Bonnet, Manager United States Atomic Energy Commission Honolulu Area Office P.O. Box 580 Honolulu, Hawali 96809 Dear Mr. Bonnet: I am in receipt of a letter from Bill Streenan and a copy of Dr. Conard's letter to you dated December 29, 1968. Dr. Conard stated that it would be wise to send a Global representative to Rongelap to inspect the AEC facilities there to determine what maintenance would be required. He further stated that he was concerned of the expense since AEC Travel funds are limited and sending someone from Global to Rongelap with the team would require him to be there the entire time since no return transportation was available, I called the Trust Territory representative here to see if transportation was available to return me from Rongelap since I had planned to go and he told me there wasn't any except what will be available to Dr. Conard. I have made a study of what it would cost to send me to Rongelap about $1,400.00 plus the cost of travel on the Ralik-Ratak if any. Since there is a concern over the travel funds I have an alternate suggestion and that is the representative not go to Rongelap and have Dr. Conard and his technicians make a study of what maintenance be required and take necessary photo's and give the information to me and I will prepare an estimate of what would be needed and on next year's survey send a work team up to Rongelap to perform the tasks as requested by Dr. Conard. - Bd ho Stroman) (~ 30-66 — “waf/ ° ~ /~* Ze of we Conarcel Xo a w// ve
