PEOPLE AFFECTED; AND AFTER HAVING MET THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTUALLY AFFECTED BY THIS BOMB, I HAVE WORE THAN JUST SIMPLE SYMPATHY FOR THESE PEOPLE. I HAVE AN EMOTION WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE, AND THE ONLY WAY ALL OF US CAN APPROXIMATELY UNDERSTAND THIS EMOTION IS TO IMAGINE FOR A BRIEF, UNBEARABLE MOMENT HOW WE WOULD FEEL IF OUR SON OR DAUGHTER WERE TO DIE AS THE RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANOTHER PERSON, OR IF OUR FAMILIES WERE TO BE MADE SICK AND WORRY ABOUT THEIR FUTURE HEALTII BECAUSE OF THE FAULT OF ANOTHER PERSON. MR. PRESIDENT, I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. I COULD GO INTO GREAT DETAIL IN DESCRIBING THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RONGELAPESE WHO WERE DISFIGURED BY RADIATION BURNS BECAUSE OF THIS NEGLIGENCE, AND MOST POIGNANTLY I COULD DESCRIBE IN GREAT DETAIL THE PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH SHOW MR. JOHN ANJAIN AT THE BEDSIDE OF HIS DYING SON, LEKOJ. HOWEVER, MR. PRESIDENT, IT IS NOT MY DUTY TO SPEAK OF UNSPEAKABLE EMOTIONS. IT IS MY DUTY, AS CHAIRMAN OF THE SPECIAL JOINT COMMITTEE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WRONG WHICH HAS BEEN VISITED UPON OUR INNOCENT BROTHERS AND SISTERS. NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO, THE FOURTH CONGRESS OF MICRONESIA’ SAW FIT TO CREATE BY ENACTMENT OF PUBLIC LAW NO. 4C-33, A SPECIAL JOINT COMMITTEE CONCERNING RONGELAP AND UTIRIK ATOLLS. THIS COMMITTEE WAS MANDATED TO STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS IN TWO GENERAL AREAS: INJURY AND MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THE RONGELAPESE AND UTIRIKESE, AND COMPENSATION FOR THOSE PEOPLE. WE HAVE FULFILLED THE FIRST PART OF THE MANDATE BY SUBMISSION OF OUR REPORT A YEAR AGO; AND WE NOW CONCLUDE THE REMAINING PART OF THAT MANDATE BY SUBMISSION SETSETD9 2ST RODE MRNAELIE TTGLPg Sm ORT EL va, La “a “ ree 3 .
