This paragraph contains erroneous conclusions.
The
August 1975 reports referenced in paragraph 79 did not
recommend against use of permanent residences on Bikini
Island.
Rather, the preliminary report entitled ''Radiological
Evaluation of Phase Il Housing Construction, Bikini AtollAugust 1975,'' page 8, contains a summary of conclusions
regarding six different cases of assumed living patters

acceptable to the people.''
Case 2 is defined in Table }
of the report as follows:
