We recommended that the BNL and the AEC help give extra training to
the health aides on Rongelap and Utirik and that a monthly report
be
sent “in by ship or radio on the health of the people.
Nothing has been done about extra training--but there will be extra
Knudsen,
and his replacement.
We understand that the —
monthly reports will be sent in and that this
6.
is standard practice.
We recommended that: the Division of Community Development try to
help the people of Utirik and Rongelap with assistance in agriculture,
fisheries,
and handicraft because we noted,
that many of the young people have
especially on Rongelap,
left the island and the older people
have little money.
Nothing has been done and we will follow up on this.
The Congresg of Micronesia
l.
We recommended that the Congress of Micronesia pass a law which will
provide benefits such as free transportation,
per diem and health care
for exposed and control persons from Utirik and Reongelap.
This
has
been done.
2.
We recommended that the Congress,. working with the Department of
Health Services and Dr. Conard, make a book for each control and exposed
person which could be used as identification when the people go into
Ma juro or Ebeye for examination.
This has been changed.
We have asked Dr, Conard to make identification
cards, with the picture of each person on it instead of books.
