obtained from such a survey does indicate a need for relocazion of the persons presently living on Bikini Atoll, that
relocation snould not await further months of study and
planning.
Contingency planning for the possible need for
further relocation of the present Bikini Island residents
snould be undertaken immediately in order to prevent further
irreparable injury to them by way of additional radiation
exposure.
'
This Court should order the Defendants to submit
such a contingency plan within sixty days after entry of the
preliminary injunction.
III.
REQUIREMENT FOR INFORMATION IN MARSHALLESE AS WELL AS
ENGLISH.
While most of the People of Bikini do not read or
understand the English language, virtually all are well
educated persons who read Marshallese.
Much of the willingness
on the part of the People of Bikini to accept the risks of
movement to Bikini has been based on the failure on the part
of Defendants to furnish them with scientific information
known to Defendants.
Ultimately, it is the Bikini People,
not the Defendants who must make the decisions as to where
they will live.
They can only participate in those decisions
on a meaningful basis if they are furnished necessary informasion in their own language.
So long as information known to
Defendants is withheld from the People of Bikini by means of
Failure to translate it into Marshallese, the People of
3ikini will continue to be irreparably injured by their
inability to particivate in making decisions which affect
mem.
The Court should order Derendants to furnish all further
-ateriai information,
such as renorts,
inter-acency communications,
