While it is possible under this language for a person to receive a third payment if he suffers a third paragraph (1) milady, no such cases have arisen. We hope none ch arise. But if they |b, we believe such individals are entitled to additional compensation. Our proposed amencrent to gection 104 (a) (3) would preserve the Secretary's right to determine the amomt of additional payment for ancther milacy, and indeed, whether or not such payment shall be mace at all. Conoress has appropriated sufficient funds for compensation of the Rongelap and Utirik fallout victims entitled to payment under P.L. 95-134, including a small reserve for contingency cases. In addition to this request for legislation, the Secretary intends to make a full report, as required in P.L. 95-134, by December 31, 198, concerning whether or not additional compassionate compensation may be justified for individuals on Rongelap and Utirik Atolls. The second provision we recommend be added to E.R. 3756 involves the location of sessions of Legislature of the Virgin Islands. By resolution nunbered 976, the 13th Legislature of the Virgin Islands has requested that the Revised Organic Act.of the Virgin Islands be amended to permit sessions of the Legislature to be held other than in the capitol of the Virgin Islands at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. It is believed that the requirement that such sessions be held in St. Thomas precludes greater participation in the govermrental process by residents of St. Croix and St. John. The Administration reconmends that the request of the Legislature be accommodated and that H.R. 3756 be amended by adding the following language: Sec. « The Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands is amended by deleting subsection 7(b) (68 Stat. 500; 48 U.S.C. 1573(b)). The Office of Management and Buiget has advised that there is m ebjection to the presentation of this report from the standpoint of the Administration's program. . Sincerely, fovea ey James A.
