Detailed comments:
The statement that restrictions not
previously disclosed to the people were released in
preliminary report in August 1975 is untrue.
As the plans
for resettlement have been better defined through development
of a ''Master Plan,'' additional advice in the form of
recommendations has been developed.
From the very first
reports and during the visit to Kili by the then High
Commissioner Norwood in August 1968, the AEC/ERDA position
presented was one of limited use of islands of the oO ARCH!
with restrictions on which island could be used for
permanent residents and restrictions regarding production
and use of local foods.
Only the island of Eneu was
recommended for use free of restrictions.
