BROOK HAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY TEL. AREA CODE 516 YAPHANK 4-6262 Yx. Dwight Heine Y It was a pleasure seeing you in Kwajalein last month. I was sorry “.<id ilot have more time to discuss things with you. I did have a chance ta discuss in detail the arrangements for the forthcoming medical survey @’ztircary-March, 1967) with Danny Akimoto. I believe we had a general uncierstanding on the arrangements. We had originally thought that March 1 would be the date that we Waclc suggest to you for the Trust Territory field trip to take part of i~e mediczl team to Rongelap. However, I believe that it would be “Getter L> :.dJe an advance team at Rongelap in order to make preparations for tk.e ZL,cvky. I would therefore like to suggest the date of 23 Fzbruary (22 F~ar~~ry Kwajalein time) for the ship to leave. As I discussed wick Danny, :: w5LI probably be necsssary to charter the ship on either the tiip to Kwajalein or the trip from Kwajalein, depending on the timing of your field trip. If zhe date of 23 February is satisfactory, we would need a return ship from Rongelap on 15 February (your time). I am enclosing a tentative schetiale whit’n, of course, is subject to change, depending upon the availa5Liity of ships and planes at the times requested. You will note that we Q-G considering the use of two SA-16 flights also. Arrangements fou zhis w.:: De made directly with Nr. Windsor at Saipan. Enclosed is a copy of z Ie;.=r to Dr. Howe with a copy to Dr. Iaman also, in regard to Trust I would appreciate hearing from you in regard to this proposed schzdule and particularly in regard to the firming up of a definite date for the use of the Trust Territory ship, as soon as you can reasonably do so.
