Dear Dr.
Lowman:
PRNC SPECIAL OCEANIC RESEARCH AND ENIWETOK AND BIKINI ATOLLS
Reference is made to your memorandum dated August 22, 1972, to Dr. J. P.
Morgan, PRAO, regarding necessary clearances to carry out the special oceanic
research at Eniwetok and Bikini Atolls. Clearance for
is not possible. "L" clearances for
and
are still
pending as of the date of this letter. Hopefully, the "L" clearances for
these three individuals will be obtained prior to departure of the R/V
Palumbo from Honolulu. Any “uncleared" personnel on the Palumbo will have
to remain on board whenever the Palumbo is in restricted zones in the
Kwajalein-Eniwetok-Bikini area.
Your request to go ashore to take samples on Runit Island has been discussed
with the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research, Headquarters,
and with Nevada Operations Office.
In view of the detailed survey of Runit
Island to be conducted by Nevada Operations, the limited time the Palumbo
can be in the area, plus Nevada Operations willingness to make available to
you such information from its survey of Runit Island as you may need, it has
been decided that sampling by the Palumbo in the vicinity of Runit Island is
to be limited to offshore areas.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
