CHAPTER 3 NEED TO RESOLVE TEST-RELATED ISSUES Some test-rélated issues remain unsettled and need to ce resolved soon. The issues include, but are not neces- sarily limited to, loss of land, loss of land use, loss of cash crop, racéiological monitoring, the need for a supplemental feeding program, the observance of living pattern restrictions, and the actions to be taken should the people of Enewetak receive excessive doses of radiation. The expectation that the TTPI Agreement will end by 1981, plus the fact that the future political status of the Marshall Islands, of which Enewetak Atoll is a part, is uncertain, further complicates matters. Some of these issues are presently being addressed by the Office of Micronesian Status Negotiations. The Enewecak people have been pézid various sums by the United States for use of the atoll «znd for war damage. These payments, nowever, have not included amounts for damage related to the nuclear testing program. COMPENSATION AWARDED AND PAID TO THEE PEGPLE OF ENEWETAK In 1956, 9 years after the people of Enewetaxk were relocated by the United States to Ujelang Atoll, the TTPI paid tne pvecple $25,000 in cash and $150,000 in trust for use of che atoll. tin 1969, TTPI paid them another $1,020,000 in trust for (1) the hardships they suffered as a result of being displaced, (2) their continued displacement in the foreseeabie future, and (3) the decline in productivity of subsistence agriculture. In 1976,' TTPI permanently ctransferred titie of Ujelang Atoll to the seonvle of Enewetaxk as additional consideration.
