D. E. Patterson 2 The cost per person, then is: FY 82 Est. FY 83 $1,023 $1,105 Therefore, the cost per person in FY 82 ranges from $1,000 - $1,400, although the lower figure undoubtedly is the more realistic of the two. The comparable estimated cost in FY 83 is $1,100 - $1,500. “ It should be recognized that the actual population mandated by Public Law 95-134 is the 175 exposed persons. Observations on these people would have little meaning without comparison populations, however. Furthermore, both medical ethics and the people require that children not be excluded from examination by the medical personnel. The Bikinians are included by verbal request of the Congress and by written agreement between the Department of the jaterior, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Bikini people. Except for medical emergencies, medical care and treatment is limited to those beneficiaries mandated by P.L. 95-134 (i.e., the 175 persons); others receive a clinical examination, diagnostic tests, and such limited medical assistance as can be provided at the time; anything requiring greater medical attention is referred to the Health Services of the Marshall Islands Government.
