surveillance of persons that were repatriated from Bikini to Majuro
In FY 1980 it is fully expected that all persons that reside on Bikini
will be included in the medical program.
Baseline medical information
will have to be collected on persons scheduled to return to Eniwetok.
As a separate effort in FY 1980 it may be necessary to do a medical
survey of some 600 persons present at Likiep in 1954 with an additional
cost of 1 MB.
FY 81 will, depending on medical findings, include
persons of Uterik, Rongelap, Bikinians on Majuro and Kili, and 600
persons on Likiep.
It is also anticipated that based on radiological surveillance results
other population groups (unknown number) may have to be included.

the Pacific program.
A separate problem arises by more than tripling the population in FY 80
or 8] and that is travel between the islands.
The presently chartered
ship is inadequate to accommodate an expanded program.
If adequate
medical surveillance is to be conducted, it is essential that funds be
made available during FY 80 for purchase of a 175 foot ship.
The
estimated cost for the ship and furnishings is $1,5000,000-2,000,000.
