2. The residents of Rongelap and Utirik on March 1, 1954, should receive medical care for life. The residents of Rongelap and Utirik, both those alive and those in utero on March 1, 1954, should be regarded as a singular obligation of the U.S., and medical care of whatever nature should be provided to them for their entire life. They are a clearly defined population who already receive benefits under the provisions of Public Law 95-134 with respect to radiation-related injuries. 3. There should be a time limit to the benefits provided under the statute for reasons other than those identified in 1.a. and 2 above. We believe that present radiation exposures at currently used residential islands and atolls are at levels where it is extremely unlikely that any health effect will result from such exposures. Certainly it would not be possible to clearly relate any specific potential health effect to those levels of radiation exposure. Because of this and because of the fact that the radia- tion levels are continuously decreasing as the radionuclides decay, it does not seem reasonable or necessary to provide indefinitely for U.S. sponsored health care. Accordingly, any mandated health care program for persons other than those identified in 1l.a. and 2 above is regarded as compassionate compensation rather than because of the potential for radiation caused health effects. Therefore, we would agree that a time limit should be imposed, although we would suggest 25 years rather than 20 years. 4. The beneficiaries as defined in 1. above should receive complete medical care.
