This bcoklet has been prepared following a March 1986 meeting of the Marshall Islands Planning Group (MIPG) and reflects listed people as to the U.S. commitments the best judgment of the below- under the Compact of Free Association, primarily the agreement to implement Section 177, and which of these will likely fall to DOE because of unique qualifications or historical circumstances. The plan contained herein also suggests not compact requirements, programs or program elements that are per se, but, in the opinion of the MIPG, should be implemented or continued by either the Republic of the Marshall Government or the U.S. Government Islands (RMI) for their own purposes. This plan is one which has evolved over the past four years and tries to keep pace with scientific and medical accomplishments the changing political arrangements over that period, as well as between the U.S. and RMI Governments. It is intended as a resource and planning guide to the Manager, NV, for his review and input to DP to help focus departmental implementation decisions when discussing compact with other federal agencies.
