must be considered.
The preliminary report to Congress would
Signal that something more definitive would be submitted at a
later date.
She stated that as soon as OMB clearance could
be obtained on any proposed preliminary report that would go
to Congress, copies would be provided to participants.
She
reminded representatives that DOI is not the controlling factor
in releasing this type of report.
Mr. Mitchell (Enewetak) in closing, brought up the matter of
"other affected atolls" again and wondered why DOI had not
moved as yet on setting up a method of criteria.
Meeting closed at approximately 1:15 p.m. with reminder that
DOI would receive written comments up to close of business on
Wednesday, December 17, 1980.
