules I established were that we had to have the questions written and submitted to us in advance, and that there were to be no follow on questions. We received the questions 7 hours in advance of the interview and Dr. Adams and I organized our proposed replies (the questions and notes from the questions I answered are attached). I decided that we should address every question in spite of the fact that many were very "loaded". Dr. adams was very apprehensive at first. ‘I felt that had we ducked a question there was a reasonable probability the documentary would have contained a sentence like "Here are some questions the U.S. spokesman refused to answer". All things considered the interview went very well. Dr. Adams did an excellent job in my view. I had off the record talks with Messrs Toyosaki and Uematsu and realistically believe we have done no more than perhaps “cut our losses". We will be lucky to get off with "60 Minutes Revisited". To top it off I learned they were leaving the next evening on an RMI ship for Bikini, Rongelap, Utirik and Wotje for further material. During the course of the day, another exposed person came aboard for examination and I immediately dispatched RMI Health Services who sent over a medex to secure permission from this person (Ronald Mathew, brother of Senator Donal Mathew of Utirik) to be photographed while being examined. He declined so the media team told me they would settle for generak pediatrics photos if they secured permission. I asked for and received a verbal promise that they would not portray the person as exposed and would indeed acknowledge that this was part of a non-radiation related pediatrics mission. The RMI Health Services obtained permission (attached) from Mrs. |! to have her child photographed while being examined by Dr. Adams. also photographed the laboratory area. They The media group then left for Bikini Atoll, Rongelap, Utirik and Wotje on the Micro Chief, to continue their coverage. ;
