extensive long-range research studies are being continued by both the Japanese Government and ~..:.e ARCC on survivors of the A-bomb, while the National Research Institute carries on annual studies of the Lucky Dragon survivors. It is obvious that an annual medical examination is sufficiene for Japanese A-bomb survivors because of the multiplicity of facilities available and the relative ease with which the patients can get to them. A compre- hensive compensation program is also in existence and will be discussed in a later report of the Committee. 64 [014610
