ge Hawaii Hawaii poses many problems but has not been completely dismissed. A delegation has visited Oahu and the big island of Hawaii and also wants to visit the island of Molokai sometime in the future, h. Wake Island and Midway Island DOI was asked to explore the possibility of permitting the Bikinians to visit these two islands. Mrs, Van Cleve indicated that OTA would launch official requests to the Department of Defense forthwith to arrange possible visits. 12. Kili Dock - In response to an inquiry by Mr. Weisgall, Mrs. Van Cleve stated that while she understood that the High Commissioner had arranged for a survey for a dock possibility, she had not seen any results, It was noted, though, that while the people of Kili had originally requested a dock, they now held that to spend millions of dollars on a dock that might not withstand the rough weather conditions would not be a realistic proposal. 13. Short range airfield There was a brief discussion of the pros and cons of a STOL airfield. Mr. Waltz noted that this would mean taking out a considerable number of coconut trees. On the other hand, if charter aircraft or other aircraft were available from Kwajalein or Majuro, a short range airfield would mean access at all seasons of the year and especially in times of medical emergencies. 14. Long term goals Mr. Weisgall outlined the long term goals of the people of Bikini. a. Suitable temporary resettlement b. Future medical care Ce Compensation for the destruction of islands in the Bikini Atoll and the loss of the use of Bikini Atoll for the indefinite future d. Future monitoring of Bikini Atoll The Bikini-Kili Council holds that the United States must continue to bear direct responsibility and liability for the short-term and longterm injuries, losses and needs of the people of Bikini and must provide for their needs after termination of the Trusteeship Agreement. 15. Possibility of resettlement in other parts of the Trust Territory Mr, Henchi Balos mentioned that Sen. Bailey Olter had suggested that Ant Atoll near Ponape Island be looked at as a possible place for resettlement of the Bikini people. This atoll is said to be privately owned and possibly the owners might consider sale. It was agreed that this possibility would be explored and OTA will contact the High Commissioner on this matter.
