tee oo ee HOUSE JOURNAL -~ 16th DAY a Pap * victims, we have been realized anew the fear of ll-bomb test in 1954, Tt is really readre'table that sufferings from the blast have been influenced still now, and we fear that which will cause to bring about another suffering as cancer in near future. an inherited imrediment caused by the radioactive What is more, if fallout would spring up among their descendants, their misfortune would be doubled: veph@re are many children who are born cripplé and leukemia among the second generation of a-bomb sufferers in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, . 2f.the nuclear blast bring about such a many misfortune artificially, ' £-can but aay that it is profanity against God and human beings. “Y am sorry that I cannot. write you all our report concerning the survey team, for we are putting in order all the collected materials Now. We will surely send you the final report when it will be com- pleted. For the time being, however, I would ilke to write you ‘ my impression in Majuro, and also would like to give you some suggestion to those sufferers wno need to take urgent medical treatment. "Impression "1) 7 ea J wonder why the AEC investigation team does not tell the _ . condition of a desease (sic) exactly to”a sufferer. If there is something unusual with him, I think the AEC doctor have to tell him it and takes charge of his health. . i) ee ".); "2) I hope vou to station a doctor at Rongelap and Utilik (sic) in order to taking charge of sufferers, If it is impossible I hopa that a medical specialist will be stationed at. Majuro and let him observe the condition of health of sufferers and give them daily: advice, f "3) Taking consideration of the above, I dare say-that the object of the AEC Investigation team does not put its focus on curing the sufferers but only collecting ‘the data for their experiment. "4 %&I think it is not a way of understanding patients quite well : that the AEC only achieves its duty by destributing (sic) one year's portion of medicing. In Japan, we don't take such a reckless way of dosing, for we can not sce how a patient will change in the course of a year beferehand. I think that there is a possibility that a paticnt keeps taking medicine having been given him without awaring (sic) of changing for the worse. I suppose this method of medication is due to that of the U.S. which takes an interest in the medical science only and consider a patient merely as a material of experiment. *5) A-bomb sufferers ara given medical treatment as follows in - Japan., As they are apt tu lose their fine health much easily comparing with the ordinal (sic) peoples, they had better be observed more carefully and have time to talk with them so often that they are given sufficient medical treatment. I dare say, however, that Majure, Rongelap, and Utilik {sic) are surrounded by too many unfortunate and miserable conditions to supply that I write you on the sbove. "6) One of my conclusion from this survey is that ail actions for medicine have to be done from the standpoint that H-bcrbsufferers in Micronesia are also respactable human beings and have 49 Le given medical treatmant 2: 2 paticnt.
