In a similar experience. the people of Eniwetok Atoll were paid by the United States. ex gratia. $1.020.000. The difference in the two sums Is the approximate result of a difference of approximately 350 people750 Bikinians and 400 Eniwetokeseand the lower 1975 value of the dollar. To those who might think this figure is too generous. I would point out that it amounts to $4.000 per person. or approximately $138 to each person for each of the 29 years they have been exiles from their most precious possession. their land. Truly. they are. to use a contemporary word. refugees. I urge the approval of this very meritorious bill.
