The

figure of $1,059,000 represents an estimate based on figures provided by
DOE for eight visits a year or one visit every six weeks to Rongelap, Utirik,
Bikini, Enewetok, Kili, and Ujelang.

The reason for including Kili and

Ujelang is that their population is primarily the people of Bikini and
Enewetok, respectively.
While airstrips are not developed at all the above named atolls and
cost information is not as available for air transportation as for shipping,
it is suggested that the cost would be competitive, and as the airstrips are
provided, this means of transportation be used to provide the additional

health care.
Should this additional service be included as an extra support package
in a comprehensive health plan as discussed above, it would represent approximately an additional million dollars to the budaet provided earlier.
