Paciiic Northwest Laboratories To Carl Unruh Subject Marshall Islands Information and Education Program We have been requested by DOE-ASEV to be in Washington December 10 for a meeting with the !lepartment of Interior to describe the Program Plan and answer questions about it. We are asked to give a 10 to 15 minute description of the plan. We can use view graphs. I think our presentation should follow the printed plan-objective (the Burton Bill), what has already been done, what this plan will do, how it was developed (meetings with the !4arshallese government), assumptions, conditions, requirements (involvement of the !larshallese people), elements of the program, time frame, examples of topics, cost estimate, etc. The view graphs should be as simple as possible--better to leave off non-essentials than to make the view graphs too complex. I’ve met with some of these Interior people before (mostly lawyers) so I know the necessity of keeping the presentation simple and straightforward. I’ll be here December 5 so we can go over plans for the presentation on the 10th. I think you should make the presentation and I will back you up. The purpose of this meeting is to acquaint DOI with the plan so they can describe it to Congress and whoever else--if DOI buys it. This presentation is especially important to PNL not only because of the visibility our work on this plan will receive, but it may very well determine whether DOI asks PNL (throu~h DOE) to carry out the program when it is funded. As you know this 1s still an open question. The quality of our presentation on December 10 will be viewed by DOI as an indicator of how well we could carry out an information and education program in the Marshalls. Therefore, please get all the expertise available at PNL to help prepare the presentation and the view graphs. This should be a PNL best effort. EINW’s interest in developing 1831 business in the Pacific can be greatly enhanced by our eff;rt on December 10 (since DOI is the most likely government agency to fund work in the Pacific) and b.y our getting the opportunity to carry out the information and education program in the Marshall Islands.
