Department of Energy Pacific Area Support Office Menm To The Files / COUNTING OF BIKINIANS dealing with D9TA to get TT ship to carry WBC trailer to MeCraw - we will not turn on anything unless we hear from him because he had started everything through LDTA vice NV. Informed Roger Ray of above 12/14 and that we were making arrangenx?nts to send a medical trailer for Dr. Pratt to Majuro on Caroline Islands about 12/15. Somehow, Distad DeBrum thought we were making arrangements for sending WBC. Murawski told by me to hold on WBC until PASO got instructions from NV. Murawski informed HUB 12/14 that HICOM had sent message to DISTAD asking availability of ship to get WBC and provide power water sewer hookups to WBC on Majuro, food for Ex-Bikinians coming from EJIT to be counted, and small boat transportation back and forth DISTAD replied 1404222 DEC that Caroline Islands could get trailer from Kwaj-on Dec. 16 and get to Majuro Dec. 17 provide all other support. Asked what account I advised Roger Ray via phonecon and he was to ask what if anything he wanted us to do. call Tom MeCraw and Dec. 14 Bob Miltenberger from BNL called to have us clarify ship situation. I told him of above and suggested that HICOM, based on above messages, would undoubtedly give go ahead to DeBrum to mve WBC . Based on fact that Miltenberger confirmed that they wanted us (someone) to get trailer to MajuroJ I assured him that D2E Coordinator would ready trailer through Global system to move it to Majuro. Miltenberger asked if PASO should be making arrangement for support for Bikinians on Majuro. I told him that probably BNL should lay out exactly what these needs were in that regard and since it was already in HICOM-DOTA-EV system it should be handled through them.
