transient contacts with the Indian Health Service. Islands Program has, on a number of occasions, the Public Health Service. Dr. W. A. LA 70118, utilized the consultants from Our current Senior Public Health Consultant is Krotoski from the U.S. New Orleans, The BNL/Marshall Public Health Hospital, telephone 8/686-3530. Dr. 210 State Street, Krotoski is a specialist in tropical diseases and has been active as a consultant in the program for a number of years. From a pragmatic analysis of the bill it would appear that total health care is authorized specifically for the atolls mentioned plus the people of any other atolls exposed to radiation who have developed any "condition" which may be the result, directly or indirectly, of the nuclear weapons testing program, We know from the USS Wheeling monitoring of Likiep that there was a light dusting of that atoll. T am unsure of what further monitoring has revealed, but T understand that data exist that raise the question of “some contamination" on "all of the Marshall Islands" occurring at some time during the entire testing period. More specifically, the Marshall Islands Government has designated all atolls north of 13° north latitude “contaminated' I don't know how they reached this conclusion. The total population of the Marshall Islands is currently somewhere between 28 and 30 thousand people. One of the larger population groups south of the 13th parallel includes the 600+ Bikinians who I am sure will claim psychosocial injury due indirectly to the nuclear weapons testing, so in reality, I think that the Marshall Islands Government will take legal steps to bring all of the Marshall Islands populations under the authorization of this bill. If this is a fact then the plan should provide, at one end of the spectrum of contingencies, for provision of total health care for 30,000 people. The provisions for radiologic education, ecologic and whole body monitoring are addressed by a memorandum from the Safety and Environmental Protection
