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 islards.

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,
