9 € exposure during their stay on Bikini prior to their emergencyevacuation Jast year. The people of Enewrtak on the other hand will not return to Enewetak until next year, and although health care itself is not necessary at this time, extensive radiological monitoring is essential to prevent a reoccurrence of the Bikini situation. Accordingly, the provision as passed by the House was redrafted to require the Seeretary of the Interior to develop a comprehensive plan which will recognize the different needs of the individual atolls and which assigns appropriate responsibility for environmental monitoring and research and health care between the Department of Imnergy, Department of Defense, and Department of HIEW. As with the previous legislation, the amendment provides for the Department of Energy to assume all costs associuted with this program since the program is itself a result of the nuclear testing programandits costs should be reflected in the agency budget for that agency which was ultimately responsible for the testing program. The provision also specifically notes the possibility of use of the Public Health Service as a way to provide general health care for the atfected populations. . All such costs, consistent with section 104(a) (4) and the new section 106 are to be borne by the Department of Energy. Only to the extent that section 106 authorizes anything which the Seeretary can not al‘rendy do pursuant to section 10-4(a)(4) or other authorization, including the general authorities and responsibilities for the civil governance of the Trust Territory, is the delay on authorizations in section 106(b) (8) to be a limitation. It is noé the intent of the Committce to delay any requirement of section 106 as it is the view of the Committee that all provisions are already authorized, althoughperhaps not mandated. Sec. J03.

At the time Public Law95-134 (TLR. 6550) was being considered, all concerned with the problem of the fallout victims beheved that section 104 of H.R. 6550 covered all potential cases for compensation. “Recently, however, several cases which warrant additional compensation have been called to our attention. These cases involve individuals who have already received compensation undersection 104 (2) (1) of Pubhe Law95-134. In the opinion of the Administration, these individuals should receive additional compensation. ITowever, this Department’s Solieitor has determined that one of the individuals is not entitled to receive additional pryments under section 104(a) (3) of Public Law 95-134, since she received compensation under section LOE(a) (1).
