on the

1974 survey,

so the people can make their request to the AEC.

We have heard from the AEC and Dr. Conard that this will be done.

2.

We have recommended that the AEC supply the money for Public Law 5-52

which provides benefits to the people of Rongelap and Utirik.
We understand that this will be done and that the AEC will provide
$20.000 the first year.

3.

The Committee has recommended that the $16,100 inconvenience money

for the people of Utirik which was promised by the AEC in 1979 be given
to the people.

This money would be given with the understanding that

there would be "no strings attached, that if the people received this
money it did not mean that they could not receive more money later if
it was recommended by the people or by the Committee.

We understand that the AEC is ready to provide $14,212 for the 157 people
of Utirik who were originally exposed.

This represents $116.00 per person.

There will be no release of liability for the AEC or the U.S. Government
if the people take this money.

The only problem to be solved
now,is who
_—

is to receive the money for a person who has died.

4.

The Committee also advised the AEC that it would be a good idea to

fully explain to the people of Bikini and Eniwetok about radiation before
those people are returned to their islands.
The AEC has said that it will so this.

5.

The Committee also recommended that a survey of soil, plants,

fish

and so on be done during the 1974 survey.
Dr.

Conard said that thia would be done.

Conclusion

The Committee is very pleased that almost ail of its recommendations
have been carried out,

including those to the AEC, Dr. Conard, the Trust
