(Amend the first paragraph under the above heading
by inserting the following immediately after
"Provided," ":)
That $3,000,000 shall be available for an ex gratia
payment to the people of Bikini Atoll pursuant to
Public Law 94-34: Provided further,
This proposed amendment will provide for the payment of $3,000,000
ex gratia to the people of Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands,
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The payment is for the
hardship they have endured from 1946 to the present time as a
result of having been relocated from Bikini to other islands so
that Bikini could be used for U.S. atomic testing. The legislation
authorizing this payment was signed on June 13, 1975 (P.L. 94-34).
