Other Kinds and Forms of Compensation As has been noted elsewhere in places in this report, the people of Rongelap and Utirik received other kinds of "compensation" during their removal from their islands. The Rongelapese and Utirikese “were housed and fed on Kwajalein, received copra payments, and eventually received payment for loss of personal possessions. The Rongelapese had new dwellings built on Aijit, and continued to receive a copra payment, a payment for food, and cast off clothing (most of which was for men, much to the distress of the women from Rongelap). Before returning to Rongelap, the AEC contracted with Holmes and Narver and constructed at a cost of about $300,000 new buildings on Rongelap. The people were also given pigs and chickens to replace those which either died or were taken by the AEC and used in medical experiments, as well as some imported food and by one report, a 16-foot boat upon departure of the team which returned them to the island. -23~ eRe Wop apy Fo RE LOT es aang fh 2 Att eg AD i Try oe - BS Sate fr 7 get * oF Nop TE Wea SARs
