Ig Trip Report -7- We brought our child for medical treatment and she didn't get free treatment like we get. PL 5-52 says descendents are covered but the agreement between DOE and TTPI does not cover them, PL 7-116 affords them coverage if future medical findings so dictate. 1 HUB: Even if the TT law "collapses" the DOE agreement will not, and when the Marshalls separate DOE is prepared to enter into @ new agreement with the new government. is There is too much confusion with the TT law and the agreement. Why not forget the Congress of Micronesian (COM) law because COM has already collapsed. Maybe you should stop examining us until you decide to include our kids in compensation. |» 19 Pratt: We didn't even see thyroids for 10 years, It takes time to find these things. If we find things down the road they will be compensated. HUB: Personally I think it would not be a good idea to not receive the medical care and checkups. BNL is looking very hard and if ever there is any evidence that there is a problem [™ Pratt: We plan to conduct blood tests in the future and have in past which will show up any problems. (oO How can you tell if the kids have a problem unless you examine them. If children are referred to Tripler, or Majuro or Ebeye, do they get per diem. [ 9 with the kids it is guaranteed they will be included. HUB: No, but TT will send them and if they can't afford to pay they don't have to. If the mother or relative goes as an escort she gets per diem in Honolulu. Q. Thank you for meeting with us although we are not completely satisfied. Our body has been used for study. Someday I hope our bodies will be given back to us and buried on our own soil. I then closed the meeting with our thanks for the fine attendance, stating that we understood and shared their problems and that DOE and Brookhaven are working very hard to solve them. The DOE is committed to keep working on the problems created by this accident and will fully meet its responsibilities.
