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

“Y am sorry that I cannot. write you all our report concerning

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.

J wonder why the AEC investigation team does not tell the _

If there is
something unusual with him, I think the AEC doctor have to tell
him it and takes charge of his health.

I hope vou to station a doctor at Rongelap and Utilik (sic)

%&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.

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.

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
