SUBJECT : ‘'Medical Survey of Marshallese Two Years After
Exposure to Fallout Radiation”’
Ihave learned from Dr. Dunham that the attached subject document,
which was prepared by Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Naval
Medical Research Institute, has been distributed, through AEC channels,
by Brookhaven, during the past ten days, as follows:-100 copies (approximately) to various scientific institutions and
medical persons throughout the U.S,
55 copies to AEC depository libraries in the U.S.
55 copies to AEC foreign depository libraries
19 copies to institutions in foreign countries with which AEC has
exchanged medical agreements
13 copies to institutions in the U.S. with which AEC has exchanged

In addition, the following undistributed stocks are located as follows:--
(Yesterday, upon learning of this matter, I asked that no distribution
be made of these until further notice from this office)
