He is scneduled for a tour et Enewetak Atoll in January end February cf 1975 sleng with personnel from the University of Hawaii and will have the LCU st his distocel. Part of his program includes lens-water studies on many of the northern islands at Enewetek Atoll where we must perform the necessary terrestrial ecolosy studies end evaluate tne agricultural practices. We have discussed with Koshkin the ‘coordination of the necessary terrestrial and egricultural work and duzl use of the ICU; we find thet the two prorrams would be very compatible. The available space end the cavability of the ICU should be entirely adequate to support the implementation of both programs because they involve the seme area.
