a. The lack of any Bikini representative at the March 22, House Interior Subcommittee on Appropriations Hearing. 1979, b, Mr, Henchi Balos, now Member of Parliament representing the people of Kili-Bikini, learned of the recent inspection visit of High Commissioner Winkel and the Bikini delegation to Hawaii only by accident when he was in Honolulu enroute to Washington and New York City with the Marshalls Political Status Delegation. c. Mr. Weisgall also was not aware of the inspection trip to Hawaii. Had he known of the impending visit, he could have arranged the U.N. Trusteeship portion of the Bikini schedule in such a manner as to make it possible for him and Mr. Henchi Balos to be in Hawaii at the same time the High Commissioner was there. There would have been considerable value in participating in the inspection trip and also talking to High Commissioner Winkel. d. Mr. Waltz (Advisor to the Bikini Council) noted that there was no advance notice on the recent "whole body counting" examination of former residents of Bikini who now are on Kili. A field trip ship simply appeared to take the people to Jaluit. Also, the ship used did not have safety measures, i.e., women and children were taken across the reef in bad weather without life jackets. The people were taken without advance notice to Jaluit for the examinations and were provided only $10.00 for their expenses, which was not sufficient. e. Also, the Kili-Bikini Council never is furnished any copies of reports by the Department of Energy, copies of hearings on Bikini, etc. Dr. Bruce Wachholz, Co-ordinator for Marshalls Radiological matters, DOE, Stated that his Department was very much disturbed at the lack of coordination of the recent "whole body counting" exercise. at Kili and assured the Bikini representatives that future arrangements would be handied differently. He explained that much of the confusion resulted because there had been unexpected last minute changes. Unexpected problems had arisen with respect to the D.0O.E. logistic vessel on which the "whole body counting" was to have been done. That vessel could not be used and a TTPI field trip ship at the Last moment was substituted. It was then found that the "whole body equipment!’ could not be connected to the electrical system of the ship and the whole body counter had to be taken to Jaluit where there is alternating current. This was the reason why the people who were to be examined had to be taken to Jaluit. 3. Misunderstanding with respect to the Northern Marshalls Radiologicat Survey Report He also noted that the Northern Marshalls radiological survey report presented at the March 22, 1979, Appropriations Subcommittee Hearing
