REMARKS;
P.O. Box 29939
Honolulu, Hawaii 96820
Dear Bill:
In investigating further the problem concerning payments to Marshellese
patients transported to the United States for medical treatment relating to
radiation exporsure, I discovered the enclosed copy of a letter from Mr. Hills
of your office to Dr. John Iaman in Majuro. It seems to clearly define the
limits of responsibility for ERDA, BNL, and the Trust Territory.
It seems this problem of payment to patients has been around a long time.
The solution of it seems to be unclear even at the present time but I think
the views of Mr. Hill tend to clarify some points.
My file also reveals that in early 1974 there were discussions between
Bob Conard and Dr. Liverman in regards to am AEC draft agreement concerning
a health benefit bill. I am not sure of the exact nature of this agreement
but it may relate to funding for thé compensation described by the Congress
of Micronesia Public Law 5 - 52, a copy of which I sent you earlier..
The per diem rate established by the Trust Territory for people under
Public Law 5-52 is presently set at $9.00 per day for the patient and also
$9.00 per day for one person accompanying the patient.
I hope this information may help to resolve the current problem of
payment for
until she is returned to Utirik,.
Sincerely,
