Dear Dr.
Conard:
As you are aware, the Congress of Micronesia in its 1969 session
expressed concern regarding the funding of Trust Territory Health
Services personnel for the annual Rongelap surveys.
Your letter of
Conmission had
pay travel and
Finance Office
November 24, 1969, indicated that the Atomic Energy
agreed (at least for the March, 1970, survey) to
per diem expenses for the requested personnel.
Our
has requested written authorization from AEC and an
account to which bills will be charged, since that Department does
not possess the authority to make these payments.
We are processing the travel and per diem for the Health Services
personnel on regular Trust Territory Health Services account to pre-~
“clude any delay in their participation.
Your assistance in clarifying
the reimbursement procedure will be greatly appreciated.
