Your telephone conversation of July 5th and letter of
July 6th both pretaining to the proposed Bikini-Eniwetok
survey for this summer have caused us to re-orient our
thinking and plans into other channels of research.
An
Opportunity will now be provided for an inventory of our
past efforts and the resumption of some of the projects
we have had to abandon during the past years because of
insufficient man-power and facilities to continue with them.
it is hoped, during you visit of next month, that we can
discuss our entire field of research with respect to the
program of the Division of Biology and liedicine.
We have forwarded to you,
through the danford Uperations
Office, two copies of the "Radiobiological Survey of Bikini,
aniwetox, and Likiep .tolls - July-sugust 1949".
.
This summer should prove helpful in future planning for
resurvey in the Bikini-Iniwetok srea and the extent of our
participation in future testing programs.
Very sincerely yours,
LRD: pr
